First of all, riding, or driving in general is a privilege not a right. So,if you choose to obtain a drivers license or motorcycle license, you pass a series of written and practical tests to prove your understanding of vehicle operation and the laws governing it. So, if one chooses to pursue the desire to obtain a motorcycle license, does'nt one do it knowingly, unless you have lived under a rock for 115yrs,that their is a requirement, by law, to wear a helmet ? So, if someone who already has a religious caveat that they believe prevents them from wearing a helmet, why would you pursue a privileged hobby or activity you are not able to perform in the first place? So, back to the beginning. If the Alberta government wants to trump safety with religion, then I say have a read of Corinthians 11:2-16. In short: a man shall not cover his head as he is the image of God. Different interpretations of the bible have different wording but all basically state the same. So, it sounds to me that ALL Christians can pose the same arguement to Mr. Brian Mason.....it's against my religious beliefs to cover my head.<br />Just something to think about. I'm all about choice but if the Government has already found that religious beliefs trump safety then sign me up !<br />Timshoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05820949379231040392noreply@blogger.com
