With Jesus On Your Side
|
A friend once emailed me these images of some delightful looking ornaments. And splendid as these pieces of pottery are, there was one discordant note that they struck in my naturally perceptive mind. And that was this...
I suppose I'm right in assuming that the bloke in the cloak is Jesus and he's helping these kids to, well, not to put too fine a point on it, cheat at sports. The implication is clearly that with Jesus on your side you will perform better at competitive sports. Surely this is equivalent to taking performance enhancing drugs since the aim is to gain an unfair advantage over one's competitors.
Now, I'm OK about the turning water into wine business and making blind people see again, but fiddling matches is simply not on. Who does this guy think he is? Well, OK, so he's the son of God, but if he goes sticking his oar into perfectly innocent sporting activities then I'm going to carp about it.
In my opinion, he should stick to judging. He should sit on the sidelines and only be called upon to arbitrate when there is a disagreement about the rules, or something. Or perhaps bring someone back to life if they get killed by an errant golf ball. But getting up off his arse and helping an athlete to run faster, hit a golf ball harder or swing a baseball bat better is a gross violation of the fundamental ideals of sport.
Harrumph!
