Look, if the decadent display from the opening ceremony discouraged you and you feel you cannot watch anymore, fine. We have that right. Just do not let people manipulate you, tell you that you are a victim somehow, that people are burning everything to the "f'ing ground", or that your faith needs teeth somehow. As usual when the NAR screams outrage the truth is hardly as outrageous as they are selling you. I am inclined to believe that the people who coordinated this were somehow trying to interpret the Greek god Dyonysus but even if they were not, they were only mocking a da Vinci painting, that has been mocked a million times before today without a whisper of grievance. Even if somehow, we dismiss all of this we are still left with the key verses. The bible does not command us to be outraged against the lost beloved. It just doesn't. Corinthians actually instructs us that we are not even to judge them. All I saw today was a whole lot of judging being carried out by apostate church leaders and politicians, who openly mock God every day through false NAR theology. No mention of the gospel. No mention of God's mercy and grace. Just a collective, "how dare they!" Then we wonder why the world wants nothing to do with God.
