>gets mad when it's subversive and weird
???
It's like getting mad at Italians for talking with their hands too much
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?
The religious right are a bunch of christo fascist assholes, we shouldn’t care what they’re butthurt about.
Why they get so much attention is beyond me; it only expands their platform and ragebaits more people.
Sounds like you've got it figured out. It drives engagement, clicks and views.
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.
You'd think if their god was so almighty, he would be able to defend himself
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.
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!
“If the Olympics are going Satanic and mocking god, they might actually be worth watching this year,” chimed in @ericlahti1.
This was my thought - I should have tuned in.
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.
It’s a good week to be a Gojira fan 🤘

I was NOT expecting that at all. I was vibing with the ceremony, then suddenly Marie Antoinette. Guillotines. Fucking GOJIRA? Wat?
Best part of the opening ceremony!
If god doesn't like it, he can do something about it. He won't though, wuss.
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!
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.
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.
I think God can take it.
aren't you about half a century too late for satanic panic shit
It never went away in certain quarters.
Not a news story. We already know that Nazis’ brains are toilets.
Satan isn't real, so you'll survive looking at something different sometimes
Jesus fucking Christ.
Them critters be smoking the bad herbs
Until I saw this I didn’t feel I’d missed anything worth seeing having not watched the Opening Ceremony 😀
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.
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.
I wonder what the etymology of the word Olympics is
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.
Oh yeah? Well two can play at that game. I was absolutely melting down over the horrible "He gets us" commercials. So... There!
God didn't paint no painting.
