Wow, I'd hate to see the list of things you don't support 100% because they don't match all of your ideals.

Okay so should we not give out free toys? free clothes? let people win free cars? If they gave your kid a bike would you take it or tell the kid no he/she has to work for it instead. This is one guys way of trying to get kids off the couch and doing something cool, being social, learning about taking care of the trails that they ride on. There are so many positive things to this. Plus this guys just getting started. Don't shoot him down before he even gets a chance to get going. You have no idea where this could all lead to.

Here is my question to ALL OF YOU:
If this guy had an amazingly awesome Mountain Bike for FREE for either you or your kid with NO strings attached and never said a word about God, religion, what not and just gave it to you, just because would you say:
1) "OH MY GOSH! A sweet new, free bike for my kid! Look what you got little man!"
2) "Uhh sorry dude, I read your company was Christain. Not cool but I'll take the bike"
3) "Sorry man, I can't take that. You said it was Christian based. I can't support that."
IT'S A FREAKIN' FREE MOUNTAIN BIKE FOR POOR KIDS!!! GET OVER IT!

Why does everything have to be about religion!?!? Some of the best social services and non-profits are created initially from religion (not necessarily christian, that's not what I'm saying).
I read and re-read this article. The guy mentions being a Christian ONCE!! Not in every sentence, not all over the place, just ones in a simple statement and that's it. All other 11 paragraphs talk about wanting to buy poor kids mountain bikes.
I guess I'm confused as to why we read cool articles, get to one small sentence and go "OH CRAP! The dudes a Christian. That's it, I don't want to have anything to do with. But yeah man, you're doing more than me"
