Who knew that the universal language of "diversity" could be so universally misunderstood? The Paris Olympic Committee, in a stroke of what they must have thought was artistic genius, turned the opening ceremonies into a spectacle that redefined unity — by uniting everyone in outrage.
It’s not as if the planning committee just threw the opening ceremony together in a hurried fashion. They planned this for at least a year, or more, so they knew what they were doing. You would think they would have asked themselves: "What if we glorified Satan and mocked Jesus Christ during the opening ceremony, do you think Christians would be offended?" "Do you think showing men with their testicles flapping out could possibly be offensive?" Or "what if we show sexually explicit acts on center stage, do you think it would bother families with children?” How about a scene with Marie Antoinette holding her severed head, this has sports written all over it, what do you think? Either the planners have lost their minds or they are devout followers of the Woke-Demonic Occult that is poisoning our world today.
Thomas Jolly, the artistic maestro behind this “masterpiece”, proudly proclaimed, “We never wanted to be subversive. We wanted to talk about diversity.” Clearly, the memo on diversity somehow got mixed up with the script for a Saturday Night Live skit, because what followed was a scene that enraged billions of Christians and even made the most liberal of liberals do a double-take.
Christians worldwide were left wondering if they were awakened from a bad dream. In a move that could only be described as a divine tragedy, the iconic image of Leonardo Da Vinci’s Last Supper masterpiece was reimagined with Jesus and his disciples dressed in drag, making one wonder if the artistic team had accidentally swapped their brains for punchlines. There were drag queens, there was glitter, there were feathers, demonic symbols, severed heads and there was justifiably an unmistakable air of “what were they thinking?” carried throughout the stadium. It was a bold choice, like deciding to serve dog sh*t as chocolate pudding at your two year old’s birthday party.
Anne Descamps, the Olympics spokesperson trying to play cleanup, issued an apology that was about as effective as a paper teapot. “We believe that this ambition was achieved. If people have taken any offense, we are, of course, really, really sorry.” Ah yes, the old “sorry you feel that way” non-apology — as soothing as a slap in the face with a wet baguette. And let's not forget, this apology only surfaced after a major endorsement company pulled out faster than a cat from a bathtub.
The absurdity reached new heights as organizers claimed they aimed to promote tolerance. Because nothing says “we respect your beliefs” quite like turning a sacred religious scene into a punchline. It seems the goal was to unite the world through shared outrage — a bold strategy indeed. The lesson here? Promoting tolerance by insulting billions was not lost on anyone, except perhaps the organizers themselves. Critics were quick to ask, "Would they ever have dared mock Islam in a similar way?" As one observer noted: “If that was done, France would be in flames right now." Instead, they opted for a safer target, perhaps hoping Christians would turn the other cheek. Spoiler alert: they didn’t.
True tolerance doesn’t require mocking one group to make another feel accepted. It’s a bit like punching someone in the face and calling it a gesture of goodwill. If the Paris committee wanted to promote the “gay Paris” image, there were a million ways to do it that wouldn’t involve turning The Last Supper into the last laugh.
The Olympic opening was supposed to bring people together, and in a way, it did. Christians, atheists, and even a fair number of bewildered LGBTQ enthusiasts all joined forces in a rare moment of global unity, united by the sentiment of “what on earth was that?” It’s not every day you see such a diverse group of people agree on something, so maybe there’s a twisted sort of victory in that.
In the end, the Paris Games have taught us all a valuable lesson about artistic freedom: just because you can doesn’t mean you should. So here’s to the Paris Olympics, setting new records in the 100-meter dash to stupidity and proving once again that sometimes, it takes a monumental misstep to unite the world.
Genesis 50:20 "You meant to hurt me, but God turned your evil into good to save the lives of many people, which is being done."
