faith and devotion to God, Theoret believes the power of prayer also
played a huge role in his fate."
hmm, "Christian Fundies" race boats too?
It's amazing how much respect racers seem to have. Folks who live on the
edge seem to be that way. At every race, there is a riders meeting
before the day starts, every meeting ends with a prayer which everyone
in the crowd seems to respect, bowing their heads and ending with an
Amen. I know they all are not believers, but just tolerant. At the same
time, it does seem to be a very republican crowd (still have not met a
hard liberal there, most admittedly are republicans in their big ass
motorhomes) so tolerance and discretion is the rule...
What gets me sometimes is folks who won't tolerate others beliefs and
would even sue someone to keep us from having that small moment before
we go out and risk life and limb. I mean, even if you don't believe,
what if you are wrong? Would it hurt to bow your head and say amen, sort
of hedge your bet? I don't think so...
Now, if you live your life in a small bubble with everything handed to
you like someone who must going nuts on this thread, making your living
off the backs of good hard working men.... ah, but who cares, I don't
see it (pink army posts) anyway?
