Christians are offended by the Olympics.
Quote:Olympics opening ceremony sparks outrage with drag queens parodying Last Supper: 'Gone completely woke'
One new display on Friday showed what appear to be numerous performers, including drag queens and a large woman in an aureole halo crown, parodying "The Last Supper," a universally recognizable painting by renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci of Christ and his apostles.
Many internationally known political figures, particularly from American politics, condemned the display as a sign of the cultural rot in Western Civilization.
"Men in wigs front & center at the Olympic Games," OutKick's Riley Gaines wrote in a social media post. "No one ever tell me this group is ‘oppressed’ or ‘marginalized’ again."
Tesla founder Elon Musk who bought the X platform criticized the display, saying, "This was extremely disrespectful to Christians."
Harrison Butker, an NFL football player who made headlines with his speech about Catholic faith quoted scripture to condemn the display, writing, "Be not deceived, God is not mocked. For what things a man shall sow, those also shall he reap. For he that soweth in his flesh, of the flesh also shall reap corruption. But he that soweth in the spirit, of the spirit shall reap life everlasting.’ Galatians 6:7-8."
"This is crazy. Opening your event by replacing Jesus and the disciples at the The Last Supper with men in drag," radio host Clint Russell said. "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."

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
