"NFL pre-game question: Does God exist"

http://www.salon.com/2012/01/13/nfl_pre_game_question_does_god_exist/



     This sarcastic article's thesis appears to be that if Tebow continues to win, than God must be real.  It discusses Pascal's wager:  "Man cannot know for sure whether or not God exists, but he has nothing to lose and everything to gain if God does exist, so he should "bet on God"".  Obviously, Pascal, a french philosopher, was not referring to actually "betting", this article compares his statement to betting on God in the Patriot-Broncos.  As we all know, Tebow has continued to win against great odds and ths article suggests that since he is "divine" he has a chance of winning.  For example, "Thanks to Tebow, the non-faith of millions is hanging by a thread. And if he manages to beat Tom Brady and the Patriots in Foxboro, the issue will be resolved once and for all. Pascal’s bet will be paid by the Man Upstairs, and all those who pick the Pats will find themselves descending into the Lake of Eternal Fire".  I found this article to be funny and I think that the author did an excellent job in the use of sarcasm to make an enjoyable article.
     The author of this article, Gary Kamiya, used a great deeal of iron in the atyicle in order to describe to the reader the connection between quarterback Tim Tebow and "the Man Upstairs" (God).  Some very religious peple may have been offended by this article because it suggests Tebow is divine, but it was an article made for humor and sarcasm.
