Virginity, abortion, and homosexuality have to come close to topping the list of hot topics in
contemporary discourse and all are discussed on the website for a new organization of AFTAH,
Americans For Truth About Homosexuality.
Its current lead article, reprinted from Life Site News, concerns the first two topics only. It
relates to Tim Tebow, Florida Gators quarterback, a "rising star" in college football who just made the
cover of Sports Illustrated and is a Heisman nominee.
Tim is also a unique star in today's America.
Home-schooled by his mom, and proud of it, Tim is a committed Christian, and proud of that as
well. Those facts, though, do not fully explain his uniqueness.
He dropped a bombshell last week at a news conference when asked a totally irrelevant question
by a nitwit reporter as to whether he was "saving himself" for marriage.
Rather than responding with the retort that many of us would use to an oddball query namely,
"What the hell stupid question is that?" he simply said, "Yes, I am."
Therein was the bombshell. The room was rocked and flabbergasted at Tim's admission that a
handsome, 21 year old, star football QB living in 2009 America, probably already plagued by teenage
groupies, was a virgin who planned to stay that way until he married.
Today, in our sex-saturated society such a revelation by even a high school athlete would cause
a media stir.
Tim is happy with the publicity he's been getting of late not because it feeds his ego but because
it has given him the opportunity to interact with many more people and spread his Christian faith.
One of the strongest tenets of that faith is a reverence for the sanctity of life and he has directly
and significantly benefited from his mother's strong opposition to abortion: It's the reason he is alive.
While pregnant with Tim, Mrs. Tebow contracted a life-threatening infection and was pressured
by her doctors to have an abortion. She refused and both she and her son are alive and well today.
Tim tossed another bombshell at the press conference when he said, "There has been a lot of
people that have been encouraged not to have an abortion because they heard the story of my mom, or
they have been encouraged because they have heard me give my faith on TV or in a report."
As I said, Tim Tebow is unique.
