Chill.

No one us taking away your right to practice your religion. Don’t question their right to practice their art.

If a holy moment of Islam were portrayed by a bunch of drag queens on the world stage, I’m quite confident you nor anyone else would be defending it as art. I’d also bet good money the response would be violent.

But you are like them in thinking other people!s behavior should be curtailed by YOUR beliefs.

No, MOCKING other people's beliefs is not the same as disapproving of them.

They took artistic license with a famous painting. That is all the last supper is to many people. Artist are allowed to riff off other’s work.

I get it. They're weird.

Don't get me wrong I enjoyed it all, that lady who with that very stodgy military band was fabulous, the opera singer was someone I want to hear more of and the torch bearer were people I would like to learn more about, but this all had to be intentional. We didn't see much Arab/N. African representation. Why the deliberate black representation?

As a Christian I am actually so happy that we don’t go batsh!t over nonsense like this and go about our day. Not everything needs our attention. I think this is all vulgar and dumb but art has always struck more conservative people as vulgar and dumb. That’s the purpose of art- to make you think and feel things.

The last thing modern Christianity needs is violence and hysteria. Isn’t it enough that our brethren are working to create a theocracy?

Thank you! It's an artistic take on a piece of art. A painting. People seriously need to chill.

Does anyone truly believe that Jesus himself be offended by being depicted as a fat woman? If so, please report yourself to Matthew 25.

Well question is not for you then. You don't want to think critically.

To be fair to the French, shock and irreverence to religion and sex are their shtick and god knows they’ve pissed off the Muslims with it historically too.. But to claim this Olympics is all about peace and pausing conflict and then pretty gleefully attempt to offend many participants’ religions is pretty disingenuous.

I was at their 98 World Cup opening ceremonies - just a teen backpacker who got lucky enough to get tickets- and it was much more spectacle, fantastical, and whimsy and not at all political or controversial. Guess I’m getting old…
