Imagine if they mocked Islam or Judaism at the ceremony instead...

[chrs_]

I am French and honestly I am ashamed of this ceremony, our culture and our history is being trampled...

[music]

Not gonna lie, that's worst olympic game opening ceremony even if Celine was there.

[malachi-]

Did anybody tell them the Olympics was about sports, not a bunch of perverts?

[emcgzzw]

Is this the opening of the Olympics or the call of Satan?

[Meatriderphobic]

They could’ve at least told us before hand that they were going to hold a satanic ritual today

[jackspring]

9NEWS absolutely terrified of reporting what that opening ceremony was really all about.

[aymaejaz]

This has got to be the worst opening ceremony. How could people even see what was going on. They needed a stadium

[StevenLeeStudios]

None of the moments were memorable, it was horrifying and dispicable. This is what you guys cheer for. We see the agenda on full display

[Ralph-idxg]

You know they didn't watch the ceremony when they forget to mention the best performance of the night.

[terabit.]

We shoukd boycott the Paris Olympics by NOT WATCHING IT !

[EC-gqxx]

How about the mockery of the Last Supper?

[straife]

Seemed extremely insulting to Christians to me.

The mysterious torch guy handed his torch to the French football star Zidane who gave it to the tennis player Nadal and it was eventually passed to the athletes who lit the torch. These commentators who did not know how that "ended" clearly did not watch the ceremony.

아주 통탄합니다. 프랑스에서 어렵게 신앙생활을 하고 있을 친구들에게 위로를 보냅니다.

C'est vraiment déchirant. J'envoie mes condoléances à mes amis en France qui ont des difficultés avec leur foi.

It is truly heartbreaking. I send my condolences to my friends in France who are struggling with their faith.
