I've just watched the cycling in the olympics, not sure of the exact title, but if I say Danielle King, Laura Trot and Joanna Rowsell were the British competitors, you may know what I mean. I can understand the excitement and the overwhelming happiness when the girls won, not only for the crowd but mostly for the three girls. It must have been wonderful after all those years of training. However I am most perturbed with the rise of the religion of sport which demands such dedication from its proponents, its worshippers. Only God Almighty should have this dedication. He is the only one worth worshipping and dedicating our lives to. This is not only the case in sport. I play the violin, very badly I may say. At an early age I realized that the musician also has to worship music and spend long hours at the altar of music to succeed in the music world. Hard work is of course a good thing but when it crosses the line into worship it needs to be excised from our lives whil
