No, what I mean is that the Christian drivers consider bikes lowly and unholy. But we know Jesus would have ridden one if he existed. On Episcopal Church, at least, on Manhattan's upper west side, has an annual blessing of the bicycles: "Tenth Annual Blessing of the Bicycles Saturday, April 26, 10 a.m. Hundreds of bicyclists garbed in brightly colored cycling attire are expected to gather with their bikes inside the Cathedral for the Tenth Annual Blessing of the Bicycles at 10 AM on Saturday, April 26. Children are most welcome. Free admission. The Reverend Canon Thomas Miller, Canon for Liturgy & the Arts will officiate. He will offer a blessing to kick off a safe cycling season and sprinkle holy water on the bicycles. A bag piper will play as a riderless bicycle is brought forward during a moment of silence in remembrance of those who died in cycling accidents within the past year. " Maybe they're figuring that's what Jesus would have done. Presumably, most of the bike riders presenting themselves are not atheists. |
