I posted how disrespectful this opening ceremony was on my page and was told that the creator of the ceremony said it was not inspired by the last supper, but that it was paying homage to a Greek wine celebration. I called BS because the politicians submitted a global apology. They insisted. Even if that was a misinterpretation there were still other elements that mocked Christianity and the Bible. Frankly, it’s getting exhausting calling out the obvious then being gaslit.
The apology was fake and only came after the world was upset. But initially they said that this was a tribute to Dionysus and The Feast of Gods and had nothing to do with Jesus and The Last Supper. Please tell me the elements that mocked Christianity that did already exist in Greek mythology which predates Christianity. How can someone pay tribute to ancient Greek mythology WITHOUT mocking Christianity?
I almost said I wasn't going to watch it after seeing this. But my wife said "don't blame the participants as they had no say in it". Food for thought.
I have never watched Olympics but to answer my brother asking why do they make the openings. The Olympics openings are similar to Super Bowl halftime show, they are traditions to the sports that happen to be there whenever there's a sports game. I THINK.
I mean even even if they are displaying free “lovel” which is really lust they're still making a mockery of Jesus even though that man in the picture is not Jesus, its still something that is seen as him to therefore to them that picture represents Jesus so its still disrespectful
Its fake free love and it is lust. Thats how many European celebration went. Mardi Gras Saturnalia, early Christmas, St P's Day and Halloween. However that t blue person is Dionysus. Dionysus predates Christianity and Jesus. Jesus has quite a few characteristics that Dionysus had prior to Jesus. You cannot do Greek mythology without stepping on the toes of Christianity because so much of Greek mythology is in Christianity.
Funny how Paris had a huge power outage after they mocked the last supper, but the only place that did have light was a catholic church. Stop playing with GOD.
Is that the same Catholic Church that enslaved millions of Haitians for hundreds of years in the name of their lord and savior. Is that the same Catholic Church that forced Haiti to pay reparations after losing to Haiti in the war. Perhaps the Catholic Church was the only place lit up because they are the only place in town that got rich off of slavery. The Haitians just finished paying those reparations to the Catholic Church so maybe thats why.
This is not mocking the Last Supper. If you were to pan out the whole image of the ceremony, you would see that there were way more people at the table than the 13 at the table of the Last Supper. This had more to do with Dionysus and The Feast of Gods than it had to do with Jesus and The Last Supper. No where in existence is there a blue character at The Last Supper. That blue character at the ceremony represents Dionysus who is always drunk off of wine which is why he is depicted in so many different colors. Yall this is the Olympics. The Olympics is a Greek thing. Not a Christian thing. The Olympics is where the Greek gods would come together compete and sacrifice to Zeus hundreds of years before the gospels were written in Greek. The origins of the Olympics are deep in Greek Pagan Mythology. The Greek gods lived on Mount Olympus according to the myth. Dont yall wear Nikes. Nike used to be at the Olympics too. She is a Greek goddess that specializes in athletics. Pedophilia and homosexuality was prominent in ancient Greek culture. Greek Freaks is what they call them. Yall so misinformed that its crazy. Yall need to be talking about why does a Greek ceremony remind you of Christianity
@@nukeboy4939 How are they directly mocking Christianity? If you are referring to the sexual wickedness, i can see that but outside of that i dont see it. Show me where you see it at.
@@nickjones1314 Just sharing but the woman who was in the center of that scene ended up sharing to her instagram a screenshot of the two images together and underneath it, it said "the new gay testament." So although it could be a depiction of something else, they're not denying it either.
@@AshleyB0319 I can respect that and i do realize that mocking Christianity is a real thing. I can even concede that many of the actors in the ceremony might have thought this was a shot at The Last Supper. But the ones who put this together understand Dionysus and Greek Freak Culture. The blue guy was not a shot at Jesus. That was clearly Dionysus. The cold thing about it is that Greek mythology and Christianity have a lot in common and you also have to understand that the new testament was written in Greek. So it will be difficult to showcase ancient Greek culture without looking like Christianity
The program for the Olympics named this scene the Last Supper on the tourism website. Also the large woman in the scene posted on her Instagram that they were doing a parody of the Last Supper. Dionysus was also a part of the parody. 😢
Christians, you guys should try something different this time. You should look at the historicity of the Olympics. Look at Greek influence of early Olympic concepts. Dont just sit back and accuse by faith. Get some facts this time on what you are passionate about. So many Christians are lead by faith belief and ignorance. Try changing it on this topic and use some actual facts.

Why are we expecting non-believers to be Christ-Like?
That was just uncalled for
Is it just me or is this year’s Olympics been marred in an unusually high number of controversies?

@@nickjones1314 you get no argument from me.

Just because it’s “cultural” doesn’t make it right. Babylonians had a “culture” that displeased God and had to be punished for it.

Brothers just make sure you have full context before making accusations. You might be surprised its not what you think
Faaaacts.

Just stop it. They may have been doing what you said but, were still mocking Christianity lowkey.

It was not the last supper it was the feast of Dionysus
