A crew of drag queens and dancers performed an apparent “parody of the Last Supper” at the 2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony Friday, drawing intense criticism across social media.
“This is crazy. Opening your event by replacing Jesus and the disciples at the Last Supper with men in drag,” Clint Russel, the host of the Liberty Lockdown podcast, fumed on X.
“There are 2.4 billion Christians on earth and apparently the Olympics wanted to declare loudly to all of them, right out of the gate NOT WELCOME,” said Russel.

They pick on Christians because they know nothing will happen to them, but then are called brave for doing so.
Want to be brave? Make fun of islam.
This show was vile.

Sparked no controversy here. I simply plan to watch none of the profane display, but to casually follow matchups and results in the reports.

Personally, I don't understand the fascination with watching endocrine freaks, those either natural-born or conditioned through the clandestine use of performance-enhancing drugs, running, jumping, and throwing objects to see which among them is the biggest freak of nature.

I doubt we'll ever see an Olympic opening ceremony with Muhammad and his 9 year old wives.

Not to worry. In a few years, the Muslims will have full control of France. Then, they'll be beheading all those LGBTQ celebrators that were prancing around making fun of Christians.

There is an old hymn that states this world is not my home, I’m just passing through. Never felt more true in my life. This world has gone mad! Bad enough to have these drag queens pushed in our faces for no other reason than the shock value of it, but to use an iconic painting of the Last Supper as mockery is highly disrespectful and was done purposefully and with malice. It was a disgusting spectacle and exposed exactly how malevolent they are. All that has been accomplished is a confirmation of who they truly are, pagans demanding our acceptance. It has only harden my resolve to reject this vile behavior. God is not mocked!

These young people have worked hard to get into the Olympics.
It's a shame that this show of low lifes has made everyone turn against the Olympics, but I am one of them. I won't be watching this travesty.

"Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant."

Shower thought: in this trans (which means “opposite or fake or anti-) Last Supper by drag queens, is Judas the good guy? Maybe secretly played by a real woman?
Inquiring minds want to know.

Okay, it's an athletic event - why is any religion (mocked or not) included in any aspect of the Olympics? But still, easy enough to mock Christians when the organizers know they will not lose their heads.

FTA: The Olympics said the performance was an “interpretation of the Greek God [of wine and festivity] Dionysus” to make “us aware of the absurdity of violence between human beings.”
From Wikipedia, a description of followers of Dionysys in his train:
"In Euripides' play The Bacchae, maenads of Thebes murder King Pentheus after he bans the worship of Dionysus. Dionysus, Pentheus' cousin, himself lures Pentheus to the woods, where the maenads tear him apart. His corpse is mutilated by his own mother, Agave, who tears off his head, believing it to be that of a lion. A group of maenads also kill Orpheus, when he refuses to entertain them while mourning his dead wife."
"In ceramic art, ... These scenes show the maenads in their frenzy running in the forests, often tearing to pieces any animal they happen to come across."

I wonder what would happen if someone did a heterosexual parody of some well know trans person - if they have any "heroes" -, like roux paul (?) or kitty litter (?) or that ugly old general Biggie Bidet likes so much.

1000+++ likes for #6!! The depraved mock Christianity because they know Christians won't personally do anything to them. However they are forgetting the One being mocked in their abhorrent festivities. He is the One who has the ultimate privilege of vengeance. So I have no doubt that His WRATH will be released.

Relax. This is the EU's France. The EU crowd views and does things a lot differently than we do. Mocking God in the EU happens all the time.

#26, re your comment, "Mocking God in the EU happens all the time."
They have done so much that is expected, and is virtually meaningless. It doesn't reflects anything they seriously think about, or just plain think about. But they know it "is low-hanging fruit", an easy way to offend others, and show to their peers how clever and creative they are - doing the same thing as everyone else they know.
