Football and racing cars are not nearly as dangerous as being hundreds of feet up without a net...just for thrills.

A lot of Christians do a lot of things that aren’t right...and so deserve criticism. I wasn’t questioning his faith, only that he is taking foolish risks.

If he had not trained for this beforehand, I’d agree.

But this is his profession and he trains and minimizes his risk by doing so.

It would be just as dumb for someone who’s never trained to race a stock car, or is in no shape to play pro football, to drive a nascar race, or play in a pro football game. But the pros train to minimize the risk.

And so does this guy. And he’s not just a nobody. He’s part of a family of professional highwire artists.
