Oh its true!? Im sorry, I didnt know that you had objective proof for this doctrine of truth. Of course you will probably bring up Biblical inerrancy and say the bible is without error and therefore it is true. There is no way to escape its circular logic.

while this "jesus" character may have lived, i find it very very improbable that he was the son of some "god". Religion is man made. Jesus was man, who may have died, but didnt die for everyone's sins. The romans didnt like him, and put him on a cross, just like they did to several people during those times.

this is an absurd idea, just as bad as campus crusade for christ and all organized religion in general.

way to mess up the one thing that i love in life. leave my unicycling religion free.

Why not draw a circle on a piece of paper for Christ?

To me, it seems like people use Christianity as another way of excluding people from their activities. Not that you specifically are doing that, but so many people bring religion into facets of life that are really unrelated to religion at all.

I'm starting to sound like Holden Caulfield, so I'll quit, but hopefully you'll consider what I said.
Well by riding for Christ you are using unicycling to help spread the word about Christ. Making Ice Cubes isnt exaclt preaching the gospel to others..

The whole concept bothers me. Not that you personally decide to unicycle for Christ but that you're trying to make this elitest group out of it. It's the prothelising Christians that bother me the most, unless someone asks why don't you just keep it to yourself. I don't bring up atheismunless the conversation is already about religion, why can't christians do that to.

I was right. Circular logic.

First off, lotsa stuff prooves that jesus might ahve existed but that some of the stuff you find in the bible isnt the truth, you can belive in jesus but do not impose what you belive on other ppl. Eternal life if I belive in jesus eh ? Well that tell me about budah and all those other persons ? I do belive there is a god, just not all that stuff you ahve been made to belive..

Now if my mom was dying of cancer I would uni for cancer yes, but I woudnt try n get everyone to do it with me. Also if my mom was dying of cancer it's dateh we r talking about not some character... If YOUR mom was dying of cancer I'd probly join in cauz that is a FACT your mom has cancer would be a fact unlike this whole thing.. If your idea was to create a community of ppl unicycling together that's cool.. you DO NOT need JESUS in there to help you have fun.

How about you read other stuff (that does make more sence).. If you do read davinchis code, it does have pretty good "facts" about jesus having a fmailly and kids, witch would actually proove that your whole bible stuff is a lie.. I'd name you who he had kids if I only rememberd..

Jesus is Lord, he says "Do all things through me." Therefore, when you unicycle...you are suppose to do it for him. Implying- Unicycle for Christ!

Before the flame wars get too involved...

I doubt you could actually get a club of unicyclists together for 'unicycling for Christ'. The unicycling community is so small as it is, and the chances of finding a group in your area that would meet for that purpose is very slim. It's probably better to just stick with making a normal unicycling club in your area and just putting your bumpersticker in your sig line.
