But, I like my God. And like to say so in an unobtrusive kinda way. I like to THINK God looked out for me a teeny bit....because THAT is what I like to believe.

Surely didn't want people to argue over this subject!

The true subject was I wrecked up going relatively slow (who knows how fast exactly...) and for what COULD have happened with my lack of riding ability, the actual what DID happen isn't so bad.

Boy!!! The rash and my knee really hurt this afternoon.

Thanks for all of the words of encouragement.... I will be back as soon as Nationwide gets me going.
No disrespect intended man... was just trying to add a bit of levity to a bad situation. I thought people would grasp that from the wink/smiley face. Some times, I expect too much from people.

I saw the wink and got the humor. God SHOULD'VE looked out like 2 seconds sooner!

The knee just really bad. Plus, I sprayed 'new skin' on the rash..... Did that too soon. The crap the rash was oozing made BIG bubbles! HAHA!

Your reply was an obvious jab to the Christians on this site, and I for one didn't appreciate your smart-*** remark. The guy was relating his story and thankfulness for being relatively un-injured, and you have to make a remark like that. Way out of line and very childish, IMO. You would have been much better served and way more respected if you had simply made a comment about the wreck or lack of serious injury instead of attacking the guys religious beliefs and being sarcastic.
How can you believe in a god, and still have the nerve to call anyone else an idiot?

What does discerning an idiot have to do with believing in God? Your lack of biblical knowledge can be fixed, and it should be, so you don't look so ignorant yourself. Study God's word to show thy self approved.

Because it's idiotic to believe in a god when there is no observable evidence to support it. You may as well believe in Thor and Zeus. You are an atheist towards those gods, I'm atheist towards your god. I will not study the bible, it is an ancient book of fiction. I do not waste my time with that

What an idiot.......
See what your "I'm more holy than thou" post got started? Probably time for this thread to be moved to the "My Religion is Better Than Yours" section. Or the "I Practice My Religion Better Than You Do" section.

(Just engaging in a little humor )

Glad to see you haven't lost your sense of humour.
I nearly went over a small cliff last week by using my front brake on loose gravel.
Having escaped that I proceeded to lock the front wheel on tarmac and go into the back of a car that had stopped in front of me and go over with the Xbones on top of me.
Luckily no broken bones but I have some quite spectacular bruising on my hip and on my shin.
You have my deepest sympathy . I rode my bike home and didn't need any medical treatment.
The pharmacy recommended arnica for the bruising so I got some cream.
Wishing you well and hope you and the bike are back on the road again soon.
