Which is the issue. Simply existing is apparently an attack on Christianity.
Simply existing is not an attack on Christianity. But putting a flamboyant, raunchy display on TV is.

No, no it is not. Just like Christians putting on a display is not an attack on secular America.

If Jesus rules with His people and does so as an absolute dictatorship of love, then we of course will reign over this ol world. Now in the first thousand years it will not be 'non believers' we rule over. Jesus will be right here for all to see and hear. The wicked will have been KILLED already.
Anyways…

Yup. I agree with you there.

I wasn’t saying ALL drag was fetish, only for a few.
I promise you, there’s somebody with a fetish for everything. If we were to become morally outraged by everything that is treated as a fetish by somebody, we are just going to walk around angry all day at everything, and that would be a fetish for somebody.

Hello folks. You know me already. I am a pro-environment, pro-life centrist who is tired of the stuff from the far-left and far-right, tired of my favorite TV franchises getting ruined with LGTV propaganda, and who wants to protect others from harm. My favorite pro-environment Catholic politician, Peter Sonski, would probably not approve of this nonsense. When I was a young teen in the early-mid 2010s, none of this garbage was on television on the scale that it is now. Glad I skipped the Olympics this year. Take me back to 2016, bro. Whew, rant over. As a bi Christian guy, this reinforces my stance that I'd rather be with a woman, or remain celibate for the rest of my life.

In order to keep this post relevant to both sides, I will present a leftist, centerist, conservative, and Christian perspective, to appease all sides.

The Scene is below

Quote from Reuters: "[The scene] recreated the famous biblical scene of Jesus Christ and his twelve apostles sharing a last meal before crucifixion, but with a group of dr*g queens, a tr*nsgender model and a n*ked singer made up as the Greek god of wine Dionysus."

Quote from Catholic News Agency: "One of the best known prelates of the Catholic Church in the United States, Bishop Robert Barron of Minnesota, called on Catholics to 'make their voices heard' in response to what he called 'the gross mockery of the Last Supper.' In a post on X, Barron said the blasphemous act was emblematic of a 'deeply secularist postmodern society' that identifies Christianity as its enemy. Meanwhile, in reparation for the blasphemy, Bishop Donald Hying of Madison, Wisconsin, immediately called on all Catholics to 'fast and pray, renew our devotion to the Eucharist, the Sacred Heart and the Virgin Mary.'"

Quote from NYP: "Controversial Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker slammed the apparent 2024 Paris Olympics’ drag queen recreation of the 'Last Supper' as “crazy” — as French religious officials denounced the performance as a 'mockery' of Christianity."

Quote from NBC: "For many minority French communities who feel alienated over tensions arising from divisive politics and scars from the anti-gay marriage protests a decade ago, drag is a statement of defiance."

It’ll only get worse, nothing from this group surprises me anymore. I mean who wouldn’t have expected that an LGBT group would plan something controversial if given such a stage?

Agreed. Leviticus 18:22, my brother.

Agreed. Leviticus 18:22, my brother.
“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures. Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them. For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error. And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper, being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭1‬:‭18‬-‭32‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

Blasphemy is a victimless crime.
Not true. God deals with it. Also, using the end time as an example, the world will blaspheme God and there will be plenty of victims. Death to all who disagree will be the rule then.
What sounds like a fetish is this weird fascination with killing all the non-believers.
The bible made it clear that judgment will come one day and that He will return and rule. No man affects that because what will be will be. God bringing peace at last is anything bust a 'fetish', That is a butchery of the English language and meaning of words.
(ETA: Not to mention "dictatorship of love" :rolleyes: )
God is love. So when He rules that will be exactly what it will be. The wicked will be gone from here forever. Banished. Not even remembered.
