That would be history repeating itself -- remember the Inquisition? |

Evangelical Christians aren't that big on studying the arts or history that doesn't have anything to do with the Bible.
I was really surprised NBC didn't realize how "knowledge challenged" Americans are, and provide actual useful commentary about what was going on. |
High level people in both France and Italy denounced the pageantry.This is not just an American thing. |
| Christians are the worst. This isn’t about you |
It's fine to denounce the pageantry, problem is the evangelicals here don't even understand what they are trying to denounce. If NBC had done a better job of explaining what was going on, realizing most Americans know very little about Greek or French history or the origin of the Olympics, it would have helped the evangelicals understand this wasn't a depiction of the last supper. |
| Yawn. Sounds boring. if you don't like it, don't watch it. I didn't. |
The leader of France's left wing opposition, Melenchon, I guess is also unfamiliar with Greek and French history. His denouncement: "I didn't appreciate the mockery of the Christian Last Supper, the final meal of Christ and his disciples, which is foundational to Sunday worship. Of course, I'm not getting into the criticism of 'blasphemy.' That doesn't concern everyone. "But I ask: what's the point of risking offending believers? Even when one is anticlerical! We were speaking to the world that evening. Among the billion Christians in the world, how many good and honest people are there for whom faith provides help in living and knowing how to participate in everyone's life, without bothering anyone?" he said. https://www.aa.com.tr/en/europe/french-opposition-leader-criticizes-mockery-of-christian-last-supper-at-paris-olympics/3287729 |
Is he infallible? Have you a new pope? |
Really? You can say that about so many other actions that are offensive to others and people go nuts. This was internally done to cause trouble and it’s very cruel to so many people you don’t know and don’t care about. |
| I've never seen Jesus or a Greek god in pants. |
That's how you can tell they're woke libs |
| I’m failing to connect the French fever dream opening ceremony skits to US domestic politics. Are some of those transgenders running for office? Would they be better VP contenders than Vance? Who knows. |

The French have a long history of mocking (and persecuting) both Jews and Muslims. I’m not sure why anyone thinks the French are anti-Christian. Does anyone even study French history anymore? |
As I have repeated several times and with links. But they have tunnel vision. |
