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.
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?
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.
