I'm sure there are good Christians and I'm sure there are good atheists. We have seen there are bad Christians and no doubt there are bad atheists.

Last Wednesday I stopped by to watch calf roping at the local arena and two guys in their forties with silver buckaroo saddles and mustaches waxed to perfection went first. They looked like the real McCoy and were riding professionally trained purebred quarter horses carrying silver bits in their mouths. After chasing and pushing the calf around the arena for several minutes one of them managed to head it. Next up was a brother and sister duo in their mid-teens wearing winter boots and baseball caps on backwards and no more than five seconds was the calf out of the shoot than it was headed and heeled. They got 2nd place for that and would have won on another night but some semi-pros were competing.


The buckaroos came to the show driving a brand new F-350 diesel pulling an angle load trailer with living quarters in the front. The brother and sister and their ponies came to the arena in an old GMC pulling a homemade trailer. When I left their horses were blanketed in an outside pen contentedly eating hay in the -20 night while the buckaroos pedigree mounts were in the heated barn having paid the stall fee.

I guess what I'm trying to say is looks can be deceiving, this rule applies doubly so for a simpleton.
