Lyndon, you're a pillock..

Everyone has heard the expression "there are no atheists in foxholes", well here is a Canadian Christian (who happens to be a winter Olympian) who reckons there are no atheists at the top (or bottom) of the bob-sleigh run either...


Lyndon rush (good name for a bob-sleigher!) in an interview with a Christian paper goes on to say that no one minds that he mumbles to his invisible deity before a run, "even the atheists in my team don't mind" he says, Lyndon concludes the interview by asserting that he "doesn't believe in atheists".

Hold on a second Lyndon, I thought you said there were no atheists in your sport? make your mind up man, you say there are no atheists in bob-sleigh, but there are some in your actual team? Even if there were an omniscient, omnipotent creator of the entire universe (and you had the luck to pick the right one), do you really think she'd be in any way concerned with the outcome of a particular race on a particular day where you throw yourself down an ice drainpipe at 90mph holding onto a tea tray, a lightening bolt to the head for being so stupid would be more appropriate!

I think the atheists on your team are way too polite!

Hang on, Steve. You're talking about a man who throws himself down a sheet of ice at high speed - and you're questioning his intelligence.... Fish and barrel spring to mind.
