[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mocking Christianity is like par for the course for celebrity artists. So boring. How many vapid pop stars are gonna pull a Devil era? How many times do we see some "artist" put themselves up like Jesus (Kanye?). It's not subversive anymore and therefore as a Christian I'm really not offended by it. I just think it's bad art! It's self-congratulatory and those who fall for it are just sucking D.

Also, big eyeroll trying to play it off as a different tableau. There are 12 people around a central figure with a halo. Miss me with your gaslighting.[/quote]

There were more than twelve people there.[/quote]

Sure...just a little artistic interpretation with the overweight woman in the middle wearing a halo similar to that usually depicted of Jesus?[/quote]

I got more of a Bacchus/Dionysus vibe from that part of the opening ceremony, which would more sense than a thinly veiled mockery of the Last Supper, which was painted by an Italian and is located in Italy. [/quote]
That’s because you correctly understood what you saw. It was Dionysus. It was a nod to a painting depicting Greek Gods partying. It had absolutely nothing to do with Christianity at all. [/quote]

DP. It's probably both. A lot of art can be read on several levels.

Otherwise there's no good explanation for the woman in the middle with the halo. If pp has a jpeg or link the Dionysus painting, though, that would help. I googled briefly but couldn't find it.

That said, if Jesus were around today he'd probably be hanging out with the trannies. In his own day he hung out with the tax collectors and other outcasts. [/quote]
