Pride and arrogance aren't what he should be tapping in to make himself strong and fit again, pride and arrogance may be what God was trying to break him of. Humility and faith in God and thankfulness for even limited improvements in function is what I'd recommend"

I'm sure you're baiting me here with your Jingoistic Fundamentalism but for the sake of the conservation, I will heartily retort!
What the hell makes you think he isn't already "saved" as you like to put it? Who the Fu#*k are you or anybody else to question his spiritual condition!!!???
Bad things happen to good people all the time!!!!! What about Holocaust and Tsunami victims just to name a couple of examples?????? Was God punishing them for their pride and arrogance????????
Just because someone has a "badass competitive attitude" doesn't mean God's going to somehow kick their butt to bring them down a notch!!!! He slid on some frick'in sand/gravel - $hit happens!!!!!!!!!!!
Stop trying to connect "salvation dots" for others!!!!!!! It's not your job!!!!
F-OFF!!!!!!!
