Pay Your Debts and Pray Alone!

On the surface, one might not think that Donald Trump and Tim Tebow have much in common but don't rush to that conclusion. Shall we take a glimpse at the shared traits of 'The Donald' and 'The Q-Back.' Both seemingly have financial stability; Tebow's came from throwing a football whereas Trump's derived from tossing a few bankruptcies at creditors. Both gentlemen have a 'deity fixation;' Tebow worships his God and Trump believes he IS God!

The young upstart Tebow and the senior Trump each hold very high self-proclaimed opinions on an sundry of matters. I think Trump takes his role as chairperson on the television show, 'Apprentice' into real world matters and thus pontificates edict-like thoughts with a 'Hitler-like' persona. He is ready to 'fire' (dismiss) any who may hold opposite views than he. Trump's endless anti-President Obama remarks are well documented and he clings to the birther-conspiracy theory like stink hangs on manure.

Tebow is a bit more subtle with his passion promotions; everything he does or states runs a rail alongside his Christian views. Certainly, I find absolutely nothing wrong with that life-style except; that's right, EXCEPT! I always feel skepticism build within when anyone talks about Jesus constantly. I find myself awaiting that infamous 'other shoe' to drop. You may recall that when George 'W' orchestrated that military/invasion attack on Iraq, he later told reporters that he spoke to his Heavenly Father before authorizing the war-assault; the subliminal message from "W" was thus, George had a permission slip from God to kill people! BULL BUTTER!

Just this morning, I read that Tebow's lawyers have established a 'trademark' on Tebow's kneeling on one knee with elbow resting on the 'up' knee and fist at forehead assuming a prayerful posture. Give me a break, Tebow can now sue folks who strike THAT pose? I have no proof but would we not think that somewhere along the Christian legacy the same position was used while praying?  The next thing I am going to hear is Trump and Tebow came back from a mountain climbing venture with this mysterious stone-tablet with commandment-like rules.

Trump...Ecclesiastes 5:5..."It is better that you should not vow than to vow and not pay."

Tebow...Matthew 6:6..."Go into a closet and pray in secret to your Father."
