    Just saw a report …

    1. The French took down/hid all references to Christianity in promotions (crosses on churches etc)

    2. Allowed a “Drag Queen Parody” of the Last Supper in the opening of the games.

    I will not watch any of it.

    peace to you

    I feel so much less spiritual … I just don’t care which athlete has the best undetectable performance enhancing drugs.

    I'm not watching because I like the X games much better.

    And I'm tired of all the "woke" and transgender stuff. I know the World will be the World, but O don't have to invite it in.

    I’m not watching because I don’t pay for cable TV or streaming anymore.

    I went and found a video of the Opening Ceremony … it was as offensive as reported. Here is wishing France an Olympic financial disaster for their ill-conceived slap in the face towards several billion Christians.

    When ever it gets to looking really grim I'm reminded that, oh so wondrously it actually is "going by the book".

    The Catholic Church does, the Episcopal Church does, the PC USA Church does, the United Methodist Church does. Come on, get with the program :Wink

    I appreciate the comments. I noticed some media outlets are attempting to deny it was a parody of the Last Supper, though the trans person who sat as Jesus and put on the show made it clear it was a mockery of Christianity.

    Will enough people be outraged to actually hurt the bottom line? I don’t know. I was talking with a pastor acquaintance who told me hard seen it and was, therefore, only going to watch the sports he liked.

    Not much of a boycott, imo.

    peace to you

    Just my opinion, the U.S. Olympic teams should have packed their bags and came home.

    And I mean this from the depths of my soul, Thank God for the Primitive Baptists for without them I would be without a church.

    God hates impurity… Sin! For any church, for any government, any organization to blatantly promote sexual depravity is an assault to God.
