So why does everyone feel the need to include some variation of the phrase, “Ride for Christ” in their signatures? How does that make any sense? Next time I’m riding, I’m going to do a crank spin in the name of the Christ or jump down some stairs for Jesus. Amen.
If they feel strongly about it is there any reason not state for whom or what they unicycle?
I, for example, knit for charity, play guitar for me (or to torture my cats), and unicycle for donuts. But I don’t think that makes a good sig and don’t feel that strongly about any of it anyway.
Amen to that!
look at the title under my avatar hahaha
I think you may just have started your own cult.
I hope you have a suitable compound.
Can you have counterfeit tobasco on donuts?
all in honor say “I”
Mike, welcome to the fora. You may not have been lurking very long so here is some history.
It all started in 'ot-3 with this thread. Then lay dormant until 'ot-4 and came back strong again in 'ot-6 with the Great Debate threads and the Unicycle for [THREAD=45420]Christ[/THREAD] threads.
Things have just been bananas since then.
I put my donuts on a banana to eat them. Then have the banana for desert. Keeps the sugar of your fingers and washes them down with something healthy.
“I”
I concur. I will unicycle for donuts. That means that I get donuts just for riding my unicycle, eh? Well…someone please make sense of “Unicycle for Jesus”
Are you unicycling because he can’t? Literally FOR Him?
Are you unicycling because it will help you find Jesus?
Are you unicycling because it will lead others to Him?
I just don’t see a connection, direct or other.
good question…can jesus unicycle?
If Jesus was truly the messiah, he must have been able to unicycle.
…i mean he could walk on water couldn’t he?
i’m no expert in the field…but i think that’d be harder to do than unicycle
I can’t promise sense, but I’ll have a stab.
Based on the idea that jesus gave his whole life for those who choose to follow him (quite literally, christian literature tells of how he was nailed to a tree cause his old man was trying to make a point about love - go figure - and you’re on you’re own on that one), it’s not unusual to find people who follow him to want to dedicate their whole lives to him.
Quite often this is expressed by ‘dedicating’ what others would consider mundane activities, to him, ‘unicycling for christ’ being an example.
Being an evangelical atheist myself, I don’t want to speak for these people, but I suspect they’ll tell you that they live their whole lives ‘for christ’, they just mention the ‘unicycling for…’ bit here because it’s a unicycling forum.
This whole discussion got way unneccesarily nasty when one young gent just could not stop posting threads with the same message all over the place.
Some baiters (guilty as charged, I have had my moments) just couldn’t take his ‘if you don’t, don’t post here’ disclaimer seriously.
As a fora, it’s not one of our prouder episodes. Peace does seem to have returned to the valley.
The ‘unicycling for…’ phenom (I love the undertaker) has also lead to some ‘other versions’. “Holding bananas while chugging counterfeit tobasco…” is probably my all-time favourite.
“Freedom is the distance between church and state.”
I agree, you are no expert in the field. I can walk on water and so have most people, even before ever learning to ride a unicycle.
really? i must be behind on the times…
I drywall for unicycles.
I suppose if I needed drywall, I would prefer to unicycle for it than give up cash.
Welcome to the fora… sounds like you have a nose for trouble with the U for J post! 
Maybe Gilby meant that most people who live in the Upper Midwest have walked on water (when it is frozen), but who really knows what Gilby means?
I am a Christian, and I suppose I understand why someone would want to advertise Christ in their sig or title. But if I am going to do something for Christ it is going to have to be something that I do better than unicycling.
Is this a testimony to your faith, your unicycling skills, or both? 
I listen for unicycles. I have to listen very hard. I have a serious unicycle buying habit.
I don’t think it’s anything to do with unicycling though.
To both, I suppose. But your question made me think it through a little more deeply. My initial logic went something like this: if Jesus wants someone to unicycle for him, he probably wants someone who is good at it.
The next logical step then became for me: What is it I do good enough that Jesus would want me to do it for him? I think one of the best things I do is smoke pork ribs. But being Jewish and all, he may not like that.
So you see, I am left in a quandry.
I think I will solve it by coming up with something that I really suck at and do it for someone I dislike.
Like: I sing horribly off-key for Rush Limbaugh.
Why NOT unicycle for christ? Why not live my whole life for him? I’m a christian ALL the time, so why should I just have Christ to sit in church on sundays and forget about him the rest of the time?
