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?

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.
Generally stuff like this commonly gets a backlash, but basically everyone I know of was watching the opening ceremony as many do every year, so obviously people are going to notice when you mock Christianity on a global scale when everyone is watching
Spoofs of The Last Supper
This is not new. So again I say, let’s not pretend it’s “sacrilege” that’s actually the offense here.
You’re assuming that these spoofs aren’t already offensive
You’re assuming we should care about offending followers of a religion that preaches bigotry and denying reality.
Then why should we care about offending those who not only deny the true reality, but are constantly attacking us for our beliefs, wanting us to change our message to fit their worldview and their morality which is subjective and push for previously unthinkable things to become more and more acceptable every decade?
If we truly hated you, we wouldn’t be telling you about Who we believe is the way to eternal life. We’d keep it as a secret to ourselves so you can suffer for eternity.
Please grow up and become a bit more introspective.
The reason you guys always try to proselytize because it earns you points to get into the exclusive sky club. I was once a true believer, and I realized that everyone was out for their own satisfaction and superiority over others who are not in the in club.
It’s your own personal beliefs, don’t try and make anyone else’s. If you truly are a Christian, be more Christian-like.
Christians have caused incredible amounts of damage, in so many awful ways, which always gets the no-true-Scotsman defense. It seems to happen so very often, maybe it’s time to look at why.
“True Reality”… this is a phrase. I’ll tend to see with people who see the world in black-and-white. Like there is only one way to do everything in the world.
I’m not assuming anything. I’m pointing out no one’s made this big of a stink about spoofing this painting before. It’s blatant hypocrisy.
People probably won’t make a stink about it as much if it’s not shoved in their face on global television. It would be kind of odd for someone to deliberately pursue it just to make a stink about it.
Best. Opening. Ceremony. Ever.
