    Tebow hate reaches new low

    Did you hear the latest about Tim Tebow? He prayed with a woman as her husband was dying from a heart attack during an airplane flight.

    Isn't that disgusting?

    "I think I'm going to throw up," one commenter wrote.

    There have been thousands more like that posted on websites that carried that story. They should provide plenty of material for psychiatrists studying Tebow Derangement Syndrome (TDS).

    The malady triggers foaming at the mouth among two groups. One believes Tebow would be a great pro quarterback if only the anti-Christian NFL hadn't blackballed him.

    That has waned a bit as Tebow has drifted into other ventures. The other strain of TDS appears to have no cure. You know you have it if you're upset over what Tebow did Sunday on a flight from Atlanta to Phoenix.

    A passenger suffered a heart attack. The Delta crew sprung into action and a physician's assistant named Nicki Freeze started administering CPR.

    As anxious passengers watched the drama, Tebow left his seat to see what was happening. Nobody knows what he actually said, but Tebow leaned over and hugged the stricken man's wife and prayed with her and her friend.

    A couple of passengers took pictures and posted them on social media. The story was picked up by the mainstream press. I read a few hundred comments, and I'd estimate 60 percent praised Tebow.

    Here's a representative sampling of the other 40 percent. Psychiatrists are hopefully standing by.

    "Tim Tebow was getting in the way while trying to be a missionary on a plane? What a putz!"

    If Tebow had impeded the rescue, I'm pretty sure the flight crew would have firmly ordered him back to his seat. Instead, photos show the man's wife holding onto Tebow throughout the ordeal.

    "Tebow is the male equivalent of a Kardashian. Maybe he ought to change his name to Kim."

    In other words, he did it for the publicity. Some commenters even suggested the whole thing was a setup.

    Tebow didn't post anything on social media or speak to media. If he does, my guess is he'll talk about the efforts of the flight crew and Freeze.

    His foundation would only confirm the incident happened. I'd just like Tebow's people to explain how he knew in advance somebody was going to have a heart attack.

    "Why is this even a story?"

    Let's see... Man fights for his life on a plane. Famous person appears and tries to comfort family.

    Something tells me if that person had been Rob Gronkowski the commenter would have been fine with the story.

    "Prayed? Give me a break. Get out of the way and let modern medicine take care of the sick. Idiot."

    Tebow's religiosity is will forever animate TDS victims. In this case, the man died, which proved prayer is all a crock.

    But if he had, lived would it have proved prayer works? Have all those "Pray For Orlando" signs and prayerful wishes from President Obama been of no value?

    Theologians have debated such things for centuries so we're not going to settle them here. But whether you believe in prayer or not, the man's wife apparently found comfort in it.

    Doesn't that count for something?

    Tebow left the plane with her and collected her luggage. He put it in the car that was waiting for him and took the woman to the hospital.

    He stayed with her as a doctor broke the news that her husband had died. Then he went on his way and didn't say a thing about it.

    If all that makes you want to throw up, it says a lot more about you than it does Tim Tebow.

    He didn't actually lay hands on the man to pray for healing but they seem to rant as if he did. Seems to be the usual anti-Christian rants.

    A Delta flight attendant has also reportedly spoken out, adding that Tebow used his personal vehicle to transport the passenger’s wife to the hospital:

    Well even if he had, I have no problem with that.

    Sure but it seems that what he did do became an excuse for ranting against Christianity in general. A lot of people will do that on the net and then their rants are taken seriously as commentaries when it's nothing more than general venom.

    And their response matters because....? Jesus would have done whatever the Holy Spirit led Him to do and so should we regardless of social media's response. I believe Christians are often missing opportunities for God to move because they are afraid of how it will be interpreted by others...

    It's time we buck up and realize some are looking for God and truth and some are not...our only interest and purpose is to be the light to those looking...the rest is the work of them and the Holy Spirit. And social media and the world culture is driven by many who are not only not looking but are literally anti-God and will seize everything we do and twist it.

    From what I read this man also received medical attention so it's not like Time got in the way...

    That was my point, their response doesn't matter because it amounts to nothing more than general anti-Christian venom. There is no thought going into it, only knee jerk hatred.

    An ABC News reporter and a KGET News reporter both confirmed the miraculous details in this passenger's Facebook post:

    I have to share this story! I was traveling on Delta Airlines Flight Number 1772 from Atlanta, Georgia to Phoenix, Arizona when there was a medical emergency on board. An older gentleman began having what appeared to be heart problems, and he went unconscious. I watched strangers from all over the world and every ethnicity come to the help of this man for over an hour! Whether it was chest compressions, starting an IV, helping breathe life into this man, or praying everyone helped! I listened to shock after shock from the AED machine and still no pulse. No one gave up. I observed people praying and lifting this man up to the Lord in a way that I've never seen before. The crew of Delta Airlines were amazing. They acted in a fast and professional manner! Then all of a sudden, I observed a guy walking down the aisle. That guy was Tim Tebow. He met with the family as they cried on his shoulder! I watched Tim pray with the entire section of the plane for this man. He made a stand for God in a difficult situation. The plane landed in Phoenix and that was the first time they got a pulse back! Please share this with your friends! Pray for this man and his family, and also thank God that we still have people of faith who in times of difficulty look to the Lord!...
