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?

>watches french thing
>gets mad when it’s subversive and weird
???It’s like getting mad at Italians for talking with their hands too much
Can’t imagine what they’d think about the amount of tits on french TV. Can’t even watch breakfast TV without someone showing you a vaj
Do what now?
The religious right are a bunch of christo fascist assholes, we shouldn’t care what they’re butthurt about.
Why they get so much attention is beyond me; it only expands their platform and ragebaits more people.
Sounds like you’ve got it figured out. It drives engagement, clicks and views.
Well when you put it that way, it makes it sound like profit-driven news media is a bad thing
The uncomfortable truth is that that is what matters now. I wish equal attention was given to all aspects of the political spectrum but I guess it would end up in the same situation eventually because people love to feel outraged.
We absolutely should a) because they have a nasty habit of trying to make their displeasure everyone elses problem and b) because watching their conniptions when noone takes them seriously is fun.
I guess I mean we shouldn’t feel the need to be sensitive to their feelings.
I dunno, I kind of care because I find the things they get butthurt about tend to be quite interesting and worth watching/reading.
In the quoted text there’s some psycho fantasizing about forcing everyone to say what he wants them to say. “Every tongue will confess,” holy shit. It sounds like some sick fuck who tortures people until they admit to crimes they didn’t commit.
You know, this is the kind of stuff the Bible meant when it said taking the lord’s name in vain. Screaming “God God” when it’s really just you being an ass.
You’d think if their god was so almighty, he would be able to defend himself
Taking the Lord’s name in vain is about using God’s name as a vanity. American Christians are idiots who never question or investigate that phrase so they believe any unauthorized use of God is sin. They are also hypocritically unopposed to using God’s name casually.
“If the Olympics are going Satanic and mocking god, they might actually be worth watching this year,” chimed in @ericlahti1.
This was my thought - I should have tuned in.
Oh no, not skulls! Christians would never use skulls as iconography, for surely that would offend THE LORD their God!
Christians being hypocrites? Hell it’s a requirement of the religion at this point!
If only there was some kind of book that could guide them.
You Moloch worshipping scum
Moloch was for Jesus a symbol of wealth. Pretty sure these pseudo-Christians worship Moloch far more than any artist, trans or not, who performed during these ceremonies.
It’s a good week to be a Gojira fan 🤘

I was NOT expecting that at all. I was vibing with the ceremony, then suddenly Marie Antoinette. Guillotines. Fucking GOJIRA? Wat?
Best part of the opening ceremony!

I know right! Sky Daddy also doesn’t ever do anything about rape either. At this point we just have to assume they’re kind of into it or some shit. Right? I mean, all powerful but doesn’t interfere is just a nice way of saying he let it happen.
Almost all religions state that they in fact do let it happen
…when you’re a star, they let you do it…
I don’t know, he seems to be doing pretty good in sending down assholes who are changing the climate to be non-conducive to life at this point.

I genuinely thought it was a pretty good opening ceremony.
The themes were great, especially Marie Antoinette. By far the most inclusive opening ceremony I’ve seen!
The opening ceremony worked fantastically well at pissing off the people it was meant to piss off. Fuck them and their personal religious beliefs that they’re constantly trying to force upon others.
It’s fun to watch all the horrible religious missionary type people and tongue-amputators outing themselves like flies to a honeypot.
People be trying sooo hard to sound like Gul Darheel the Butcher, ‘scum’ this ‘i’ll make you bow’ that, lol!
Alsoooooooo. . People depict the last supper all the time. This isn’t pakistan - there’s no death sentence for imitation.
Unless you wanna go around lynching and yellow-badge-registrar’ing every four year old child who ever copycatted a religious painting in badly scribbled crayon.
Best part is that it’s not the last supper, it’s Dyonysos in a banquet. Not only are they assholes, but they’re idiots too.
I think God can take it.
Not a news story. We already know that Nazis’ brains are toilets.
Satan isn’t real, so you’ll survive looking at something different sometimes
Jesus fucking Christ.
Them critters be smoking the bad herbs
