True, Christians must forgive enemies, however, Christians should have the same right to get onto global television as well, and reach 2 billion people on screens around the world during a popular event such as the Olympics. Once Christians are respected, we will not be as quick to judge secular events.

Respect of Christians??? ... Alex, brother, I don't expect that to come about any time soon. Or ever.

Correct, that would never happen, so why should we allow TV to show this junk on screen? The 2024 Olympics should be rated TV-MA (or 18+).

If we had authority in our society, we'd have a say as to what is allowed or not allowed legally. Unfortunately, we do not have that authority.

All we can do now is critically analyze, resist and expose what is presented to us.


P.S. I suppose we can also pray about it.

Appearing on French news channel BFM-TV Sunday, Jolly confirmed “The Last Supper” was “not my inspiration.”

I was telling my wife that I didn't really see the DaVinci Last Supper as the scene depicted, but I can understand how it was interpreted that way. Regardless, the "message" was still loud and clear: "Christians step aside" and don't tell us to eat cake.

Yep, we should pray for an end to this woke nonsense.

As I said in the other thread, I’ll take seriously the concerns over a drag riff on a painting when the same folks get that bent out of shape over Trump and Lee Greenwood bastardizing the actual Bible.
Trump and Lee Greenwood have demonic qualities as well. In other words, both the left and right have become taken over by dark forces. The world is not like it was 20 years ago, where Democrats and Republicans were closer to the center, and TV was not as sleazy.

It was inappropriate either way. If the offending subject matter pertained to the Olympic games, was specific to French history, or was performed at an art theater rather than the Olympics, then the "but it's art" argument might have a leg to stand on. If France believes in separating religion from its national matters then this shouldn't have been allowed in the first place.

The Olympics are about athletics bringing together people of all nationalities, races, religions, etc. Unfortunately, the controversial programming was inconsistent with that spirit.

If you want to see something bizarre...I think the Dutch did like a 2 hour interpretive dance thing for the opening of a tunnel.

A tunnel.
It was the Swiss, though the Dutch would do weird stuff also. :) Good infrastructure though. However, the dance for the tunnel was a little dark also. Just heard about this from you. 2016 is when things started going downhill in my opinion.

This stuff is pretty dark. There was also a mechanical pale horse that reminds me of the Horseman of the Apocalypse (Revelation 6:8).

I think it is a revealing of the LGTV movement's spirit, which has invaded modern TV, the Olympics, politics, schools, and Hollywood.

Right. But since the source is Satan and demons for all these things, we also might look at it like the Olympic spirit just came out of the closet. Not only about perverted sexual nonsense, but also about ritualistic darkness loving and promoting as well. And, of course to identify as anti christ.

Correct. Or, one could say the woke LGTV spirit (love of immorality) combined with the spirit of greed (love of money), perverting the Olympics itself. This is some serious end times stuff, brother. I am glad that God revealed to me in 2022-2024 that it is bad for me to ever be with a guy.
