I guess they know their audience.

This is a thing: people offended by the opening ceremonies of the Olympics in Paris.

This was an intentional choice to mock Christianity and Christians.

It’s disgraceful. And it’s the same kind of bizarre craziness that’s being pushed on children and teenagers across America. We need to turn our eyes back to God and restore common sense.https://t.co/gfVOV29fY0

Offended in the name of God, but not by the spectacle or the profligacy or the neglect of the poor in the obscene expense of the games (which never offends them), but by their ignorance.

.@KamalaHarris, will you condemn this?

America is at a crossroads. There are two very different paths. Craziness vs. common sense. We all know which road the most liberal presidential nominee in history would drive us down. https://t.co/j4TK4qh7UV

Of course. And just to show it's not all the politicians:

OK, everything is not about Trump. The opening ceremony was a disgrace and an over insult to Christians everywhere.

Well, assuming Christians everywhere are as ignorant as this small group of clowns.🤡 

Speaking of which:

God said, "I need a man to test the will and goodness of a free people." so God made Trump.pic.twitter.com/holTKwJ6Cg

Power matters, not people. Power is neat and clean and abstract, and doesn’t require engaging with persons. Power makes me think I’m in charge. People require time and care. Much easier to pursue power.

What the hell are they going to do about it, anyway? It’s France. You don’t like it, turn your TeeVee off. Better yet, get a fucking education.

I told you I don’t suffer fools gladly. That’s not a strength, it’s a weakness.

All over the world, people are enjoying a glorious Olympic Games and the athletes, coaches, and people who made it possible. Except for a handful of American right-wingers holed up in their cyber silos rage-tweeting to each other about blasphemy. Ancient Greece wasn’t Christian.

What would they say if they knew the athletes in the original Olympics were nude? The Olympics don’t really have anything to do with Christianity, and a feast tableau is not always a Eucharist. Try not to be so damned parochial.

This really isn’t complicated. The teachings of Christianity are that we need to take care of each other; not that God’s gonna get you if you don’t show some respect. I’m more offended by the people who want to tell me who is worthy of my concern.
