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.

In particular, they are losing their shit over a drag queen parody of the Last Supper as well as other "Satanic" motifs:

The opening ceremony of the Olympics is not even hiding the satanic rituals anymore.

There is no longer anything hidden in plain sight.

These are the demonic dark forces of Satan who want to eclipse the light.

You can already see:

  • Skulls
  • Motifs of death
  • Satanic red lighting
  • Children trapped in tunnels

Did anyone notice that the single rider on a pale horse is straight out of the Book of Revelation?

Can't imagine what they'd think about the amount of tits on french TV. Can't even watch breakfast TV without someone showing you a vaj

Do what now?

[-] carl_dungeon@lemmy.world 92 points 3 months ago

The religious right are a bunch of christo fascist assholes, we shouldn’t care what they’re butthurt about.

[-] ratel@mander.xyz 33 points 3 months ago

Why they get so much attention is beyond me; it only expands their platform and ragebaits more people.

[-] XTL@sopuli.xyz 23 points 3 months ago

Sounds like you've got it figured out. It drives engagement, clicks and views.

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 20 points 3 months ago

Well when you put it that way, it makes it sound like profit-driven news media is a bad thing

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.

I dunno, I kind of care because I find the things they get butthurt about tend to be quite interesting and worth watching/reading.

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.

[-] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 28 points 3 months ago

You'd think if their god was so almighty, he would be able to defend himself

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 61 points 3 months ago

Oh no, not skulls! Christians would never use skulls as iconography, for surely that would offend THE LORD their God!

Christians being hypocrites? Hell it’s a requirement of the religion at this point!

This was my thought - I should have tuned in.

[-] zloubida@lemmy.world 54 points 3 months ago

You Moloch worshipping scum

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 was NOT expecting that at all. I was vibing with the ceremony, then suddenly Marie Antoinette. Guillotines. Fucking GOJIRA? Wat?

[-] dishpanman@lemmy.ca 8 points 3 months ago

Best part of the opening ceremony!

[-] RenegadeTwister@lemmy.dbzer0.com 39 points 3 months ago

If god doesn't like it, he can do something about it. He won't though, wuss.

[-] BobGnarley@lemm.ee 8 points 3 months ago

I know right! Sky Daddy also doesn't ever do anything about rape either. At this point we just have to assume they're kind of into it or some shit. Right? I mean, all powerful but doesn't interfere is just a nice way of saying he let it happen.

I genuinely thought it was a pretty good opening ceremony.

The themes were great, especially Marie Antoinette. By far the most inclusive opening ceremony I've seen!

[-] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 30 points 3 months ago

The opening ceremony worked fantastically well at pissing off the people it was meant to piss off. Fuck them and their personal religious beliefs that they're constantly trying to force upon others.

[-] Bianca_0089@lemmy.today 27 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

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.

Not a news story. We already know that Nazis’ brains are toilets.

Jesus fucking Christ.

Until I saw this I didn’t feel I’d missed anything worth seeing having not watched the Opening Ceremony 😀

[-] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 19 points 3 months ago

Can we petition to have "mocking a god" as an olympic sport? It will need judging.

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.

[-] jumjummy@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] Geobloke@lemm.ee 14 points 3 months ago

I wonder what the etymology of the word Olympics is

[-] TheGuyTM3@lemmy.ml 14 points 3 months ago

This is one of the few opening ceremony that i find very interesting and fun to watch. Plus, when i think about it, it convey well the motto of France: Liberty, Equality, Fraternity. A good trolling for the anti-woke imo.

[-] VerdantSporeSeasoning@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 months ago

Oh yeah? Well two can play at that game. I was absolutely melting down over the horrible "He gets us" commercials. So... There!
