I am not a big fan of those who preach religion. I know others will disagree, but I do not consider what Tim does is 'preaching'.
I do not recall him ever telling other people how they should live their lives (as 'preachers' would). Rather it seems he simply tells people how he lives his. I know that is a subtle distinction, but I think its an important one. I find it hard not to like the guy. Even though, religiously/spiritually, we could not be further apart in our beliefs.
