Your right, the bulls don't need a positive Christian witness (after all that is what they are riding). :laugh:

The bulls may not need a positive Christian witness, but the other bull riders sure do.

At various rodeos some church people go to the gates and hand out tracts. But that could still be done by rural based churches visiting the farmers in their areas. It is the same principle as, you don't have to be a drunk to witness to a drunkard. Neither do you have to enter a bar to witness to them. You can witness to the same people in their homes when they are sober.

That is just a plain silly argument. Let's see how it sounds a different way. A Christian should never work at a bank. The money doesn't need a positive witness for Christ and the other bankers and customers can be met if their homes. A Christian never needs to step into a bank to witness to bankers or their customers. Here is another one that is just as silly. A Christian should never work in a widget factory. The widgets don't need a positive witness for Christ and the widget makers and their customers can be met in their homes. A Christian does not have to step into a widget factory to witness to any widget maker or their customers. And as you may have guessed by now, I don't think that going to a rodeo is the same as going to a bar. Apples and oranges.

It's funny (not really) that you will question the leading of the Holy Spirit in the lives of Christian bull riders, athletes, ect, but not the leading of the Holy Spirit in the lives of Christian computer programmers, businessmen, manufacturers, janitors, ect.
