I do not think that a city can organize the Olympic Games without a huge cooperation with the country. But you are right, the main agent is Paris, the capital of France.Actually, no. Paris is the host city. The Paris authorities organised the Games. This is in the tradition of the modern games.
Some may think the distinction is unimportant, I know.
Here is the official breakdown of where the funding has come from:I do not think that a city can organize the Olympic Games without a huge cooperation with the country. But you are right, the main agent is Paris, the capital of France.
Sure, but it's still a fetish. The morality has been lowered by those accepting and approving of it. Trying to make it perfectly normal. Introducing it to children etc.People who are “that way” are free to act in whatever legal fashion they choose though.
The “moral weigh argument” matters less now becuase the bar been lowered too often by those that used to be our morality-police.
I'm not the one who was there with his testicles hanging out, nor was I the one dancing around provocatively in drag and I wasn't the one 3/4 naked singing about sex and nakedness. So no I didn't sexualize anything. They did.Listen, I’ll just put it out there, but you clearly watched a different opening ceremony than the rest of us, and if what you got from it was eroticism… I mean, let’s be real, but that says more about you than the performance. They aren’t responsible for your sexualization or fetishized interpretation of their performance. If you’re watching it and looking for testicles… I mean… How is that their fault?
The created gender mockery is quite widespread. The US, Canada, Europe, etc. It looks like a worldwide agenda. I wonder if France totally called the shots as to what the ceremonies would consist of? Even if that were the case, why would a sport organization approve and go along with it?France is the host country and the most responsible for the crazy agenda, mocking of Christians and all the madness.
A teacher might invite several children to perform a poem in front of the class. (in this case let's compare Paris as being one of the kids) If one kid goes up with his pecker hanging out and defecating on a bible and spraying sewer water from a watergun at the class, one would think the child would be told they were not able to do their act. The school, the teacher and others are all responsible.Actually, no. Paris is the host city. The Paris authorities organised the Games. This is in the tradition of the modern games.

At this point I don’t even know why you’re continuing the conversation with this person, it’s a lost cause. Anyone who viewed the performance the way this person does, obviously isn’t interested in truth.So when one of those things is in a blasphemous public show that involves children and reaches millions you think that is fine. OK. I would say the wheat has grown and the weeds and it is almost time for God to harvest and separate them.
First; it is not the US, Canada, Europe, etc. that defines this as gender mockery - it is a little group, a small minority of Christians.The created gender mockery is quite widespread.

I think you were on a different livestream, my guy, lol. There were no testicles or sexy dances in my opening ceremony coverage, lol. Mine was people in drag, singing in what I think was French (maybe I’m remembering wrong), standing by a runway that models walked down, and the drag performers, of which there were more than 12, did a Feast of the Gods tableau before a French singer dressed as a Greek god started singing, again, in French.I'm not the one who was there with his testicles hanging out, nor was I the one dancing around provocatively in drag and I wasn't the one 3/4 naked singing about sex and nakedness.

What? I’m Christian, lol, and I didn’t misplace Jesus so I don’t need to go find him.It's obvious you don't care about and that your conscience is seared to the point that you can't recognize it.. I'm obviously not going to change your mind so I hope you have a good life and that at some point you find Jesus.
Its not worldwide. Its certainly not in China, India, Russia, Muslim countries like Turkey, some European countries (like Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Croatia...) and my guess is it also does not exist so aggressively in Southern or Central America or in Africa.The created gender mockery is quite widespread.

Like I said we aren't going to agree. Because there was. The fact that you can't see how wildly inappropriate this was is a testament to the searing of your conscience.I think you were on a different livestream, my guy, lol.

My conscious is seared to the point where I don’t invent rando scenarios in my mind about fetish content? And that is bad…? lol, k.
Did you watch the opening ceremony?

