How exciting was that. One thing about Greg, he can pick a unique line or move for the big occasion, Bruni just outpicked him.

 

I am amused at the sneering about Gwin and his God. All I know is that if He did that for Gwin, I could use Him! [emoji317] And so could a few other armchair downhillers I reckon, although I'm just guessing at their abilities. I haven't noticed say Greg rubbishing Gwin's beliefs, funnily enough. Tolerance is obviously for sissies in hub lore.

Well there's an interview in which Gwin does refer to Greg as a Christian and I must admit there's aspects of his life that makes me think it's possible that he is. His respectful interactions with fellow competitors is one of them as is his stance on ped's. However this could also be explained by having been raised properly as much as having faith in Christ.

I think that this has a FAR greater influence on a person's character than their faith.

 

You get idiots, cretins and sanctimonious a-holes across all belief (and non belief) structures. So insofar as Christianity goes, it's by no means an indication that someone is a "good" person.

Agreed.

 

The way you are raised also plays a role in whether one bases one's beliefs/morality in a faith based system or not. In the end you decide for yourself which way you go on morality even though, imho, faith can help you make better decisions more often than not.

I don't think anyone has denied his talent...raw talent mind you + his orange size stainless cajones.

 

We just happy for Bruni, love Ratboy's mullet...think Greg is the best there is/was(well records show that anyway) and love seeing Gwin seeing his koek. We don't have to like him, we can't deny he is great rider(again records for the season show it)...Some prefer JR some prefer Bobby....queue Dallas intro.

I would like to see greg a few more titles just to make the circle bigger

People are not rubbishing Gwinn's beliefs, they are rubbishing the way he goes about it, there is a small difference. He is welcome to believe what he wants, he is also welcome to display his faith in the way he wants, and I respect his right to this, but that does not mean I must agree with him.
