Olympic Organizers to Christians: Sorry You Feel Butthurt
Olympic Organizers to Christians: Sorry You Feel Butthurt
A drag queen-led opening ceremony performance evoking “The Last Supper” sparked outrage among Christian groups.
You're viewing a single thread.
Christians seeing what they want and taking screenshots out of context to so they can be outraged at nothing. It's all they know how to do.
It very clearly wasn't meant to be The Last Supper to anyone that actually watched and didn't rely on a single screenshot posted on social media. They were standing/sitting beside a damned raised dais like a fashion runway. And that ran the entire length of the Seine with people standing and sitting on both sides of the runway. The angle the screenshot they keep posting on social media was only a few seconds long before the camera moved and showed the rest of the setup. It's clear manipulation to anyone that actually watched the damned ceremony.
Nonsense, there's clearly a long table there, and everyone knows Jesus (the CARPENTER) invented the long table so he could sit with all his disciples. Prior to that, everyone had to dine out in groups of 4 or less.
And every painting before had half the people blocking the view with their backs because Jesus invented artistic uh stuff I guess.
He paved the way for Putin
I dont remember Jesus throwing anyone out of a window
Absolutely, anyone who claims it's a mockery of the Last Supper, clearly didn't watch the show! Anyway, to me it's a good sign that the religious assholes are shocked, this means the ceremony didn't why away from showing diversity and inclusivity. I personally really enjoyed watching this ceremony. I found it very interesting and original. Also the part with Gojira really kicked ass !
Agreed. I totally did not see it as a mockery of The Last Supper.
If anything, I saw it as a drag show that was about to start. Then I was disappointed.
Absolutely, after seeing the outrage on social media I went and found the video and finally I understood why all the outraged people only used still from the show. If one watched the whole thing this accusation just seems silly. It is a good indicator that whomever is posting it didn't watch it and is just blindly forwarding what seems outrageous to them.
Can I get a link to that video? There's so much trash in the results when I went looking.
Here it is: https://youtu.be/j-Ou-ggS718?t=2h29m24s
(If it starts from the beginning, skip to 2 hours and 30 minutes)
I must admit that both my partner and me smirked at the last supper pose when we watched live. It clearly pulled inspiration from that and we're not even close to being christians
Well then you should probably look up more ancient celebrations that predate Christianity then.
The scene was reminiscent of the Feast of Dionysus. You know .. the Blue guy that showed up at the end of the fashion/dance stuff and laid in front of the group in that same scene, that was Dionysus. And the scene is a recreation of the Dutch painting of that festival of the Gods.
Would not be the first time Christianity took a story from another religion and created a fake story to cover allowing people to use their same celebrations and histories. Just make it about the Christian God instead and it's cool. Just like Jesus's birthday actually being in the March/April/May timeframe and Christmas replacing things like Festivus, Yule, etc. celebrations.
This of course makes a lot more sense seeing as the Olympics were created by Greece and have nothing to do with the Christian faith.
