I won't watch the Olympics. Done.

[mabelpup]

They said it wasn’t intentional, but yet they never do that stuff to Islam…odd

[GulHameed-qu]

As a Muslim I think that was truly a disgrace mocking anyone’s religion is wrong

[xelltvy]

It was France they don’t need to please us!!

[stiles]

He has nothing to talk about. The Opening Ceremony? Really?

[samsecada]

I'm an atheist and I'm sick of people mocking Christianity .

From a Facebook post:

“This was not a depiction of Leonardo DaVinci’s “The Last Supper” (a work of art of paint on canvas, not the God we worship) but Jan Harmensz van Bijlert’s “The Feast of the Gods” (1635); it’s the Olympian gods celebrating the wedding of Thetis and Peleus. The crowned diety at the center is Apollo (NOT Jesus Christ) and Dionysus is the blue guy. It was an accurate representation of French and Greek (where the Olympics is from) culture and depictions of diety’s still worshipped today. Since I haven’t seen any Ethnic Hellenes complaining I’d say the portrayal was accurate and not offensive. As Christians we cannot expect our religious beliefs to be protected and respected if we will not respect and understand the religious beliefs and practices of others. It does not matter that we may not agree with them or see them as sacred, as long as it’s not physically hurting or killing anyone, let them worship how, where or what they may.
Even the apology uses the word “inspired”. Inspired does not mean represented and similarities do not equate to depictions. The scriptures teach us that “all things have their likeness, and all things are made to bear record of Me [Jesus Christ]” (Moses 6:63). It’s literally impossible to not draw parallels from anything when it comes to Christianity. We do not hold a monopoly on truth and light. It’s not always about us. I am so disappointed in the ignorance, prejudice and judgement that I’ve seen from the Christian community over this claiming it to be satanic; that divisiveness is the real work of the adversary.”

I'm boycotting like millions of respectable people.. we've had enough

[Whatsuptoday]

Paris Olympics 2024, worst ever. Boycott visiting Paris for the next Two Decades 💩🇫🇷💩

[rlccdwr]

Men boxing women, simone biles allowed to openly cheat this year, olypics is a shame, and the world should be embarrassed

[jcanderson]

They were not mocking the last supper.
It was a depiction of the Greek god Dionysus.
These two repeating untruths says a lot more about them than it does about the Olympics.

[damianbeard]

The amount of ignorance is astounding!

[Cat]

I’m an atheist, but love America and its freedom of religion. Nobody’s religion, that’s not a cult, should be mocked. Cults should be banned.

[mpkgqhn]

I've never liked France, I've never hesitated to say this.

[a.beatty]

He didnt even watch it!! He has never watched the Olympics. Someone told him to say it. Let him explain it.

[robwenman]

How idiotic, it was clearly not a portrayal of the Last Supper, it's Greek mythology. ( Before Christianity!)

[Elviejo]

Biggest American President disgrace!! 🤡

[jimmsm]

Last time. It had nothing to do with the last supper. MAGA misplaced outrage is laughable.

[alre]

They’re were using Greek mythology in their acts. If you had any education you would know that the Bible has Greek influences

[tedulmer]

Being a convicted felon and sexual predator sure is disgrace...
