Fringe religious conservatives melted down Friday night over the opening ceremonies of the Paris Olympics, decrying the spectacle as “Satantic.”
The phase “mocking god” trended on social media following the opening ceremonies, which included drag performers and a singing — beheaded — Marie Antoinette.
“BOYCOTT THE OLYMPICS” wrote @online_shogun along with a short clip showing drag queens in colorful costumes at the ceremony. “This filth is a slap in the face of all Christians. I reject this from every fiber of my being. You Moloch worshipping scum, you are mocking God, and for this you will be punished. As long as faithful people are here to reject f--otry and blasphemy, God.”
The post quickly gained traction, along with others.
“One day every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. One day every knee will bow. Mocking God is the height of foolishness,” wrote @TJMoe28.
“My opinion and I’m entiltled to it! Mocking God, never ever ends well… ILY” wrote @Wonderwpatriot7.

“If the Olympics are going Satanic and mocking god, they might actually be worth watching this year,” chimed in @ericlahti1.
Eh, just more Russian influence trying to disrupt the Olympics. Of course they don’t come out directly, they use one of their mouthpieces, the religious nuts in this case.
It's fun to watch all the horrible religious missionary type people and tongue-amputators outing themselves like flies to a honeypot.
People be trying sooo hard to sound like Gul Darheel the Butcher, 'scum' this 'i'll make you bow' that, lol!
Alsoooooooo. . People depict the last supper all the time. This isn't pakistan - there's no death sentence for imitation.
Unless you wanna go around lynching and yellow-badge-registrar'ing every four year old child who ever copycatted a religious painting in badly scribbled crayon.

In the quoted text there's some psycho fantasizing about forcing everyone to say what he wants them to say. "Every tongue will confess," holy shit. It sounds like some sick fuck who tortures people until they admit to crimes they didn't commit.
We absolutely should a) because they have a nasty habit of trying to make their displeasure everyone elses problem and b) because watching their conniptions when noone takes them seriously is fun.
You know, this is the kind of stuff the Bible meant when it said taking the lord's name in vain. Screaming "God God" when it's really just you being an ass.
Taking the Lord's name in vain is about using God's name as a vanity. American Christians are idiots who never question or investigate that phrase so they believe any unauthorized use of God is sin. They are also hypocritically unopposed to using God's name casually.
I was in constant fear as I didn't watch the opening show that they will show us biblically accurate croissant. Or a fallen baguette. Or an LAPD officer getting agitated by all the spooky stuff.
Moloch was for Jesus a symbol of wealth. Pretty sure these pseudo-Christians worship Moloch far more than any artist, trans or not, who performed during these ceremonies.
I wonder what would have happened had they done the same thing with Islam.
But seriously, I don't think people realise that having a drag queen re-enactment of the last supper, one of the most sacred scenes in the Bible, is simply going to embolden Christians more to push away any form of integration or acceptance with the LGBT community. Like, doing stuff like this is basically asking for a negative pushback.
Yeah! Everybody knows Jesus didn't hang out with the people society rejected and denigrated! He certainly wasn't hanging out with prostitutes or poor people or outcasts! He was all about maintaining the social order and keeping the Pharisees happy! That's why he was nice enough to help the money changers set back up in the temple after some whack job came in and tossed their tables all over the place!
Next you'll start in on some leftist propaganda about how people deserve to eat and have medical care. You think Jesus would, what, hand you some fish and bread and heal your leprosy? You better be able to pay! Inns ain't cheap around here!
I did hear of a pretty reliable source of silver, though..
There have been countless spoofs of that painting in cartoons, commercials, and other popular media for a very long time. Let’s not pretend it’s “sacrilege” the Christians are clutching their pearls at now.
Generally stuff like this commonly gets a backlash, but basically everyone I know of was watching the opening ceremony as many do every year, so obviously people are going to notice when you mock Christianity on a global scale when everyone is watching
There is a big wide world outside of the United States and sometimes satire is appreciated. If some rube in one of the flyover states gets butthurt then... Anyway...
