Manfred,

I’m with you. As a biker, I too find the Blessing of the Bikes peculiar.

My parents’ church has for years opted to do a Biker Blessing that coincides with the Blessing of the Bikes each year. A wise decision I believe.

Colossians 1:19-20

“For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him [Christ], and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.”

It’s nice to see that some Christians recognize that God is reconciling all of creation to himself through Christ – and that all of creation, of which animals are a part, will one day be delivered from bondage from decay. Does that process look different for human beings? Of course, because human beings are sinners, whereas animals are not.

Hardly a slippery slope, and hardly a threat to the faith.

Peace.

I asked a Bapist pastor about the “blessing of the bikes” service that his church had. He said it wasn’t any weird stuff but just a service to ask God to give each rider a safe season.

Sorry, but I like cats. They taste like chicken.

$1.25 for a pod of sea monkeys? Looks like dinner time just got a lot cheaper.

Will they bless the family cow before it’s slaughtered?
