Paris Olympics swapped Jesus and his disciples with men in drag.

What is that on the table then? I can't really tell what it is.

Looks like some kind of audio equipment. Definetely not something to eat or drink.

 

[ozso]

Well that’s the thing, innit?
We don’t actually know anything beyond what the X post said, (which may, in fact, be incorrect), they probably have a table there because they needed a stage that wasn’t a stage, the “halo” on the one queen could be the crown on Lady Liberty?
But no, we’re told to be outraged so many will run with that.

Seems more likely a mockery in order to spark outrage in order to mock the outrage that was intended.

So what about the little child drag queen? What was the intended message in that?

It angers me but more than anything it makes me sad. I'm sad to see Jesus and the last supper mocked this way.

My wife insisted on watching it all. She loves pageantry. I found it insufferably boring.

But harmless. Certainly not evil. France isn’t Afghanistan where dancing is illegal or something.

Do you want others to fear Christians as they do Islamic extremists? That seems counter-productive to good news.

What if instead people thought, "Yeah, they mocked the last supper (painting), but you know Christians, they live above the fray, always kind and generous, never resentful and petty. You would have thought they were given some kind of honor."

Hopefully Christianity will progress enough to where lgbtqxyz and child drag queens are an integral part of it.

Wait. You are mocking them, and then get hurt when you think they are mocking you. I guess you don't like to be treated as you treat others. Interesting.

That child doesn't look like a "drag queen". In fact, most of the people in that scene aren't men in drag.

Kids can dress up?

My younger brother was gay.

He killed himself as a result of treatment handed out by Christians.

Why make this personal and put me in the position of talking about myself instead of the issue? I myself am not personally hurt by this because it wasn't directed at me personally. Likewise I don't feel personally mocked by it for the same reason. It's not a situation where I'm being treated one way or the other by it.

And my comment was directed at Christians who want LGBTQIAXYZ2+ to become an integral part of Christianity. Who bend over backwards to accommodate it and discourage any resistance towards it.

LGBTQIAXYZ2+

This term you are using is an instance of mockery. The point I made only seems personal to you because there is a ser of people who mock and then complain about being mocked, and you inserted yourself as a member of that set. My point was not personal but logical.

It's more likely that men dressed that little boy up to look like a girl.

Okay, I was wrong. What's the problem, again?

Another snapshot of this event is going to make it's way online throughout the day. A man's testicles 'slipped' out of his underwear during this 'performance'.

If men dressed as women with their balls on show in the presence of kids makes me a bigot/prude/whatever, then I'll happily wear that tag.

Was it an accident? They're wearing flashy clothes that might not be their everyday attire. Accidents happen. What are the possibilities for explaining this moment and the meaning of the whole show? That's what we should be asking ourselves. And, after much consideration, we can discard the whole thing as unimportant.

Here's a philosophical point: Does recreating the image of that moment in the minds of others by talking about it make it better or worse? I could have gone all day without that description.

In all honesty I meat to post LGBTQQIP2SA that time but my phone auto corrected it.

Show me an example of Christianity mocking LGBTQQIP2SA on the level of what took place at the Paris Olympics and then you'll be on logical footing.

Oh yeah, an accident! The choreographed, rehearsed and practised routine *suddenly* had a malfunction that couldn't have been avoided. Oh the things people tell themselves...

Support and cheer these things if you want but at least don't denounce those who don't cheer for it.

It would seem the actual philosophy is to not say anything critical about it at all.

I'm still not convinced it was a mockery of da Vinci's painting. If it were, I'm still not sure why it matters. Why should it matter? And if it does matter, what's my best response? I think there are two options: to feel honored (for reasons given above) or to feel indifferent (because who cares?).

 

[ozso]

The issue is it was a parody of Christianity and many Christians object to it. The problem is those Christians who defend it, embrace it, and encourage it.

Really the more I ponder it, it seems more like it was about making transgenderism and LGBTQQIP2SA a part of Christianity rather than mocking it.

Moral relativism. What a cancer it is.
