‘Satanic symbolism’: Radical Christians abuse pagans after accusing Olympics of committing blasphemy, mocking ‘The Last Supper’ of Jesus Christ

On Friday (26th July), radical Christians abused pagans and their religious practices after accusing the International Olympic Committee (IOC) of hosting a blasphemous rendition of ‘The Last Supper’ during the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics.

For the unversed, ‘The Last Supper’ is an important event in Christianity. It signifies Jesus Christ’s final meal with his 12 apostles before his crucifixion.

Radical Christians claimed IOC hurt religious sentiments by creating a caricature of ‘The Last Supper’ using drag queens, trans and queer characters and resorting to hyper-sexualisation.

“This is crazy. Opening your event by replacing Jesus and the disciples at the The Last Supper with men in drag. There are 2.4 billion Christians on earth and apparently the Olympics wanted to declare loudly to all of them, right out of the gate. Not Welcome,” wrote one Clint Russel.

One radical Christian used the opportunity to abuse pagans and their ‘satanic practices.’

“The Paris Olympics have gone FULL BLOWN. SATANIC. Going so far as to mock the Last Supper of Christ & have a celebration of worship to Baal/Moloch. If this isn’t a sign of the times we are living in… Spiritual warfare FULLY manifesting in the flesh. This isn’t “satanic panic”. This is the REAL DEAL,” tweeted ‘The Patriot Voice.’

“The veil is thinning more and more everyday. Those with eyes to see and ears to hear know exactly what is happening. Jesus is coming back VERY SOON,” he brazened out.

One Collin Rugg claimed, “An apparent child could be seen joining the drag queens during the performance. Instead of bringing people together, the planners of the event apparently wanted to mock the religion of 2.4 billion people.”

Jenna Ellis, who identifies as servant of Jesus Christ, alleged,”In this scene from the Olympic opening ceremony, the famous painting of The Last Supper is recreated, but Jesus is replaced with an obese woman, while queer and trans figures (including a child!) depict her apostles. Overt pagan and satanic symbolism.”

One radical Christian claimed that the event, which supposedly wanted to mock Jesus Christ, was enacted by a 42-year-old Jewish gay man named Thomas Jolly. OpIndia, however, could not independently verify this claim.

A pastor named Michael Clary tweeted, “The opening ceremony of the Olympics making fun of Christ and the Last Supper. Is anyone out there still denying that LGBTQ is a demonic cult?”

Event not based on ‘The Last Supper’

Contrary to the social media claims about the deliberate mockery of ‘The Last Supper’, the official X (formerly Twitter)’ handle of ‘The Olympic Games’ made it clear that the said event was an interpretation of the Greek God Dionysus.

“The interpretation of the Greek God Dionysus makes us aware of the absurdity of violence between human beings,” it informed.

It must be mentioned that Dionysus is known as the ‘God of Wine’ and ecstasy in Greek pagan culture. He was also referred to as ‘Bacchus’ by the Romans. He is also considered the patron of theatre, given that his festivals often involve dramatic performances.

As a god associated with vegetation and growth, he is linked to the cycles of nature. Dionysus remains a powerful symbol in art, literature, and culture and hence it comes as no wonder that He was featured during the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics.

It was a LGBTQ opening ceremony! Designed to appease the rainbow mafia and offend the religious.

France once surrendered to the Nazis, and has now surrendered to the Pro-Israel

Upset bishops and mixed reviews for Paris Olympics ceremony​


The opening had offered "wonderful moments of beauty, joy, rich emotions, and was universally praised," a statement from the French Bishops' Conference said.

"However, this ceremony unfortunately included scenes of derision and mockery of Christianity, which we deeply regret," the bishops said.

While they did not refer to specific scenes, the ceremony featured a segment entitled "Festivity" which began with a group sat at a table, including several drag queens, which was reminiscent of the Last Supper, the final meal Jesus is said to have taken with his apostles.

It was set to music by lesbian activist DJ Barbara Butch.

"We think of all Christians across the continents who were hurt by the excesses and provocation of certain scenes. We hope they understand that the Olympic celebration extends far beyond the ideological biases of a few artists," added the bishops.

The statement was co-signed by the "Holy Games", a sports programme funded by the Catholic church.

Some conservative and far-right politicians in France have also expressed outrage over what they criticised as a "woke" parade, which featured LGBT+ performers and a racially diverse cast.

The four-hour ceremony took place under driving rain, with athletes sailing down a six-kilometre (four-mile) stretch of the river Seine on 85 boats.

Entertainers performed from river-side monuments, the banks and on bridges.

"To all Christians worldwide who watched the opening ceremony and felt insulted by this drag queen parody of the Last Supper, know that it is not France speaking, but a leftist minority prepared for any provocation," far-right politician Marion Marechal wrote on X.

A spokesman for France's far-right National Rally party, Julien Odoul called the ceremony "a ransacking of French culture."

Arch-conservative Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban meanwhile railed against the "weakness and disintegration of the Western world" which he said was illustrated by the opening ceremony.

"Western values were considered for a long-time as universal but are seen as increasingly unacceptable and rejected by many countries in the world," Orban said in Romania.

Show artistic director Thomas Jolly, who is gay, had pledged last week that the ceremony would celebrate "diversity" and "otherness."

Speaking at a press conference on Saturday, he said that his intention had not "been to be subversive or to shock."

"Last night it was about our Republican values of benevolence and inclusion," he told reporters.

"In France, you have the right to love as you like, who you like. In France, you can believe (in religion) or not believe. In France, we have lots of rights," he added.

Reviews of the parade have been mixed.

The quirky and high-kitsch parade which also featured ballet, opera and hard-rock has been broadly hailed in the French media.

Sports newspaper l'Equipe said it had "left memories for a century."

But writing in Britain's The Guardian newspaper, reviewer Arifa Akbar said there were some "thoroughly weird curatorial decisions."

"Paris is known for its taste but this looked like a motley outfit thrown together," she said.

Critic Mike Hale writing in The New York Times said the ceremony felt "bloated" and "worked to diminish the athletes".

Overall it was "quintessentially French: titillating, hermetic, light on humor and heavy on pretense," he wrote.

Around 100,000 spectators watched from stands on the river banks, often at a cost of hundreds, sometimes thousands, of euros.

Although many were thrilled and upbeat despite the rain, others complained that they were left to watch screens and passing boats for most of the time, with the singers and dancers stretched out all along the route.

Around 200,000 people received free tickets to stand at locations along the banks, often with poor visibility, and many headed home early.

Paris organisers and the Internatinal Olympic Committee (IOC) were fulsome in their praise for Jolly's work at a press conference on Saturday.

"Every edition (of the Olympics) brings a stone to the edifice," Christophe Dubi, Olympic Games executive director at the IOC, said. "This has brought a mountain, it's not a small stone."

Chief Paris Games organiser Tony Estanguet hailed the ceremony as "a unique moment" and he stressed the successful work of French security forces.

Around 45,000 police officers, 10,000 soldiers and 22,000 private security guards were on duty.

"There were no security incidents," he said.

These Europeans are truly living the end of an era. They’ll be below Africa in few decades and their only source of revenue will be tourism and cheap labour industry.

Christianity in Europe?

No one in West cares about religion to be honest, its just subcontinent who view everything from a religious POV.
 
Some satanic trash . Russian Olympics was classy , this seems to be for homosexuals , transgender & peadophiles.
 
Compare to the beautiful Qatari World Cup opening ceremony that the BBC refused to show.
 
The 2024 Olympics maybe the single reason that unites Christians among Europe! It's Christians Worldwide United on social media!
