Ultimate fighting an orgy of blood,violence and disease.

This petition concerns the growth of not only the worldwide pornography industry but also the promotion of the practice of tattooing, piercing with needles and head shaving with razor blades which has become quite common and popular in the U.S.A. among, ultimate fighters, boxers, athletes, musician, celebrities and citizens of the U.S. in general.Using dirty needles and razor blades to perform these acts can spread much disease.

Although we have regulations/laws in the U.S.A. concerning tattooing/piercing shops being required to use new/uncontaminated needles for tattooing and piercing, many in the 2nd and 3rd world most likely do not have such regulations nor the tax/government resources to effectively enforce such regulations if those regulations/laws existed.
  
We in America and the rest of the developed world with our worldwide satellite media have a special duty to be responsible concerning this matter since so much of the 2nd and 3rd world takes their cultural cues from us.....including this practice of tattoing/piercing/head shaving.
  
The U.S government and associated world health bodies are and must continue to inform the world of the dangers of tattooing and the associated chronic and deadly diseases which can be spread from  tattooing/piercing and headshaving with dirty needles and razors blades which can transmit
not only HIV/AIDS but hepatitis, tetnus and other possible blood born pathogens.
 
There is now a worldwide epidemic of Hepatitis and HIV/Aids from irresponsible/immoral sexual behavior and from intravenous drug usage.....tattooing, piercing and head shaving done with unclean needles and razors may be or already has opened new frontiers for these deadly bloodborn pathogens to spread/infect/maim and kill.

1 in 4 Americans or 65 million people in the U.S. are now infected with sexually transmitted diseases which destroy the human body, reproductive tract and other body systems and an estimated 5 million people or more in the United States are infected with various forms of deadly and chronic hepatitis type B and C, which destroys the liver and causes cancer.

Another one million are infected with HIV/AIDS.

2 billion people on earth are now infected with deadly hepatitis B.

180 million people worldwide have Hepatitis C for which their is no vaccination.

350 million people on earth live with chronic Hepatitis B infection.

600,000 die each year from chronic Hepatitis B infection.

Hepatitis B is 50 to 100 times more infectious than HIV.

Chronic liver disease is the tenth leading cause of death in the U.S., much of this liver disease is caused by hepatitis.

An estimated 1.2 million people in the U.S. are infected with HIV/AIDS.

An estimated 35 million people worldwide are infected with HIV/AIDS.

Unsterile tattooing is cited as a important contributing source of HIV and Hepatitis, prisoners are expected to be at high risk from unsterile tattooing in prisons and jails, which surely is increasing as our media in the United States mainstreams and popularizes tattooing.

Sports organizations who don't regulate and/or put a stop to this practice will surely further promote and popularize this practice.... fighting sports organizations worldwide must explicitly warn people repeatedly of the dangers of tattooing and the statistics of HIV and Hepatitis not only in the U.S. but worldwide.

Also all athletes in these fighting organizations should be tested before every fight for all forms of hepatitis, HIV and other blood borne diseases that can be spread through cuts/blood while fighting.....especially so those with tattoos.

To not do this is to potentially contribute to the spread of these plagues further throughout the world.
 
How many young people in the 2nd and third world are already tattooing and piercing with dirty/contaminated needles shared with friends so they can be like the althletes and celebrities which they see on American television shows transmitted to the developed world.....many of these same young people most likely practice unsafe sex and some most likely inject drugs as well as tattoo and pierce with used needles.

Why promote and popularize this practice by glorifying it in sports and among celebrities?

There is an rise in drug use right now in many countries right now because of the flow of heroin/opium from Afghanistan, Mexico and other countries where drug cartels have gained power because of weak governments and excessive illegal drug consumption in the U.S. and worldwide....many of these drugs will most likely be injected and many of these same people will likely get or give tattoos to others, many of them will be infected with HIV, Hepatitis and other bloodborn pathogens and share tattooing needles.

Leviticus 19:28 of the King James bible states: 

"ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the Lord."

Leviticus 21:5 of the King James bible states:

"they shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh."

These diseases and plagues brought on by doing these acts, as well as acts of fornication and acts homosexuality are stark warnings from God to refrain from such practices.....those who practice homosexuality, intravenous drug use, tattooing and unfaithfulness to their wives and husbands are the high risk groups for these plagues.....this is not a coincidence.....this is strong warning from God of the wrath that is already here and the potential wrath that is to come for men and women who do not repent of such rebellion against God.

Corinthians 3:16 of the King James Bible states.....

"Know you not that you are the temple of God, and that the spirit of God dwells in you?"

Corinthians 3:17 states.....

"If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple you are."

Promotion and glorification of such disease spreading practices like tattooing by sports celebrities and others is a defilement of the human body, which is the temple of God, and is contributing to death and destruction worldwide by popularization of this practice.

Some may reply that most who tattoo follow the law and uses new, sterile needles to tattoo, but the tattoos and piercings created promote and endorse such practices to all who see the bodies of those who are tattooed and pierced, as they walk down the street and on television.

The proliferation and advertisememnt of the cultural practice of tattooing worldwide through popularization by the electronic media in sports, music and by other celebrities will no doubt lead to much suffering and death through dirty needles in 2nd and 3rd world countries as well as in the U.S.

Revelation 13:10 of the King James Bible states:

"He that leads into captivity shall go into captivity:
 He that kills with the sword must be killed with the sword,
 Here is the patience and faith of the saints." 

Surely with the promotion of and the sale and advertising of tattooed and pierced boxers/fighters/athletes/celebrities many are being led into captivity and death worldwide through contaminated needles and disease.....and surely if the Christian bible is the word of God, which I believe it is, those who practice such things may go into some kind of captivity and death from their participationn in these actions and others also who fail to voice concern or give warning to refrain from such practices.

Also, no doubt, when people are tattooed they are looked on with much suspicion by others and they become more likely of being falsely accused of crimes etc.

We should refrain from profiting from these repulsive acts and deliver ourself and others from the wrath of God and be blessed.

The profits made from those that tattoo and pierce and those that promote tattooing and piercing through the athletes they promote will not save them from the righteous judgement and wrath of God who surely finds this practice repulsive.

Organizations that promote fighting worldwide should make strong efforts to reign in and restrict the practice of tattooing as well requiring the wearing of headgear as in hockey, football, baseball etc.

Also increasing the frequency of testing fighters for bloodborne diseases.

A ban on all forms of professional fighting/blood sports/tattoing worldwide may be the eventual solution to protect human life.

This may even be the moral thing to do.

Many of us enjoy watching boxing/ultimate fighting but do not wish to participate in the spreading of plagues or witnessing someone receiving brain damage through lax regulations concerning testing fighters for disease and not requiring some kind of head gear to protect the brains of fighters..... even in the professional ranks.

Ultimate Fighting or "cage fighting" seems to me to be a grotesque and obscene orgy of blood, violence and disease.

Acts 15:20 of the new testament of the King James bible states.....

"that we should abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication and from things strangled and from BLOOD." 

We the undersigned agree with the sentiments of this author.
