A man prompted outrage for attending the Belfast Pride Parade in Northern Ireland last Saturday while mockingly dressed as Jesus in a crown of thorns.

A spokesperson for Northern Ireland's small unionist Traditional Unionist Voice (TUV) party warned in response that public sector bodies using taxpayer money to participate in the event potentially violated Northern Irish law protecting religious beliefs.

"The Belfast Pride parade this weekend featured an individual dressed as Jesus, complete with a mock crown of thorns, dancing down the street and giving high-fives to supporters," wrote Adam James Pollock, an author from Northern Ireland. "I am so incredibly tired of this nonsense, and so sick of how normal attacks on Christianity are."

Christians don't have to tolerate this mockery of our Lord. I know modernity has conditioned us to be weak and submissive to these kinds of displays but we aren't morally bound to accept and tolerate these perverse displays

For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but it is the power of God to us who are being saved. (1 Corinthians 1:18)
