Does GOD approve of your motorcycle riding?

Why do born agains and fundamentalists feel that they must spread the word. If you believe, shut up about it and wallow in your self righteousness.
In my case, after 12 years of catholiscism being forced on me, I've hardly been inside a church. Except for weddings, funerals, etc.

PLus Mike - you are spoiling our fun......theological arguments are great because everyone is soooooo polarised......and soooo easy to wind up......

I am in the the 'Don't care what you do in the comfort of your own life - but don't tell me the wrongs of mine' group......

I am with Lou - why do those who believe get such pleasure in telling us that don't that we are wrong.

When was the last time someone dressed in a suit (or sim) knocked on your door at either 1: 8.30am on a Sunday, or 2: Dinner Time, and said

' Hi, I am XXXX, (passes copy of Fox Porno mag over) and I am an atheist.....if you practise religion you are wrong - and you are wasting you life on a deity who only wishes to get rich off your tithe and have his minions have their wicked way with you sons before rightful age, then move to the UK and then be extradited back to NZ....denounce your saviour now and join atheism and save your children from a rodgering in the name of your god......denounce now I say.....'

Generally - the only time people get irate about religion is when someone who is a believer force feeds it to you and tells you by not relinquishing control of your life to Hey-Sus - your soul will suffer enternal hell and damnation on your death.

O.K. I give in.

But watch out. Once I get started, there's no stopping me. When I've finished with deism, theism, eschatology, ontology, Aquinas, neo-Platonism, St Augustine and Gnosticism with a bit of Zoroastrianism and Zen Buddhism thrown in for good measure, you'll be sorry you encouraged me.

Its like those individuals, and we don't have any here, that believe that there is only one bike and they will 'burn' and bury any other bike. Seen it happen when a poor guy had his bike burned, as in deliberately set fire to, at a BEARS meet. His "BEAR" machine had broken down and he wanted to attend the meet. I wonder how he got home??

Lou - You are correct about "Fundamentalists" they have really screwed up such a simple thing, sort of like the LTSA

Off now to compose a theology paper on politics for the group.

It is with great displeasure sometimes to spread the word to a lost and dying world, for many scorn, scoff, and ridicule the messenger- when it's the message they have a problem with.

Sometimes I want to shutup, but I continue to speak because I am commanded to by a much higher authority than man!

And about self-righteousness... I have the same attitude as the Apostle Paul had- I am "the chiefest of sinners."

It was a Triumph.

Or maybe a Priller

LOL- if you were a more experienced rider Dan I'd listen to you, but alas, you're really only a noob when it comes to motorcycling. Owning an R1 doesn't mean squat!

Ps. how does your girlfriend feel about your addiction to pornography?

I knew my avatar would raise a comment.

As for being a noob....we'll never know your skill versus mine......but I will note I have never said I am a good rider....ever...you however have.....isn't egotism a sin?

Length in a sport doesn't dictate fuck all.....by the same token I know people who have been riding YEARS and still aren't great (this may be you).........don't underestimate anyone just because of how long they have been doing something. Becareful what you wish for also - as it can often have a frightening habit of coming true.....

I will continue to make no comment as to the virtues of my ability.......I don't feel the need to do so as I am happy in what I accomplished riding

As for owning the r1 - I only had it 4 months......I preferred my VTR to be honest.

All I know is I enjoy riding - point blank - that is all I need to know. I know I enjoyed riding with the people I did...and hope they did with me.....

Unlike you - my pursuit is to be the best rider I can be - I don't care about the person next to me......

You though.....seem hell bent to convincing everyone that you are the second coming of all things righteous......AMEN.....hopefully you are success in your pursuit on behalf of your higher being......

A world to the wise - you, like everyone on this board, are no better than anyone else.....regardless of your faith in whom or what ever.

I am done - this conversation is going in circles.......

Feel free to use my avatars.....
