The 2024 Olympic Ceremony opened up the games in Paris, France on Friday night, providing spectators with a taste of French culture and blasphemous art, leading to Christians around the world being offended and at least one sponsor dropping out.
Mississippi-based telecommunications and technology company C Spire posted on X that it had pulled all of its advertising from the Olympics over the ceremony’s mockery of painting created to show a biblical moment crucial to the Christian faith.
"We were shocked by the mockery of the Last Supper during the opening ceremonies of the Paris Olympics," the company posted. "C Spire will be pulling our advertising from the Olympics."

Now this is the desperate sp[in:
"Also, it was not the Last Supper. It was a depiction of an ancient Greek Bacchanal… because, you know, the Olympics are ancient and Greek. Surprise!"

So now it's okay to insult Greece???!!?? This is the spectacle you get when it is put on by someone who bases his whole being on who he sleeps with and what he does with his private parts!!
And did anyone else see the dude in the Daisy Duke shorts in that scene prancing around with one of his gonads hanging out??? On worldwide television???!!!

Any Christian athlete should also consider to refuse to compete and go home, but in the end they should not be penalized for this outrage. Whoever allowed this despicable presentation needs to go. Now!

Just came across this expression: "Honor is better than honors" and it is related to the scripture verse from
1 Samuel 2:30. There was nothing honorable about the opening ceremony.

I wonder if they have one of these despicable displays coming that ridicule Islam? Will we see it today, maybe?

Of course, the goal is inclusion they say.
What better way to do that than offend at least 2 billion people.
No, the goal is perversion and corruption.

Fortunately, there is one universal weapon that can destroy most evil in the world, whether it's practiced by cultures, businesses, the entertainment industry or governments. Cut off their money. The rest can only be fought with God.

We went ahead and sampled the opening ceremony. The cloudy, dark, and rainy weather was not helpful to the program. The entertainment was for the most part kind of sketchy.
France wanted to showcase some of its historical assets, and I get it. But, floating the Olympic teams down the Seine on tour boats was strange. Yeah, we notice, too, how the ceremony took a swipe at Christianity. Could have done without the doses of trannyism. But we sure liked the light show of the Eiffel Tower. Although the lighting of the Olympic cauldron was different. All in all, we got a good taste of the European and French value system. Not sure that C Spire really needed to pull its ads, but that it did.
We even tried to take in Day 1 of the sporting events. After one hour of being bludgeoned with commercial ads and DEI messages with a few competitions worked in between, we lost interest.

I would like to see those drag queens mock Muslims. I bet their reaction would be a lot different?

Whomever those idiot French hired as the opening ceremony Choreographer should be required to likewise parody Islam in the closing ceremony. Let's see how that plays out with their Muslim population... how many churches will burn as a result?

Missed the whole spectacle,,,,didn't have any interest in the olympics and the manipulation...politically of it's content....they will be losing many viewers...and the gross incompetence of the Olympic committee allowing wackos to display their assets...so to speak...is typical of the woke types who parade their deficiencies for the world to see....

From what I've read, I'm glad I didn't waste my time watching it. Sadly, I gave up on the Olympics years ago when the TV coverage became so disjointed - 15 minutes of this sport, 5 minutes of commercials, 15 minutes of another sport, repeat, repeat, repeat.

You'd be better off watching 16 Days of Glory - documentary of the Olympics held in Los Angeles 1984.

More bogus twistory.
The Bacchanalia were unofficial, privately funded popular Roman festivals of Bacchus, based on various ecstatic elements of the Greek Dionysia. They were almost certainly associated with Rome's native cult of Liber, and probably arrived in Rome itself around 200 BC. Like all mystery religions of the ancient world, very little is known of their rites. They seem to have been popular and well-organised throughout the central and southern Italian peninsula.[1][2]

"... many deem to be anti-Christian"
And some deem as purely satanic.
