Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow was featured last week in a “Saturday Night Live” skit, which can be seen here. Now, rumors are circulating that the show is thinking about asking the cherubic 24 year old quarterback to host an episode himself once the season is over.

Though there’s no word as to whether SNL has contacted Tebow just yet, insiders say that the show’s producers view a potential Tim Tebow show as ratings boost, though there’s some concern that they ought to be praying themselves that he will acquiesce.

NFL quarterbacks have hosted SNL before (Tom Brady and Peyton Manning), so it’s not an entirely foreign enterprise. However Tim Tebow, arguably best known for his outspoken Christianity, may turn the offer down due to the rift between his convictions and the show’s bawdy content.

It’s possible that the show’s pokes and prods at their usual celebrity hosts may take a slightly more personal and vicious animus against the devout Tebow’s personal beliefs and faith. Last week’s skit which featured Tebow (portrayed by Taran Killam) and Jesus Christ himself (played by Jason Sudekis) was called “anti-Christian bigotry” by evangelist Pat Robertson.

Tim Tebow has thus far proven to be a controversial figure in the NFL. Some say he’s lucky. Others, that he’s terrible and that he’ll never make it as a quarterback in the NFL. However, in spite of the skeptics, (and discounting last week’s loss to the New England Patriots) the guy just can’t seem to lose. Will appearing as host on SNL soften some of the criticism pointed his way?

What do you think? Should Tim Tebow “turn the other cheek” and host SNL sometime after the NFL season wraps?

Tim Tebow’s string of last minute comebacks has left many people baffled. How can someone go three quarters with only a few complete passes but still manage to take win after win? It turns out the answer is pretty simple. Jesus did it.

Yes, Jesus has officially taken credit for the Denver Broncos last six wins. But JC might not be able to help the Broncos out this weekend.

Jesus said:

“The Patriots? That’s going to be tough. I mean, if I’m the son of God than Tom Brady is the guy’s nephew. That guys incredible.”

Jesus also said that he’s not the only one that the Broncos should thank. After his performance last week against the Bears, JC said that Tebow should probably direct his prayers to Matt Prater.

Jesus said:

“This guy hits a 59-year-old field goal… I’ll tell you something. I’d pray to Matt Prater.”

Here’s the clip from Saturday Night Live.

So is Tebow the Mile High Messiah? What did you think of the SNL skit?

Tebow has received a lot of criticism and a lot of praise for his overwhelming faith in God. Do you think Tebow is unfairly criticized for his faith? Kurt Warner, another stud quarterback and devout Christian, said:

“You can’t help but cheer for a guy like that. But I’d tell him, ‘Put down the boldness in regards to the words, and keep living the way you’re living. Let your teammates do the talking for you. Let them cheer on your testimony.’

Will Tim Tebow’s faith be able to conquer Tom Brady’s arm?

What could be more symbolic of American worship of capitalism than Jesus appearing on a Walmart receipt?

Apparently tired of appearing on toast, Cheetos and random trees, our Lord and Savior has chosen to grace a humble Walmart proof of purchase with his visage. South Carolina couple Jacob Simmons and Gentry Lee Sutherland shopped at the mega-retailer- who, may I note, is not very known for Christ-like practices- and discarded the slip of paper on the kitchen counter. After attending church on a Wednesday night, the pair went home to watch a film, only to discover the Jesus receipt when they returned.

Sutherland says:

“Right before we were about to [watch a movie] I noticed Jacob standing beside the counter. I said, ‘What’s wrong with you?’”

“He said, ‘Look at this receipt.’ I just looked at it and it looked kind of brown, and he said, ‘No, Look at it.’ So I took a second look and then I saw the face. The message  we had just heard at church an hour before went through my mind.”

The story quickly went viral, attracting attention and news exposure worldwide. Sutherland continues:

“People are going to believe what they want to believe… There’s tons of people who will say, ‘Oh, we’re in the Bible Belt,’ but here’s my question to the doubters, who else has the power to put their face on a check-out receipt but Jesus?”

The Jesus receipt is still in possession of the young couple, who say they’ve mostly shared it with family and friends since the June apparition. Do you think the Jesus receipt truly shows the face of Christ, or is this just selection bias at play? Had the couple spent the evening at the movies, for instance, might they have recognized the face of Tom Cruise on the slip?

Or most notably, everybody.

Still bummed you didn’t get sucked bodily into heaven on May 21st, leaving behind all your friends, possibly sinful loved ones and that super-high APR credit card bill? Well, you know who did get sucked up bodily into heaven? Jesus.

June 2nd is the celebration of Easter’s less candy-filled and more solemn cousin, Ascension Day. According to Christian biblical teachings, Jesus ascended into heaven on the 40th day following his resurrection, leaving the rest of us suckers here to wait in traffic on the LIE, listen to one half of a cell phone conversation in line at the Wal-Mart and watch Jersey Shore for all eternity.

Of course, not everyone is clear about the events of Ascension Day, and opinions about the fate of Jesus’ corporeal form exist across sects of Christianity:

The canonical gospel account of Jesus ascending bodily into the clouds differs from the Aramaic Matthew which finishes with Jesus’ command to make disciples of all nations. A variance of this teaching is the gnostic tradition which has Jesus transcend the physical realm and return to his home in the spirit world, and Docetism saw physical matter as being intrinsically evil therefore they believed Jesus ascended as a pure spirit.

