Croom, what would you say if a young guy won a race and said, "Praise be Allah!"?
I doubt he'd appreciate that very much.

Personally, I have absolutely no problem with anybody's religious beliefs as long as they keep the proselytizing to a minimum. When it's on the podium of a nationally televised mx race, it comes across a little self righteous.

What i find really bizzare is when a rider thanks god for keeping them safe right after telling an announcer they think they have a broken bone??????? If a broken bone is safe then i would hate to think what isnt.

Here is a question of those who have faith.

If God/Jesus is Charles ( or whatever his name is) the old carpenter from Jerusalem or wherever an actual person, then who the hell is Satan, was he the plumber? sparky? or just someone made up by religion to instill fear?

Is/was Satan an actual person?

Thanking god is a bit silly.
If indeed there was a god that existed outside the property of time and created this universe,
I highly doubt it would give a rats ass if anyone thanked it or not.
Now Larry Brooks on the other hand.... Smile

I would have thanked the baby jesus. I like to think of him in a little ranchero outfit with white crocodile skin cowboy boots and a bolero jacket, And a really nice cowboy hat also, dancing to "Los Tigres Del Norte" .

IF their is a god, and he made us in his image, I'm sure he knows we're not perfect. I mean, he made us, right. And apparently, all we have to do is ask for forgiveness, and all our sins will be forgotten. Again, IF.

If pride is the first mortal sin, why do some Christians act so proud of their beliefs?

it is correct to ask QUESTIONS in time they will be answered! Bye the way what do think is the answer? By the way they were not related!

Because the bible is just a made up story....


Also the Priests that wrote it left a lot of Gospels out of it.
Reason being,people in those times would have called BS and not followed them like they did.
It was written for nothing more then power and control.
Even Christianity proves that til this day,with it's horrible concept of hell it uses to control it's followers etc...
Don't you find it kinda funny that Jesus taught his disciples about one god and his followers about another god?

I'll try. Christians believe Satan was a prideful angel that went haywire and got kicked out of Heaven. He then went on to seek revenge on God by waging war on earthly believers.

If money was the root of all evil then why do the churches have collection tins.
I would personally like to thank the apes for me being here.
If people believe in god then good on them but do you have to go to church every week to believe in god or is this just to convince yourself that god exists.
When we have a fallen rider do you thank god for him now not being able to walk.
if someone wants to thank god on the podium there should be no problem with this as this is his/her belief and it is good to have beliefs like i believe we come from the apes.
Why do religuos peoople tell you what you should believe in but don't want to listen to you when you tell them jwhat they should beieve in

I took a wrong turn on the way to the Atlanta SX and found myself in a truck stop full of hookers. They weren't hot.

That couldn't be more correct.....it's sad that the reality of many of the wars from the begining of time to the present day are actually religious wars underneath the cover.

I really don't get that the riders do this so much on the podium but it's their soap box I would really like to see what everyone's reaction would be if a rider thanked ANY other religious figure not related to christianity.........now THAT would make a 25 pager.
