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?

>watches french thing
>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.
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 guess I mean we shouldn’t feel the need to be sensitive to their feelings.
I dunno, I kind of care because I find the things they get butthurt about tend to be quite interesting and worth watching/reading.
In the quoted text there's some psycho fantasizing about forcing everyone to say what he wants them to say. "Every tongue will confess," holy shit. It sounds like some sick fuck who tortures people until they admit to crimes they didn't commit.
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 only there was some kind of book that could guide them.
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.

This was my thought - I should have tuned in.
It’s a good week to be a Gojira fan 🤘
“It’s in our DNA. Some people like to climb cliffs or fly kites… we like to melt faces.” - Joe Duplantier
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.
Almost all religions state that they in fact do let it happen
...when you're a star, they let you do it...
I don't know, he seems to be doing pretty good in sending down assholes who are changing the climate to be non-conducive to life at this point.
Yeah but before science was really established, he was directly involved all the time. Now he's too lazy to do the smiting himself? Seems like there might be a correlation there...
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.
Best part is that it's not the last supper, it's Dyonysos in a banquet. Not only are they assholes, but they're idiots too.
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.
Jesus fucking Christ.
Them critters be smoking the bad herbs
Satan isn't real, so you'll survive looking at something different sometimes
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.
Can we petition to have "mocking a god" as an olympic sport? It will need judging.
At first I thought you said it will need juggling. I thought that would be perfect for mocking god.
Until I saw this I didn’t feel I’d missed anything worth seeing having not watched the Opening Ceremony 😀
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.
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.
I wonder what the etymology of the word Olympics is
Oh yeah? Well two can play at that game. I was absolutely melting down over the horrible "He gets us" commercials. So... There!
Fucking thanks. I just lost the game.
Damnit. Why did you have to do that?
God didn't paint no painting.
That website is utter eye cancer on mobile.
One ad per half-paragraph.
The Olympics are a celebration of the Hellenic Gods. They need Zeus!
I wonder what would have happened had they done the same thing with Islam.
But seriously, I don't think people realise that having a drag queen re-enactment of the last supper, one of the most sacred scenes in the Bible, is simply going to embolden Christians more to push away any form of integration or acceptance with the LGBT community. Like, doing stuff like this is basically asking for a negative pushback.
There have been countless spoofs of that painting in cartoons, commercials, and other popular media for a very long time. Let’s not pretend it’s “sacrilege” the Christians are clutching their pearls at now.
I sympathize with your situation, but why bringing Islam here, did something offensive towards Christianity happen in Qatar's WC ?
What would happen if they did it with Islam? The same mental illness but instead with more violence.
I mean south park had to take an episode down making fun of Islam because of death threats.
I don't seem to recall them having to do it for any of the countless episodes (rightfully) making fun of Christianity. So there's definitely something differnt going on there.
My thing is though if these Almighty gods (or the almighty god depending on who you ask) really didn't like to be made fun of couldn't they just, you know, take care of that?
I mean hey man one fiery head in the sky speaking demands for like, 20 seconds of time is all it would take. Boom. Suddenly everyone is on the same page.
But nah, god is a trickster and wants to make you pass tests for his amusement like a rat in a lab. Difference being the almighty god of course knows the results of the test anyway so really just makes you do it for his own enjoyment.
Religion is a disease. It deserves to be made fun of.
They will take care of it. The Lord laughs at the wicked, for He knows their day is coming.
Also the fiery demands thing won't work, as God was literally leading the Israelites out of Egypt like that, then Moses was like "I'm gonna climb this mountain, don't worship false gods when I'm gone" and guess what they did
Again, I don't know what tests you are talking about - you aren't saved by your works but by a relationship with Christ alone.
If it's okay to make fun of diseases, then you're opening a can of worms here.