The Ascension Day feast is one of the most important days in the Christian calendar, traditionally marked by prayer, reflection, and if you’re Catholic, Bingo Night.

Oprah Winfrey ended her final show by saying,

“I won’t say goodbye, I’ll just say until we meet again. To God be the glory.”

She then walked through the audience and off the set of her show and like that it was over. During the show’s 25 years of airing, Oprah interviewed over 25,000 guests and raked in more than 40 Emmys in the process. To say that she was slightly influential would be the understatement of the year, in fact the power that she wielded over her followers was borderline scary at times.

“I’ve been watching Oprah since 5th grade, for the last 14 years,” said one local fan. “Fashion changed, music went in and out, but Oprah’s always been there. This show was my one-on-one time with her.”

During the course of the final show, Oprah made it a point to openly express that it was God and her staff that deserved the praise for the shows overall success.

“People often ask me what is the secret to the success of the show,” she said. “How have we lasted 25 years. I non-jokingly say, my team – and Jesus.”

Oprah’s beliefs have always been the talk of Christian circles and some devout believers openly question if she is truly a Christian at all.

Kathryn Lofton, a religious history professor at Yale University, believes that Oprah wants to be viewed as a woman who “translates and understands herself as a Christian but reflects modern attitude about religion and religious institutions.”

It was reasons as this that she was frequently criticized for. Critics claimed instead of promoting the God of the Bible she was actually indoctrinating her audience into a New Age spiritualism.

Winfrey directly addressed those who doubted her faith in the true God in her final show.

“Nothing but the hand of God has made this possible for me,” she said. “For all of you who get riled up when I mention God and you want to know which God I’m talking about, I’m talking about the same one you’re talking about. I’m talking about the Alpha and the Omega. The omniscient. The omnipresent. The ultimate consciousness. The source, the force, the all of everything there is. The one and only, G-O-D. That’s the one I’m talking’ about.”

Here is a short video clip of her saying “farewell”.

It takes you by surprise. It is really clear in the wood. I was only heading to the toilet and found God. My wife thought He looked like Gandalf from Lord of the Rings but it is definitely more like the Turin Shroud. It’s certainly not what you expect to find in an Ikea store. Mind you, you need a little divine intervention to get out of here sometimes.”

The local IKEA management thinks it looks more like ABBA co-founder Benny Anderson.

This is just a funny picture I found. The one above is the real sighting.

A Philadelphia woman is claiming that Jesus had made a special appearance on his world tour of weird places by deciding to drop in and say hi on an MRI image.

Rhonda Hodge had a set of MRI shots taken due to issues with a bulged disc, when she made the startling discovery. “What went through my mind?” Hodge told local media. “Just surprise. Oh my God, that’s the crucifixion.”

Hodge isn’t going as far as saying Jesus performed a miracle as well, but she’s not ruling it out: “My neck does feel better. I don’t know if that was Jesus or physical therapy.”

There is no word yet on when the image will make its way onto eBay, although credit where due, the local station did get her to say that she’s considering it.

21 year old Oliver Bellerby was shocked to find the face of Jesus in a baking tray after making himself a burger for lunch recently.

Bellerby, from Harrogate, Yorkshire, in the U.K. threw a burger in the pan and popped it into the oven for lunch. After cooking and eating the burger, he says:

“I went back to the kitchen after having dinner to get a drink and I just saw it straight away – the face of Jesus. My mate saw it too when I showed him. It blew us both away so we took a picture.”

Virgin Mary spotting has dropped to new lows with a Texas family claiming that the mother of Jesus has made an appearance in bird poop attached to their pickup truck.

The image of the Virgin Mary appeared after Salvador Pachuca returned home after having an accident four months ago. The truck was taken outside for a wash, and then the Virgin Mary bird poop magically fell from the sky.

“I told my brothers come over here and see what this is and they say this is the Virgin,” says Salvador Pachuca told local media. Wife Cristal said she took pictures and began making calls to invite others to see, what she describes as, a miracle. “We just all feel protected. It’s a blessing to our family and to everybody that comes to see it.”

The family say they will welcome anyone who wants to see the image, and there are no plans yet to sell the bird poop on eBay.

We’ve seen all sorts of strange religious related appearances before, but this one surely sizzles. A South Florida woman frying salami was shocked to find that God had left his mark, in the form of his name.

Nancy Simoes claims that she didn’t see God coming, but none the less managed to discover the letters across three pieces of salami in order. She told local media that some people may think she’s crazy, but “I can’t make this up. … it’s there in the burn marks.”

The only remaining question for Simoes is how to preserve the salami for its inevitable sale on eBay. A local TV report as follows:

The separation of church and state in Florida is under heavy fire, with the State set to issue Jesus Christ number plates.

The proposed license plates depict in one version Jesus on the cross in front of a stained-glass window. The Jesus plates will be similar to vanity plates, in that they will be an option as opposed to general issue.

Florida Governor Charlie Crist has been urged to veto legislation that would introduce the number plates, but has so far flatly refused.

“I would not veto those …. No, I would not,” Crist said. Asked if he has a problem with Jesus on a license plate, Crist responded “I don’t. No.” On the question of Church and state, Crist argued that “If they don’t want one they don’t have to buy one” and defended the plates on the basis that “I think it … What’s it say? ‘In God We Trust’ on every single piece of monetary, coins and paper we have? I think it’s fine.”

Here’s a video of the proposed number plates, and the interview with Governor Crist.
