Thank you for sharing this.x.com

It angers me but more than anything it makes me sad. I'm sad to see Jesus and the last supper mocked this way.
I am also saddened to see once again that this Sinful world is once more allowing the father of lies, Satan himself, display this disgusting and vile stuff mocking my holy Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Seems a bit paranoid. If it's supposed to be a parody of Leonardo da Vinci's painting, it's not a very good one. Who cares if it is? Instead of moving on because it doesn't matter, we should clutch our pearls over folks in drag acting like folks in drag. That's a great plan.

Apathy and hand waving is the very reason why things like this continue to grow larger.
All problems, especially ones based on evil, all start very small. You don't even notice them at first, and they grow over time and one day when you're tired of dismissing it by then it will be too late.

I agree completely. The daily slaughter and murders throughout the world is more evidence that we are living in a crazy and fallen sinful world.

Okay, what's your suggestion to change it? Should Christians assume it's about them? If so, what is the best response? And, how does that response make it better?
There's an old tradition, going back to the early days of Christian faith, of accepting mockery as an honor because to be mocked is to be like Christ. And the response to mockery is to love the one who mocks and care for them. I don't know of any Christian virtue associated with being hurt and resentful as if it's all undone. This all assumes mockery has actually happened, mind you.
Of course, who cares what someone does or says at the Olympics? I'm surprised folks aren't aghast that this event, which goes back to pagan Greece, is still held. What's next, Dionysian gaits in honor of mighty Bacchus!?

Yeah, it's terrible. I don't think this show means much of anything, even if they were trying. Indifference is a powerful tool when used at appropriate times. This seems like such a time.

When did Olympics have God /Jesus in them? Now if they were mocking Jesus and the Disciples. I would think that's in poor taste. I couldn't hear them. And to be honest, I'm getting tried of this phase. Hopefully it ends soon. And we will hear less about it.

The scene just now showed on NBC, which is broadcasting the opening ceremonies in prime time in the EDT time zone. It's not Jesus and the Last Supper. It's a portrayal of a fashion show, with people in wild fashions lined up on either side of a runway, while models walk up and down the runway wearing even wilder fashions. France, of course, is known for designer fashion.
Not Jesus, not the Last Supper. Chill.

I see they have a child with them of course. Probably a little boy made up to look like a girl.

That show isn't an isolated event, it's just a small part of the overall pervasiveness of lgbtqxyz+children+church. I know, we're supposed to just complacently accept it all. That saying anything against it is wrong.

It's not about pearl clutching, it is about what we love.
If it doesn't break a Christians heart that they feel free to make vile and vulgar displays blaspheming our Lord and Savior then....
You can't insult Islam in Paris, but this is fine with everyone and the Christians who are rightly offended are accused of pearl clutching.
Paris used to be some kind of Catholic nation didn't it, with a culture of its own? Now the culture kills those who insult mohammed and celebrates the blaspheming of the Lord Jesus Christ to the point of making it a public spectacle.