Since you are a believer I only have this to say.
neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not befitting, but rather giving of thanks. For this ye know: that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no man deceive you with vain words, for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Be ye not therefore partakers with them. For ye were sometimes darkness, but now ye are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth), proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them, for it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret.
Bible Gateway passage: Ephesians 5:4, Ephesians 5:5, Ephesians 5:6, Ephesians 5:7, Ephesians 5:8, Ephesians 5:9, Ephesians 5:10, Ephesians 5:11, Ephesians 5:12 - 21st Century King James Version
I'm personally not offended by this. It's just another example of the fallenness of man. I also recognize it as evidence of it and wouldn't defend it.
The fact that you are defending this clear perversion is not right by a defender of the gospel. If you don't wish to condemn it, that's fine. But defending it is not good. We are children of the light.
Are those involved horrible terrible people because of it? No, becauae they are slaves to the sin they are living. They can't help themselves. The fact that some Christians believe it's okay is not a good sign.
That's interesting. I've never met an OS before. What was it about the 90s Jacket? Could you sense a personality from it?For myself, I have mild objectophilia, but God has helped me with it over the past few years. Goes to show how these drag queens need God to free them of their vices. I also like Asian guys. Combine handsome Asian man + my objectophilia, and it is recipe for ungodly stuff such as lust. God once again has helped me turn away from my bisexuality more, and while I still have attractions to guys, I'd rather be with a woman or remain single and celibate for the rest of my life.
For me, I sometimes lust over Asian guys, or a beautiful woman. In November 2022, my Asian acquaintance tried on my '90s thrifted leather jacket at the local bowling alley, cos I wanted to see an Asian man wearing it. That definitely got me going. Even in November 2023, it was difficult not to think of him, as Koreans are attractive to me. Through the grace of God, I do not lust over him anymore, or over my jacket as much which I got in 2019 second hand.
1 Thessalonians 4:3 (NIV): "It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality."
OS Explained (woman married Eiffel Tower, age rating 15+ as nothing explicit is mentioned, though SA is mentioned and topic is heavy):
Agreed. I will not give my money to the Olympics, however, my coworker likes the teams, so I do watch some of the games (Suni Lee did a good job at gymnastics today, getting a bronze medal), though I pay 0 cents to the Olympics.Boycotting this Olympic games, ignoring it totally, not reading or watching anything. And countries or athletes can do the same.
France showed to the world (if somebody still did not now) she is sinking. Not interested in visiting/investing there.
Maybe I was hoping that if faced with the fear of God, they might wake upAt this point I don’t even know why you’re continuing the conversation with this person, it’s a lost cause. Anyone who viewed the performance the way this person does, obviously isn’t interested in truth.
And God - we winFirst; it is not the US, Canada, Europe, etc. that defines this as gender mockery - it is a little group, a small minority of Christians.
And should have stopped itFrance did not call the shots, Paris did (see above). I expect the International Olympic Committee were unsurprised by the opening as I am fairly sure that they knew a lot about it in advance.
Demon worship and possession and flagrant blasphemy and child abuse are not inclusive of everyone, to say the least.But you are right that attitudes of tolerance and inclusivity are widespread throughout the developed world.
If so, then believers should rejoice exceedingly and look up, for our redemption draws near. You can almost smell it.Paris is in step with the world on this issue.
Great. So perhaps the guilty will face near obliteration and then the rest of the world will have those last several years of the tribulation to come to their final choices. In any event, I think the bible says God's reaction to such things comes quicklyIts not worldwide. Its certainly not in China, India, Russia, Muslim countries like Turkey, some European countries (like Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Croatia...) and my guess is it also does not exist so aggressively in Southern or Central America or in Africa.
Or get wiped out by enemies quickly or some suchThis irrational decadence seems to be seated in fewer countries than not, but these countries are (for now) culturally or economically the most influential, so it optically looks like its everywhere. However, if these countries will not change their political direction, their influence and economical strength will not last for too long and they will implode like Rome, IMO.
You might want to PM me about this, as this topic is too heavy for public chat. As a Christian, God has helped me stay away from my object sexuality more, though it still is a vice for me, but much less so. I will explain everything there. Also, I have OCD, so that plays a role as well.That's interesting. I've never met an OS before. What was it about the 90s Jacket? Could you sense a personality from it?
I do believe spirituality and fetishism share a lot of similarities. OS possibly stemming from a hyper active theory of mind and anthropomorphism. I am not an OS but when I was a kid, objects and even text seemed to emit a strong personality. Although my Christian upbringing scolded me from finding objects alive. That all had to be channeled into one God(being).
The term fetishism I believe was originally used to describe a primitive spirituality.
You realize that as a person who watched it and knows what happened, all you’re doing is restating what you think happened, but didn’t, and trying to hold me accountable to this invented narrative, right?So when one of those things is in a blasphemous public show that involves children and reaches millions you think that is fine. OK. I would say the wheat has grown and the weeds and it is almost time for God to harvest and separate them.
