We've merged a ton of threads into 1. Other thread titles included, "The Pagan Olympics" another was called, "France Summed up in 1 picture", "Paris 2024: Child R*pist athlete, Satanic Opening Ceremony, Drag queens gyrating next to young girls..." and “Does not wanting my kids to watch a bisexual threesome at the Olympics make me a bigot?”
Nonetheless, the United States will have a transexual representative from Delaware in Congress next year. Mr. Beast has a transitioning cast member. Jazz Jennings had a show during their transition. I don't think we have to worry about the French. We have Bruce Jenner and many other examples to groom our youth.
I guess you’re lucky that they weren’t around when you were growing up because you might have seen them and instantly chopped your parts off because that’s exactly how it works
Please go touch grass. You do not live in Paris, you do not pay taxes or have any affiliation with the country - you do not get to tell the country how they should perform their opening ceremonies. France does things different - if you don’t like it, then don’t watch - such a whiny b!tch. So many of you literally are just a sobbing bunch of losers who can’t appreciate a different viewpoint than yours. You lack diversity and culture. Things you gain when you travel out of the U.S. I’d be curious to see how many of uou actually have even been to Paris before.
Leaving the US to Milan where I actually saw the last supper painting made me more frustrated by this than I otherwise would have been.
That’s nice. Thank you for sharing you are frustrated.
They had made Christianity the official religion of the Empire 96 years before its collapse.
CORRECT!
The Roman Empire remained strong as long as it was led by pagans. When the Christians took over it was weakened, forced into willful ignorance, and rotted from within.
For anyone without knowledge of this, a decent starting point is to read "The Darkening Age" by Catherine Nixey.
"The Closing of the Western Mind" by Charles Freeman is also very good, although it's a lot more academic and detailed than Catherine Nixey's book.
And of course, the classic Edward Gibbon treatise on the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.
However, this being said, the French making a global show of mocking Christianity seems like absolute cowardice when they had a teacher beheaded recently for encouraging pupils to draw Mohammed as a free speech exercise. And they lost their balls again when it came to their last remaining opportunities to do something about it at the ballot box.

The thing with Jenner was kind of odd, but keep in mind he was an Olympian and he raised some great step-kids. If I were you -- and believe me, I thank your god every day that I'm not -- I wouldn't go spazzing out over Bruce Jenner.
I'm most offended that the creator thought having a morbidly obese person as the centerpiece would somehow make sense at an Olympic opening ceremony. Higher, faster, stronger, fatter?
Hey Trumpers - here’s an idea! If this bothers you so much, boycott the Olympics. That’s right - simply don’t watch it - you’ll feel better knowing you weren’t a part of that dumpster fire and you’ll be can feel proud knowing you made a difference with your actions.
Hate to tell you, but there's no such thing as satan. Or god, for that matter. People made those things up thousands of years ago in order to control you. Remarkable that it still works after all these years.
Wow, you better hope you’re right. Those bigoted drag queens sure won’t save you in the end. I’ll pray that you at least think about what you’ve written here.
Mark me down as another one who couldn’t care less about drag queens, but draws the line at religious bigotry.
Also find it hilarious that everyone knows they’d never have the balls to do this other religions. Bigoted cowards.
Looks like Bish Robert Barron is telling you guys that you need to step up. Don't take this lying down like a beta. Jesus would not want you guys to be the unheard meek on this Last Supper mockage. Do better.
Prominent Catholic leader and evangelist Bishop Robert Barron recently condemned a blasphemous anti-Catholic display at the opening ceremony of the Summer Olympics in Paris this week.
This is yet another repeat of the wackiness of the original French revolution. That wackiness led to a military takeover by Napoleon. As usual with military takeovers, Napoleon cemented his power by going to war and winning.
But winning the wars would not have been enough. He had to bow down to the Catholic Church, restore its position as the official church of France. That church will again soon prevail over the French silliness du jour. Not that it is correct as a religion, but it's the only strong counterbalance to their natural silliness.
If it isn't clear to you by know that Satan is in control, I don't know what else to tell you.

Actually no. I’m not a Christian but it’s about having some degree of cultural sensitivity and it was just distasteful. The Opening Ceremony is broadcast to billions of people around the world. Why not make it about bringing people together rather than creating resentment.

You right. Coz if satan, wasn't in control, donald chump would have been buried under a jail when he raped that woman and at least after jan 6th.
interesting that you mofos always claim satan in control. so what God doing? Sleeping? On vacation? Or perhaps silently telling you mofos to stop with your BS?
You mean that my individual liberty and right to freedom of expression won’t be respected and defended? Is Jason Aldean going to cancel me?
I thought it was a weird opening ceremony but I also think the response to it has been comical. There’s no rational reason why drag queens have become enemy number one for the culture warriors.

The show’s artistic director says that the set wasn’t meant to represent da Vinci’s last supper
DJ and producer Barbara Butch, an LGBTQ+ icon who calls herself a “love activist,” wore a silver headdress that looked like a halo as she got a party going on a footbridge across the Seine, above parading athletes — including those from countries that criminalize LGBTQ+ people. Drag artists, dancers and others flanked Butch on both sides. The tableau brought to mind Leonardo da Vinci's “Last Supper,” which depicts the moment when Jesus Christ declared that an apostle would betray him.
Jolly says that wasn't his intention. He saw the moment as a celebration of diversity, and the table on which Butch spun her tunes as a tribute to feasting and French gastronomy.
“My wish isn't to be subversive, nor to mock or to shock,” Jolly said. “Most of all, I wanted to send a message of love, a message of inclusion and not at all to divide.”

The God I know and love would have welcomed EVERYBODY - Drag queens included to the last supper table
