    Sure. I'm solid christian, all the way man. People have talked about
    this very idea before, but nothing really happened...

  4. No offense to you or your religion, but doesn't it seem sort of trivial
    to say "we're unicycling for Christ?" I mean, I could understand
    unicycling to raise money for your church, or something along those
    lines, but unicycling for Christ seems extremely arbitrary. Why not
    make ice cubes for Christ? 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.

    Bah. All you'll find is a bunch of 'fluff' about atheist vs.
    christianity.

    Fine by me, as long as it doesn't end up like the last christian
    unicyclists thread...

    This thread appears to be about making a movement of unicyclists that
    have a similar interest. While, in the past we have had lots of
    discussion about religion, let's try to keep this thread on topic and
    put the rest in those past threads, no matter how controversial, and
    against my persoanl beliefs this is. 😉

    im not trying to imply that we are all unicycling for christ, but i
    thought it would be cool to start something new and diffrent

    no because even if it does belong there not nearly as many people will
    look at it or join and it would be a complete flop (it wouldn't work)

    ...

    Why not make ice cubes for Christ? ...

    Not trivial. Unicycling is what he loves to do. He presumably
    dedicates a lot of time and effort to be the very best unicyclist he
    can be. He derives great joy and happiness from unicycling.
    Unicycling is a BIG part of his life. And so...

    And so he dedicates that effort and that joy to Christ. He is saying,
    "Jesus, this joy is -for- you, -from- you, and -through- you. I do
    this for you."

    Sort of like in the front of a book -- "I dedicate this book to my
    wonderful wife and children. Thank you for standing by me. This book
    is for you." Or in The Little Drummer Boy -- the boy does not have a
    gift for the baby Jesus, so he plays music for Him.

    And if you were unicycling for Christ, you would try to do your very
    best, wouldn't you?

    skroboskim, I don't mean to put words in your mouth. This is just my
    interpretation. And speculation, actually. Because I'm an atheist.

    Lastly, Greg, I don't know where this thread belongs. He is trying to
    start a unicycle club based on an idea -- a common bond -- rather than
    a geographical location. This is unique, I believe. I think the
    thread should stay in RSU. It will stay more on topic in RSU (we
    atheists will be less tempted to have "fun" 🙂 with it in RSU).

  13. So how exactly does one unicycle for Christ? Explain to me how this
    actualy helps him. Do you spread the word of Christ whilst riding a
    unicycle.
    Because uh, just unicycling doesn't really mean your unicycling for
    Christ.

  18. I wheelwalk for Vishnu!

    ...not really, but it seems just as absurd.

    This is sort of like seeing people at shows who have shirts that say "I
    mosh for Jesus". It is ridiculous on every level imaginable.
