Theres nothing wrong with expressing your beliefs, but come on…don’t crowd the just conversation section of the forum with them.
This thread is for anyone who unicycles because its FUN, or because its good exercise, or for any other valid reason. So long as its not for someone else.
Surprisingly, I was thinking along related but opposite lines: next Sunday, I’m going to go to church for the sake of unicycling.
How can someone be “underprivilieged”? A privilege is something that it’s good to have, but to which you have no automatic entitlement. So an underprivileged person is someone who doesn’t have enough stuff that he’d like to have but isn’t automatically entitled to anyway. For example, I’m underprivileged because I don’t have a yacht.
I think that if someone wants to unicycle for Christ/Allah/Buddha/Cthulhu, underprivileged children or stoicism, they should post in JC saying exactly what unicycling they have done for that particular deity, cause or philosophical ideal, rather than writing about the deity, cause or philosophical ideal per se.
I ride a unicycle when time and health permit because I enjoy it for its own sake. It’s quite fun, you know. You have to balance on one wheel and pedal.
Mikefule you have a very elegant way of expressing things!
My english is unsufficient to explain why though I like the fact that JC reflects diversity I feel unease when people start marketing their religious belief. As I exposed in another thread issues are more important than package and I consider religion a fairly private thing: we can talk about it but not boast about it. The comparison I made was talking in some ways about your religion is like talking of your sex life: you’ve got to be prudent (sorry but the comparison had hurt some people on the forum but I was’nt aware of something that could better reflect my feelings )
