    From Aaron Thomas@1:342/201 to All on Mon Jul 29 00:02:54 2024
    Today I found out that officials for the Olympics organized a mockery of the last supper with drag queens.

    I used to think highly of the Olympics because I thought it was an organization of competitions for the world's greatest athletes, but I was wrong. Now it's a platform for bashing Christians.

    It's political. The media thinks (and I think so too) that most Republican voters are Christian, so they're taking a jab at us. Let's jab back by boycotting the Olympics and anything associated with it. Please, and thanks.

    It's been political for a long time now. I stopped caring about the Olympics years ago because of it.

    Been boycotting the Olympics for years. Now I get to start boycotting the sponsors too.

    Today I found out that officials for the Olympics organized a mockery of the last supper with drag queens.

    No one seems to know what that table scene was supposed to be. The photos
    I saw of it didn't include any food on the table.

    Some of the other scenes that have been called into question have
    explanations.

    -- The headless lady was Marie Antoinette and should have been obvious to most;
    -- The "blue man" scene was a reference to the Greeks (who "invented" the Olympics) and their bacanal (sp?) festivities, which explains why it looked like something you'd see at Mardi Gras -- I do question why they included this Greek activity and not something more related to sports, but the "blue man"
    was not supposed to be Jesus;
    -- The person on the horse was not death but the spirit of the river that
    runs through Paris

    Despite their excuses, the normalization of drag queens is can be considered offensive even to non-Christians. The athletes shouldn't be forced into association with ridiculousness.

    They didn't. Christians have a persecution complex and assume anything that might resemble something Christian that happened in the last 2000 years is an attack against Christianity.

    Men have been putting on women's clothing, makeup and wigs on stages for over a thousand years. The fact that you can't stop thinking about what is between their legs says more about you than It does them.

    CANCEL CULTURE!

    I'm down with cancel culture. Nobody should be mocking or appropriating different religious, racial, or cultural groups. And any business that does that ought to pay reparations to whichever group they mocked.

    Refer to my previous message about appropriating. Men teaming up to mock women on TV in front of a gigantic audience isn't fair to women.

    IIRC, in Greek theatre, all parts -- male and female -- were played by men because women apparently were not allowed to perform.

    The Olympics are a Greek tradition so having men play all the parts tracks.

    Hello Aaron,

    Today I found out that officials for the Olympics organized a mockery of the
    last supper with drag queens.

    What a beaufiful sight. Dionysius sharing bread and wine with
    his mates. And telling what future plans he had for later that
    evening with one of them.

    I used to think highly of the Olympics because I thought it was an organization of competitions for the world's greatest athletes, but I was wrong. Now it's a platform for bashing Christians.

    Jesus was a Jew. So were all the others at the table. So how
    could any of them have been bashing Christians?

    It's political.

    French is the language of diplomacy.
    But sometimes actions speak louder than words.
    Which explains what happened after supper.
    It is true. Judas did kiss Jesus. On the lips.
    In front of Roman soldiers.
    Showing them all the power of love.

    We all know what happened next.

    Then Peter stepped in and used a sword to chop off the ear of
    a soldier. And what did Jesus do? He took Peter's sword away and
    told the soldier to go in peace.

    The media thinks (and I think so too) that most Republican voters are Christian, so they're taking a jab at us.

    The wife of Trump's choice for vice president is a Hindu.
    Her parents are from India. And also Hindu.

    Let's jab back by boycotting the Olympics and anything associated with it. Please, and thanks.

    "I can do anything!" ~Jim Morrison of The Doors

    The Lizard King was America's Dionysius. His performances
    in Los Angeles were legendary. May he rest in peace. In Paris.

    So you're saying Christianity should be canceled for appropriating The Feat of Dionysus in The Last Supper?


    I'm glad we agree on something!

    I didn't see anyone mocking anything. Just like during William Shakespeare's time, the female characters were not mockeries of women, they were just women played by men.

    It's not up to you or me to decide if women are being "mocked" because neither of us are (or identify as) women.

    Yes. It was the same during Shakespeare's time. Women weren't allowed to act on stage until the mid 1600s.

    But how do you know he was a jew? Did some form of media tell you that?

    The wife of Trump's choice for vice president is a Hindu.
    Her parents are from India. And also Hindu.

    I don't believe it. She doesn't look hindu. Hindu women wear fancier clothes than what she wears. Everyone wants to be hindu when it's convenient to be hindu, and then they want to be black when it's convenient to be black.

    Seems like you're a bit too sensitive. Maybe you need a safe space.

    Women are quite capable of standing up for themselves, and I know plenty of strong women that had no problems with the opening ceremonies, and even enjoyed the representation of diversity coming together.

    You're trying to virtue signal.

    It's not the virtue signal that you think it is.

    Worse. The Elitists are teaching women that true gentlemen are toxic and won't allow them to protect the women from mistreatment.

    It still doesn't make it right. Do you hold the door open for women, or do you let it slam in their faces, because "they're so strong?"

    I don't stand for it when men disrespect women. It's the way I was raised. I wasn't raised in California.
