Why are Christians insisting the opening ceremony depicted The Last Supper when it really was the Feast of Dyonisus?

The biggest problem I have with the whole fashion show/Dionysus Parody - or whatever parody they wanted to make it about. Why did they ALL have to be LGBTQ/drag queens? The Olympics at its core is all about bringing everyone together - regardless of politics, religion, color, etc....and this should include lifestyle! The Olympic Committee - whether intentional or not - royally and I mean big time screwed up in this regard. If this were a true parody of Dionysus and you wanted to truly be inclusive and appeal to the spirit of the Olympics - unity - then in reality there should have been representatives of all races, all genders (LGBTQ AND non-LGBTQ), participating in the parody. Had there been a woman dressed in period costume, a man wearing a toga, a drag queen, etc. we wouldn't be having this discussion. Also, the humongous gold halo on the center lady's head could have been a bit more understated because my mom said that was what made her think of the Last Supper - the in-your-face huge gold halo.

Not all drag queens are LGBTQ

I know, that's way I used a slash.

In general, the interpretation of a slash (/) in writing can vary depending on the context and the conventions of the specific field or language being used. However, there are some common conventions that can help you determine whether a slash is meant to convey "or" or "and":

"Or" usage:
- In most cases, a slash (/) is used to indicate "or" when presenting a choice or alternative between two or more items.

Then I guess you have no problem with it, it included the people you listed. Yay!

That IS why I had a problem it - because it included ONLY included drag queens (whether LGBTQ or not).

Am I understanding that correctly?
American evangelical Christians are philosophically equivalent to fundamentalist Islamic Muslims?
Because they are both reacting to the opening ceremonies in similar fashions.
That’s where we are in the timeline?
What a world.

It’s because they both believe Jesus is to be respected unlike the French and the LGBTQ

So to respect Jesus, we have to uphold the fantasy of a gay man who painted him?

Liberals sure know how to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

See ya here in November. The silent majority will speak.

You think the opening ceremony at the paris olympics is really going to turn out voters?

Right now it's all they have. Seriously. Look at this thread. This is the best they can do.

this thread is the only place i've heard the opening ceremony discussed in days.

i was in another room and my wife and daughter watched it, and commented that it didn't make sense. a group chat of people from high school said it was "kinda metal" because I guess there was a guitarist at some point?

No - but the backlash and media/social media-led by the RWNTs will.

The online right is pretty out of touch. They still think Vance is likable.

Why is it easy pickings to pick on Christians and what do you think Christians will do once they realize their religion is under attack by the mainstream? Liberals literally want drama and call for it. It’s like they want to lose elections and get a hard Christian right winger government. For the love of God, leave well enough alone as a progressive.

You’re pushing a boundary when mocking one of the biggest religions on Earth let alone two of them.

What was the reason?

LOL, yeah Muslims have it so easy. They're only threatened by a major political party in the US. Constantly demonized at every turn and if there's a mass killing spree, they have to pray it wasn't a Muslim so they don't ALL get blamed while you get to hear the "mental illness" defense if it's a white Christian (which is most of the time) and only that individual is blamed for it

You really have your head up your own a$$ and it's quite obvious that you've been so pampered as a Christian that a f***ing performance is enough to make you think you're a victim. Tell us about the "War on Christmas," too, and how it's like being r*ped when greeted with "Happy Holidays."

Again, you are combining three separate stereotypes into one and thinking I fit into the Fox News fundie. I am a minority American/millenial myself, and I am a registered Democrat voting for Trump. Many people like myself are voting for Trump

I voted for Bernie Sanders and then Hillary in 2016. I voted for Trump in 2020 after doomsday Nazi camp predictions didn’t come into fruition like liberals said it would . I will vote again in 2024 for Trump because the progressives like you are so insufferable and Kamala talks in circles about what she plans to do and what she believes in. All I know is she believes Trump is bad.

They're really helping the "they're just weird" campaign.

Oh man, it's so sad that you just found out da Vinci is gay.

Does everyone see the deflection here?

They don’t know how to listen. Maybe their emotional Iq’s are off

Because that's what a normal politician says about the Olympics. The rage is really limited to an insane corner of right wing keyboard warriors.

Of course you wouldn’t believe it. I am sure you also don’t believe Hillary lost for real on that momentous night in 2016. You believe Russia hacked all the voting machines from PA to Fla changing each one as meticulously as they can throughout the night from cubicles in the Kremlin?

Those poor misunderstood Muslims who toss gays off buildings, cover their women from head to toe, invade other countries and rape women, children and the elderly, and stone women who get raped. The only reason they worry about who commits violence is because it is usually them.

yes all of this happens every day in the US. I am so afraid that a muslim is going to gay throw me off a gay building.

That’s why they aren’t messed with.

Because they do these things and sadly with the way liberals keep mocking Christians, I’m not going to be surprised if Christians fight back and I will solely lay the blame at the LGBTQ+ (plus what?) and Democrats for it
