Tim Tebow is scheduled to speak in front of the known anti-gay and anti-Semitic congregation of the First Baptist Church Of Dallas in Texas on April 28, according to the church's website.

Although Tebow, who is the quarterback for NFL team the New York Jets, has shied away from discussing homosexuality in the press, the pastor of the First Baptist Church Of Dallas, Robert Jeffress sure hasn't.

Jeffries claimed 70 percent of the gay population has AIDS in a television interview in 2011.

In a podcast entitled "What to Say to Those Who Are Gay" from the "Pathway to Victory with Dr. Robert Jeffress" series, the pastor stated:

"There are a disproportionate amount of assaults against children by homosexuals than by heterosexuals, you can't deny that."

Jeffries has failed to prevent factual evidence supporting the claim.

The First Baptist Church has also spoken out against other religions.

"Islam is wrong," he said in the same 2011 television interview. "It is a heresy from the pit of hell. Mormonism is wrong. It is a heresy from the pit of hell. Judaism---you know you can't be saved being a Jew."

Whether Tim Tebow, who was just voted America's Favorite Athlete in an ESPN poll, agrees with Jeffries's anti-gay sentiments or the pastor's views on other religions is unclear.

Some sports bloggers like Drew Magary speculate that Tebow using religion to hide the fact he is gay.

"It's a hard truth that the most religious guy on your block is the one most likely to be sneaking out to truck stops at 3 a.m.,"

Outsports's Cyd Zeigler--who points out that googling the phrase "Tim Tebow kiss" produces only photos of the quarterback kissing other men on the football field--also wonders about the possibility of the quarterback being a homosexual, in a post entitled "Is Tim Tebow Gay?"

"All that pious religious bullshit he spews, at the end of the day, that's not him," Zeigler writes. "That's what his parents and his pastors have drilled into his head from the day he was born. The kid doesn't even know who he really is...if he is in fact gay, he may not know it. Even if he does, chances are slim he'd be comfortable telling his mother or pastor, let alone us."
