Pat Robertson Is Not Laughing at SNL Tebow Skit; Says It's "Anti-Christian Bigotry That Is Disgusting"

The Los Angeles Times website reports today (December 21, 2011) that popular televangelist Pat Robertson is not laughing over a "Saturday Night Live" skit on Tim Tebow -- the quarterback of the Denver Broncos.

The skit -- which has racked up millions of online views since it aired on NBC last Saturday night -- depicts Jesus appearing inside the Denver Broncos' locker room via a cloud and a heavenly shaft of light. He tells Tebow to ease up on all the Jesus stuff.

Robertson ripped into the skit during an appearance on the Christian Broadcast Network, attributing it to a wave of "anti-Christian bigotry that is just disgusting."

For non-sports readers of Theology and Society, Broncos' quarterback Tebow bends down on one knee during football games, and gives Jesus credit for his performance at every opportunity.
