As a lifelong thallasophile I follow a few Facebook groups that focus on topics of interest to 'my kind'....fishing, surfing, diving, boats, etc.
When the broadcast of the Olympics opening ceremony began, bigots, racists and homophobes of the "Christian" persuasion shared their feelings freely.
Citing the opening as examples of Christianity under attack, they felt boycotting was necessary, as well as beating up people they feel are disrespectful of Christianity. They justify that because 'WWMD' (What Would Muslims Do).
Tolerant people, and some of them I assume were fine atheists, responded as people do on the internet.
HE was so concerned HE sent another message to mankind!
Not wanting to offend the Gods of The Halls of Shrewd'm, is HIS message okay where atheist 'meet' or is there a more appropriate pantheon since God seems to single out and take aim at Americans?
Dear Humans,
It’s me, Jesus. I’ve been seeing a lot of rage about the drag queens and LGBTQ+ inclusion at the Olympics opening ceremony and, well, I’ve got a few things to say.
First off, let's get something straight: The scene causing all this fuss CLEARLY isn’t the Last Supper. It’s an ancient Greek Bacchanal. Who do you think the blue guy is? Me? LOL. That’s Dionysus, not me. We’re best buds. He loves being my friend ‘cuz I have an endless supply of wine. I love being his friend ‘cuz man, does that guy know how to party! We go together like peanut butter and jelly.
And that headless woman? That’s Marie Antoinette, who was convicted of treason, conspiracy, and being a financial criminal. Reminds me of Donald.
And that figure on the pale horse? Not Death. It’s Sequana, the Goddess of the Seine, symbolizing the Olympic spirit. She’s not here to start the apocalypse. She’s simply celebrating Paris and the Olympics. Maybe if these bigots had any level of media comprehension, they would know this. But sadly, due to the defunding of education, 54% of Americans read below the equivalent of a sixth-grade level.
Now, about the drag queens. I might be gay but let’s get one thing VERY STRAIGHT: I would have totally eaten with drag queens. I love all my children. Drag queens, LGBTQ+ people, everyone deserves a place at the table. And by the way, even if that tableau WAS the Last Supper (it’s not), it wouldn’t matter. We are all allowed to critique and create art about whatever we want. Art is about expression and inclusion, not exclusion. And if you think the French are not gonna do some art and expression, well then I bet you need to wear a pale around your neck to catch all the drool that falls out of your mouth.
For those clutching their pearls and shouting, “EVERYTHING I DON’T LIKE IS THE DEVIL!!”, it’s time to loosen your grip. Boycott the Olympics if you want. Nobody cares. It’s like you don’t even exist. We don’t think about you at all.
