\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a>\nIn an only slightly controversial move, a Stapleton resident has created a manger scene where there is no baby Jesus, but a baby Tebow. The baby Tebow dons a number 15 Broncos jersey, and the three wise men are all \u201cTebow-ing\u201d next to the baby.\n\u201cWe still love the baby Jesus,\u201d said resident Steve \u201cStevie\u201d Schall. \u201cWe just feel that this Christmas we have really been blessed with the thoughts of playoffs dancing in our heads.\u201d Schall has not completely given up on Jesus as potentially being the Savior. \u201cLook, we still think it is possible that Jesus is the Chosen One. From what we learn from going to church three times a year, he seems great. But, this is a \u2018what have you done for me lately\u2019 world, and Tebow has been there for us.\u201d\n\nSchall points to more evidence that Tebow could actually be the Chosen One. \u201cI haven\u2019t really read the Bible, but I know Jesus has performed miracles. But, as many miracles as Tebow? Probably not,\u201d states Schall. \u201cFurthermore, the Virgin Mary gives birth to the Virgin Tebow? I mean, wow. A little too coincidental.\u201d\nNot all residents are excited about the manger scene. \u201cI haven\u2019t seen something this sacrilegious in a long time,\u201d says resident Jim Farrell. \u201cI mean, depicting Christ as a baby football player? To use a football term, this is way out of bounds.\u201d\nThe small controversy has sparked some corporate backlash this week as Lowes has decided they will never again sell any home improvement items to the Schall family. \u201cWhat is this? The Soviet Union?\u201d questioned Schall. \u201cI thought I had some religious freedom here, but maybe not.\u201d\nSchall says he will keep the manger scene up until after the Broncos miraculous run with Tebow is over. In Schall\u2019s mind, that won\u2019t be until early February.\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
