Why Are People So Afraid of God and "Religion"?

Tim Tebow---you've heard of him, right? If not where in the world have you been the past several months during football season?! He's the quarterback for the Denver Broncos and this guy is not afraid to show his faith! We love what he stands for and how he's not afraid to show that he loves God and that Christ is his Saviour! But----there are a lot of people out there that are bothered by Tebow being so public about his faith! Why does this bother others so much?

Well, I've seen firsthand how people don't like for you to mention God. It happened in another Yahoo Group for adoption support. A woman simply stated that she felt that "this was all part of God's plan". You'd have thought that the woman was going door to door, making phone calls, and passing out flyers to the members. There were 2 women in particular that immediately started a fuss, wanting to know the rules on "religious posts"!! Are you kidding me? Well, a few of us posted our support for her and tried to say our side of it which was that she wasn't taking away from the reason for the group, but that this is just part of her life and how can you take the faith part out of your writings if it is a big part of your life?

In the end, the moderator sent out a message that we have to all keep the posts to just the question, and not mention anything "religious". Why is it that this bothers these women so much? I feel bad for them and just wonder what things are like in their house! I can only imagine.....
