I have been seeing outraged Christians on social media, many of them my family and friends who still live in the same town they’ve always lived in down in the Bible Belt.

They are all outraged over the opening ceremony of this year’s Olympics

They claim that the decapitated woman, pale horse rider, and drag-queen “Last Supper” featuring a “demonic” figure, were all a slap in the face of Christians. They are claiming this as another example of how society has fallen and is a sign of the “end times”.

I feel like this old song and dance plays out every couple of years, actually probably every year if not multiple times, but this one is a bit louder than usual since it’s a worldwide event.

Regarding the headless woman, it doesn’t surprise me that most of them don’t know who Marie Antoinette is, I mean we are talking about people who recently cheered for having the Ten Commandments and Bible taught in school, and also continuously pushed for public school defunding.

For any conservatives reading this, she was the last Queen of France (Paris, where the Olympics are taking place, is in France) who allegedly said “Let them eat cake” when told that the peasants had no bread to eat. This response caused her to lose her head when the peasants rose up and killed the monarchy.

An event many U.S. oligarchs are likely sweating over happening again.

Regarding the “pale horse” rider, that was Sequana the Goddess of the Seine River, the river the procession occurred on, and that the horse was running along. It was not an apocalyptic rider from the book of Revelation…not everything in this world revolves around your holy book.

“The drag-queen last supper” was actually representative of a Bacchanalia, a feast with revelry that would honor Dionysus aka Bacchus god of wine, freedom, intoxication, and ecstasy, who was that “demonic” blue figure. Why have something representing all of this? Well, it’s part of Greek mythology and tradition, you know…like the Olympics.

Aren’t you guys all about “conserving tradition”?
