The Olympic Last Supper debacle

 

I haven't had much to say about the depraved, debased mockery of the famous "Last Supper" image at the Olympics opening ceremony last weekend, largely because I was expecting something like it.  The overwhelming mood in much of Europe, particularly among the self-selected "intelligentsia", is anti-Christian.  Of course they were going to mock what so many of us believe!

I may not agree with Arthur Sido all the time, but I think he summed up the brouhaha very well.

It is just another example of cultural vandalism by degenerate toddlers that are controlled by their genitalia.

Causing outrage was the entire point. Why else would you do that? There was nothing artistic about it, it was simply performative degeneracy intended to cause a backlash. The backlash reaffirms to these freaks that they are on “the right side of history” and probably at some deep level serves as a way to get back at their parents for not buying them a pony for their 7th birthday.

What it did accomplish was to get a bunch of people upset and serve as clickbait for normie “news” sites to drive traffic for the latest outrage du jour. Places like Fox News and Newsmax love stuff like this because it drives traffic numbers way up.

So what good does it do to get all upset and frothing at the mouth? Not a damn thing. That is exactly what They want you to do, chasing after the latest stick of outrage until you get tired and then they throw a different stick in a different direction. It is the same thing I tell people when I say Quit Chasing The Stick. The Left throws out charges of “racism” and normies go chasing after the stick to prove that they are in fact not “racist”. They bring back the stick and say “See, I am not racist!” at which point the Left throws the stick again and there they go chasing after it.

The same basic thing happens with cultural vandalism ... There is nothing wrong with pointing it out and then of course mocking it but to get upset about it is doing what They want. Nothing good will ever come from you doing what They want.

It ought not be a surprise that people that not only don’t believe in the [tenets] of Christianity and in fact hate it would therefore mock and revile it. In fact if people would occasionally read their Bibles they would know that an absence of mockery and hatred of your faith ought to be considered a sign you are doing something wrong. Don’t give them the outrage they crave. Mock them and then move on. They crave your vitriol but your scorn is a far more effective weapon.

There's more at the link.

Speaking of scorn . . . if we're offended by that opening ceremony (and "offended" should be a very tame description of our reaction if we truly believe in Christ), then why are we watching a single moment of the Olympic Games?  The Games rely on spectators, both live and on TV, for their financial success.  One or two of us boycotting them won't even be noticed;  but a few hundred million of us around the globe?  Now, that would get their attention!
