    You sure talk like a serious Christian for bashing religion all the time. "The Lord" doesn't have a plan for everything. That's a stupid way to live. A 40mph crash with jeans and a t-shirt on is more than a scrape most of the time, this is like asking why would you wear a seatbelt? God controls everything so you're a pussy to care.
    Umm.... the lord is all knowing. He does have a plan for everything. Yes, your life would be a lot more relaxing if you acknowledged it was in his hands and quit stressing.

    Tornado coming? I can walk outside.

    God has my life set out, when it's time it's time.
    hell yeah. Now you're living.

    It's not all about death, most people don't want to get hurt either.

    Your argument about a full containment seat and race gear is just dumb and you know it.
    Wearing a containment suit in your car would probably reduce auto fatalities by 95%..... why is that dumb?

    Oh and I have seen numerous deaths from motorcycles and numerous people have a pretty bad wreck live, the deciding factor almost always seemed to be gear unless an outside force just made it useless (a tree, car, etc)
    You're thinking way too into it. Look at the times of the day when i post. I dont sit around thinking about what im gonna post on IA next..... I'm usually just sitting at my computer, something goes thru my head and i post it. The process usually takes about 45 seconds.... and that's including looking up a picture to post, which i usually do. For me to be seeking positive reps..... i sure do go against the grain a lot.........

    Bottom line........ if you're a christian, be a christian..... every time someone dies... its the lord's will. If you believe that, then believe it. I'm gonna assume that as i live my life with semi reckless abandon, that the lord has a clear plan for me and will not let my actions waver me from it. Sure i dont pray, or go to church, or read the bible, or believe, or care..... but i'm still one of God's children and he looks after me when i ride.

    I don't know what a containment suit is, but if you're talking about a racing suit, I doubt it would save anything. How many car wrecks kill the person due to fire? Exactly.

    Once again, how many of those deaths had seat belts and how many didn't?

    It's preparing for the worst. Not being a pussy.
