I missed the opening but don’t think I’ll bother to watch it now.

I wouldn't bother. This aside, the choreography failed due to the sheer size of the area in which they used to host the spectacle.

Much of it was crass (from the perspective of an OAP) and the Last Supper travesty was just awful. Celine Dion was wonderful!

Small typo - faltered rather faulted?

This is what happens when we keep 'turning the other cheek', compromising & don't uphold & fight for our values & beliefs!

We have a duty to 'Obey & Keep' God's Word! Hence Mt 6:33, Mt 28:18-20, Mt 6:9-10, Heb 5:8-9, Jn 14:21-24!

'Tolerance is just compromise', & 'keeping silent is consent'! Many wars were fought to preserve & take back our 'freedoms'! We can't now be 'mealy-mouthed', 'virtue signal', & be ignorant of the sacrifice of millions so we can just throw it all down the drain because we became weak & pitiful!

That is COWARDICE, & cowards will go to hell! Rev 21:8

We can't allow ourselves to be swallowed up by our own 'moral malaise' & 'wokeness', to give up & become victims of truly evil people & ideologies!

Self-accusation is from the devil! Repent, change direction & fight for what is good! What is coming is beyond our understanding of what evil truly is!

The West has become weak, in direct proportion to our tolerating evil & false gods, making us 'accomplices' to evil as well!

That is why we are losing power & the will to fight for what we believe in, because we don't believe in anything anymore in a world of 'moral relativism', carefully 'sculpted & crafted' by those on the Left for centuries!

A world of nihilism is being promoted by the media, the education system, Government, effecting & altering the existence & significance of the family & family relationships! Which then negatively impacts society as a whole!

As we lose the Word of God, 'Chaos' once again emerges as we take away the implicit 'rules & laws' that govern not only human society, Mt 28:18-20, but the universe also!

Humanity is heading for disaster unless we stop our 'fall into the abyss' by 'keeping' God's Word, & working together to DECLARE God's Purpose of Creation! Mt 6:33, Gen 1:27-28, Dan 7:27!

Christians must resurrect themselves as in Ezek 37:10, & take back 'our inheritance', the nation God gave to us by obeying Mt 28:18-20, as Joshua did, Josh 1-6, Rev 21:7

That won't happen with the 'lukewarm attitude' & understanding Christians have today! Rev 3:15-17

God needs people with a backbone like David & Gideon's 300!

Everyone else will be 'cast into the outer darkness to wail & gnash their teeth'! Mt 8:10-12, Mt 25:24-30, Rev 21:8

Take it to heart!

I could not read this. So I’m sure I’ll be put in with that lot you mentioned

I wasn’t personally offended but I was gob-smacked that the IOC happily allowed God/Jesus Christ and His followers to be so blatantly mocked.

nor me; clearly motivated enough to write but I wasn't deeply offended. I suppose I am somewhat used to the double standards of the 'woke' when it comes to Christianity.

but I should add, this stuff needs to be called out and doubly so when full of hypocrisy.

And for what purpose? What did all that satanic stuff have to do with elite Sports Competition?
