I have to say I was a bit disgusted when I opened up my browser to see the headline that Pat Robertson, a supposed leader within the Christian community, made the comment that Peyton Manning getting injured would "serve them right" referring, of course, to the Denver Broncos' decision to let the Christian Right's golden boy Tim Tebow go and replacing him with the champion quarterback, Manning. This is the man who many in the Christian community look to for guidance on living a Godly life! I cannot imagine a more hurtful and evil comment coming from someone who claims to be a mouthpiece and follower of Jesus Christ. Come on people! I thought we were working with the philosophies of the NEW Testament here, not an Eye for an Eye...and even under the Old Testaments rules, Manning suffering an injury would not be an equitable punishment for a mediocre quarterback losing his job. Besides, how is it Manning's fault that Tebow can't toss a decent pass or make a decent call even with Jesus in his back pocket?
