I'd give my life to bring senna back so he could admit it had nothing to do with "god"

He was just born with it...

*beep* yeah...

So many fantastically talented people attribute *their* skill to that imaginary thing, it pains. It really does. Steve Caballero... probably my fave all time skater, still rippin it on ramps and bowls, and he's nearly 50, forever saying "Thanks to God, I can do this stuff..." No, Stevie, YOU DID THIS!!!

I realise they reckon they're getting their mojo from their faith, but to completely remove themselves from the equation, is just agony to watch.

But that would likely recquire divine intervention and make you a martyr for the wrong cause.. no?
But, feel free to have a go at it pal.
Pace,

What Senna described as "God", others would call ecstasy, bliss, a Zen state, total clarity, even an out of body experience. He chose to ascribe a Catholic meaning to it, which makes sense, because he was devout. I can't fault him on that. I think he was so good, he WAS able to attain ecstasy, and it was so powerful he couldn't walk away, even though he probably knew it would kill him.

Wonderful post, I absolutely agree and I'm not even religious. I think people get too riled up about what "God" or "religion" mean literally and disregard what they can mean to some people on the emotional level.

He was a catholic if you don't have any faith you won't understand

Everyone has the right to believe in a higher power without being ridiculed.
