I think it's time for your next-level education on Tuz history.

I introduce to you... the Tuz legend, Finni Longnuts

And hence the Tuz legend that is Finni.



The problem here is you're implying that Christians worship a Jesus selfie painted by a gay artist some 1400 years after the religious event, fakely arranged with all the apostles on one side of the table.

Worshipping idols is a sin against the second commandment.

There's no commandment about gays. There is a commandment about false idolatry.

That and Islam doesn't have a centuries-long history of institutionally normalizing the persecution, pogroms, and murders of French queers. But there's always hope for the future I suppose.
Yeah its also my mistake, I got raised with the idea of being responsible for your own actions. Apparently you can blame your clothes now if youre woke

I love how all the Christians are so butthurt over the ceremony. By the way that ceremony was waaaaaaay more real that the “Last Supper” garbage that never, ever happened.
The hilarious part are all the pearl-clutching Christians who say God is being mocked and that they're being discriminated against. As if a Church that did everything in its power to persecute queers, deny their right to exist, and enable their social hatred and murder for centuries pales in comparison.
:lol3:

Libs will cry about how they're so hard-done-by, emphasise the need for love tolerance, inclusion & respect. Unless of course its people they don't agree with. Practice what you preach.

Also wild to justify present-day mockery and bigotry towards 2.8 billion people based on the actions of an organisation in the past. Not to mention that criticising Church and criticising Christianity are two separate things.

Are you blaming the Greeks because 2.8 billion people cannot tell the difference between the feast of Dionysus and a blue Jesus covered in food though?

The fact that there is even a discussion in opening ceremony shows that it was garbage. Olympics are for everyone and should be free of any propaganda. I watched it with my parents and they were completely disgusted and it had nothing to do with religion

Again, people forget this is what France does. Their last opening ceremony in 1992:

First of all, is the chubby naked blue guy covered with food supposed to be Christ?

I went to 15 years of Catholic school. I got none of that vibe.

And the Last Supper is a Jesus selfie painting by a gay artist that's been part of the cultural vernacular from The Simpsons to the Sopranos. It's not a religious artifact.

They apologized, it was the last supper
They were saying sorry in general terms, but the intention, mixed inspiration of of the whole thing is explained by director and art historians:

It's general art history inspired and Greek mythology inspired (people forget easily Olympics is from ancient Greece). Art history part includes the last supper (its not a piece from the bible, but a literal art masterpiece), with some of the poses, but the main painting the director explains was taking from is of Greek God's, their feast of debauchery. This not common knowledge hence the silly exaggerated reactions.



Things aren't allways as simple as we make them to be. Even if that's easier for people. And it event openings are generally shit and boring. Avoided the whole thing. It's kinda baffling it leads to weirdo outrages like this.

Of course. Regardless of the Last Supper scene, it was still a terrible opening ceremony. Like some dytopian crap you'd expect out of the Hunger Games. For a decorated country like France with all its history and culture, you'd expect a better showcasing than that. If I were French I'd be pissed.

This doesn't even hold a candle to Greece 2004 and London 2012.

France likes edgy, as in my 1992 clip. They find pablum for the masses boring, unexciting, and wholly unoriginal. Anything lacking risk of offense is too neutered to be of any value.

That truly is the French way. A Paris has a tradition ... from the Eiffel Tower, which people hated at first, to the inside-out Pompidou to today.
