'i put no stock in religion. by the word religion i have seen the lunacy of fanatics of every denomination be called the will of god. holiness is in right action, and courage on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves, and goodness.'
'religion that god our father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.'
Yeah, I saw a male snowboarder make a similar comment at the X-Games. Can't remember his name, but he had Jesus all over his board also. I think its cool. I also think we are going to see more of it in "alternative" sports. Snowboarders live outside of the mainstream, that comes from its roots on ski slopes where its inventors were unwanted. Mainstream culture today seems to want religion, specifically Christianity, to sit quietly in the corner. These kids just won't do it. Its great fun to watch the media reaction during the interviews.
