Did you hear the latest about Tim Tebow? He prayed with a woman as her husband was dying from a heart attack during an airplane flight.

Isn't that disgusting?

"I think I'm going to throw up," one commenter wrote.

There have been thousands more like that posted on websites that carried that story. They should provide plenty of material for psychiatrists studying Tebow Derangement Syndrome (TDS).

...

A passenger suffered a heart attack. The Delta crew sprung into action and a physician's assistant named Nicki Freeze started administering CPR.

As anxious passengers watched the drama, Tebow left his seat to see what was happening. Nobody knows what he actually said, but Tebow leaned over and hugged the stricken man's wife and prayed with her and her friend.

A couple of passengers took pictures and posted them on social media. The story was picked up by the mainstream press. I read a few hundred comments, and I'd estimate 60 percent praised Tebow.

Here's a representative sampling of the other 40 percent. Psychiatrists are hopefully standing by.

"Tim Tebow was getting in the way while trying to be a missionary on a plane? What a putz!"

...

"Tebow is the male equivalent of a Kardashian. Maybe he ought to change his name to Kim."

...

"Prayed? Give me a break. Get out of the way and let modern medicine take care of the sick. Idiot."

...

Tebow left the plane with her and collected her luggage. He put it in the car that was waiting for him and took the woman to the hospital.

He stayed with her as a doctor broke the news that her husband had died. Then he went on his way and didn't say a thing about it.

If all that makes you want to throw up, it says a lot more about you than it does Tim Tebow.

The author of the piece also makes this salient point:

Tebow's religiosity is will forever animate TDS victims. In this case, the man died, which proved prayer is all a crock.

But if he had, lived would it have proved prayer works? Have all those "Pray For Orlando" signs and prayerful wishes from President Obama been of no value?
