I normally don't care for PDP (public displays of piety) any more than I care for PDA.
Usually they seem either insincere (cause my mom would be mad if I didn't), prideful (look at me), or angry (take THAT you heathens). But I find Tebow honest in his. He seems to really not care what I think about it. I think he would do the same thing if all alone. And I don't think he is even aware of US while he does it). So, like a pair of old geezers looking soulfully into each others eyes while holding hands and blocking all foot traffic, it is actually a little endearing. Great story btw.
