Are you a Good Sport?
"ARE YOU A GOOD
SPORT?"--MO September, 1972 NO.179A--GP
--Special 1972 Olympics
Edition
1. THE OLYMPICS ARE THE WORSHIP OF MAN, the
worship of his body. Fairs are the worship of his mind, his
mental achievements and creations and the works of his hands. But sports
are the worship of man's body; education is the worship of his mind;
business is the worship of the works of his hands; and churches and
Churchianity are the worship of his spirit, his own spirit, not
God or God's Spirit; and war is the ultimate that all
of these lead to! The ultimate manifestation of all of these is War!--His
physical prowess, his mechanical ingenuity, his tactical genius and his
indomitable spirit!
2. WAR IS THE ULTIMATE COMBINATION OF THE WORSHIP
OF ALL THESE THINGS, at what man considers his greatest, using the best of all
of these!--Man at his best, which is his worst!--WAR! His most
destructive worst, his greatest strength, his greatest genius, his greatest
inventive power and his greatest spirit, patriotism or whatever you want to
call it, is used for war and a competitive spirit against others who are
doing the same!
3. THE OLYMPICS IS A SPORTS FAIR, A FLESH FAIR,
FLESH PEDDLERS! See how this competitive sports thing has been the final
stages of every great civilisation and empire!--The worship of the body! It's
very sexual too, as you notice, all these things are very sexy. So sex is
included as a part, but in some ways a very minor part. Like the System, sports
glorifies sex, but at the same time belittles it and pretends to dislike
it.
4. IN FACT, IN THINGS LIKE SPORTS, SEX IS
CONSIDERED A PHYSICAL WEAKNESS and not to be very much indulged in if you
want to excel. You can look, but don't touch those pretty girls and
sexy-looking men, whether it's swimming or gymnastics or whatever! The whole
thing is a worship of the flesh and the worship of man with a competitive
spirit of war, the very essence of contention and competition and struggle:
warfare, and the perfect preparation for it!
5. DID YOU KNOW THAT THE NICARAGUA-EL SALVADOR
WAR, IN WHICH 20,000 PEOPLE WERE KILLED, STARTED OVER A FOOTBALL GAME? In
fact, Ernest Hemingway, the world famous writer, who spent so much of
his time in Latin America and Spain, said you could eliminate most Latin
American wars and their causes by simply banning football or soccer! Those
games get them so worked up into a frenzy against each other that nothing but a
total all-out war can truly satisfy the spirit of it!
6. THE ULTIMATE FULFILLMENT OF SPORTS IS
WAR!--Destroying the other guy's body that your body might
live! War is the ultimate fulfillment of the competitive spirit: the destruction
of others for self-preservation. Sports is war in
disguise, and the Olympics disguised all this under the totally false and
contrary theme song of "Peace"! That's their theme!--Isn't that
something! So they speak peace while war is in their hearts, and
they talk peace while they prepare for war--prepare their bodies
for war.
7. IN FACT, IN A RECENT ARTICLE IN NEWSWEEK
MAGAZINE (Sept. 4, 1972, pg.40) entitled "The Myths of
Sport", a conference of 1800 scientists during the Olympics in Munich
suggested that sports actually aggravate conflict and aggression, as
well as damage bodies!
8. THEREFORE, THE WORSHIP OF SPORTS IN ALL NATIONS
IS A SECRET WORSHIP OF WAR, the ultimate of all man's
creations!--Destruction!--And it is supported by the warmongers, the
Systemites of all Systemites! Sports have become the most nationalistic
and patriotic of all the System's games, aside from its ultimate game, which
is war! It is worshipped by the brutal, the violent and the cruel; and the
sports the world loves best are the most brutal, the most violent, the most
cruel and the most destructive, especially war! America is the greatest
advocate on earth of both sports and war, and therefore the guiltiest
of all! All these are an abomination to the Lord: Sports, supernationalism, and
war!
9. SO WHAT ARE THE CHILDREN OF GOD?--THE CHILDREN
OF PEACE and the love of Jesus and the love of the poor
and the love of the weak! What have we to do with sports? And
what place have we in the Olympics?--other than to cry out in
protest against them and against the worship of man and the war games that
increase the rich and destroy the poor!--A curse be upon them! Let
them be accursed by every Child of God! And may God damn those that destroy
the earth!--The "good sports" of war!--The wasters of the world! Man's
favourite sport is war!
10. ARE YOU A GOOD SPORT?--THE DEVIL WAS THE FIRST
GOOD SPORT! He brought competition into the Garden of Eden. Cain was the
first to exercise his physical prowess in the good sport of killing his fellow
man, his own brother. Murder became the world's favourite sport!--So
much so that God had to wipe out their little games with a flood!--Whereupon
Noah had to take to yachting to save his life!
11. ABRAHAM DIDN'T CARE FOR SPORTS. He
preferred to separate his and Lot's herdsmen to avoid the fights. When Jacob
tried his hand at wrestling with God, he wound up a cripple for the rest
of his life and never tried it again. Joseph's brothers thought it great sport
to toss him in a pit to become the slave of his enemies. Moses engaged in a
little sportful slaying of Egyptians and had to run for his life.
12. THE GIANT CHAMPION GOLIATH THOUGHT IT GREAT
SPORT to challenge God's children to kill him, so little David satisfied
him with a rock concert that ended his sporting career, and he lost the
championship. Solomon, a man of wisdom and peace found it even safer to sport
with his wives than to wage war. Make love, not war! The Romans thought
it great sport to mock Jesus, and wound up crucifying the Saviour of the poor,
the Prince of Peace, who never hurt anybody but the moneychangers! But that one
little episode of beating the businessmen at their own game helped to
end His earthly career!
13. PAUL MADE GREAT SPORT OF TORMENTING
CHRISTIANS, until God changed this sports enthusiast into a religious
fanatic whom all his old sporting friends wanted to kill. His followers made
great sport for the Roman games, with the Christians versus the Lions, and
the gory score enlightened by burning human torches as the stakes. The world's
sports fans have had the Christians on the run ever since, the Warmongers
versus the Peacemakers.
14. BUT GOD SAYS "BLESSED ARE THE
PEACEMAKERS, for they shall be called the children of God." God
himself is soon going to bring an end to this World Series of man's
favourite sport, war! With one final knockout blow that will Kay-O His
opponents for good, He'll win the title of Universal Champion of Everlasting
Peace, ending forever all competition and putting a permanent
end to the games of his enemies! He'll create a heaven on earth wherein
dwelleth righteousness without contest, and the meek shall
inherit the earth. For blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs
is the Kingdom of Heaven.
15. ARE YOU A GOOD SPORT?--OR A PEACEMAKER? Blessed
are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the Children of God. For we
wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against
powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual
wickedness in high places. For God hath chosen the weak things of the
world to confound the things which are mighty, that no flesh
should glory in His presence. For bodily exercise profiteth little: but
godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that
now is, and of that which is to come. Exercise thyself rather
unto Godliness. (Matthew 5; Ephesians 6:12; 1Corinthians 1:27, 29; 1Timothy 4:7,
8).
16. ARE YOU A "GOOD SPORT"? If NOT
join the peacemakers--The Children of God! Come and See!
