“Good Christian guy, prays the entire way.”
I’m sorry, but anyone who makes a living doing foolhardy things just for the entertainment of a bored callous public, is NOT setting a good example.
This is something like a “Christian” gladiator, but with suicide instead of murder the distinct possibility.
I don’t doubt he’s a Christian, but taking risks like this with the precious life God has given him....isn’t right.
I see your point, Evil Knievel probably inspired more broken bones than can be imagined when my generation were kids with Schwinn bicycles.
But whats awesome is that if the godless networks want to carry him live, they have to broadcast / listen to his live feed where he verbally praises Jesus for the entire trip.
Is crazy as it sound, I find it refreshing and I just know it ticks off liberals.
This is not an uncalculated risk.
This is not a risk he hasn’t taken without doing training to accomplish the task.
Lots of Christians take serious risks all the time. Firefighters going into burning buildings, not even sure there may be someone in there alive to save. Rescue, police.
Just standing on the side of the freeway talking to a motorist, can get a cop killed.
People work around dangerous machines that could kill them. In earlier times they didn’t have emergency shutoffs, or any kind of guards around gears and belts that could grab clothing or hair and pull you into a machine and kill you, and they were Christians. Taking risks.
He’s not doing it without training.
If he was just a normal person who just woke up and said he was going to do this, no training and no preparation, no tests on other easier less dangerous things, but said he’d do it just because he’s a Christian, then yes, I’d agree with your assessment.
