    Out of my realm, I know very little Quran and the Muslim faith.

    I don't make assumptions about what you are trying to say or not say.

    Like I said, tying yourself in increasingly absurd knots because you can't admit you were wrong.

    The painting I presented resembles the performance and the explanation makes more sense than anything you have said.

    Facts don't care about your feelings, but sadly your feelings will never accept the facts.

    I was unaware that there are folks who portray themselves as indignant, self-righteous Christians who envision Jesus as being fat and blue.

    ... the opening ceremony’s artistic director, Thomas Jolly, has insisted that the scene is not a reference at all to the Last Supper.

    Rather, the performance is a nod to a pagan celebration featuring Dionysus, the Greek god of fertility, wine and revelry.

    Portrayed at the Olympics by French singer and actor Philippe Katerine, Dionysus – known to the Romans as Bacchus – has a close tie to France: In Greek mythology, he is the father of Sequana, the Goddess of the River Seine.

    This is rather like the self-styled Christians who see images of Jesus in bagels and wall stains.

    He is not normally depicted as being fat and blue.

    Yes. It is actually.

    It's the game you play to live out your alt reality necessary to prescribe to your liberal ideology.

    You said:

    The problem is, you live in this political reality where you have to defend and save the Muslims, so denying the statistics is the game played.

    That's why you have to ask questions using "every muslim"... it's a logical fallacy that prevents you from reality because reality doesn't align with your ideology.

    Telling a minority group to stop shoving their agenda down my throat is "hating"?

    Yet this same group throws a tissy at the mere idea that Christians post something on school property.

    The left us always super inclusive and tolerant when it comes to some minority group, but never for the majority.

    I literally can't do ANYTHING or go anywhere we're the LGBTQ community needs to make sure they exist.

    Stop bending over and enabling the few attention whores and pretending to yourself that you somehow advanced or progressed society.

    So you can easily answer no. And you did see the comment that prompted that question, right?

    Here are some facts to refute your position.
    https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/...terror-attack-australia-wieambilla-rcna128282
    An American man has been charged with inciting a “religiously motivated terrorist attack” that killed six people in Australia a year ago, officials said Wednesday.

    You simply can't accept the fact that terrorism is overwhelmingly perpetuated by Muslim extremists. That western progressive ideology showcased in the Olympic Opening Ceremonies would likely be met with violence by many of these people.

    I'm really sorry your ideology forces you to walk this tight rope of alt reality to make it all make sense. Maybe that should be an indicator that your progressive values have inherent conflict and demand applying ideological fantasies and maybe that's not the best perspective to have.

    You can’t accept that treating all Muslims like terrorists is bigoted and wrong, and that’s what I was responding to,

    Yes I do. How about you try it?

    Nobody objecting to this has even tried to explain exactly how or why the intent of this part of the Olympic opening ceremony was intended to mock Jesus and/or Christians. All I've seen is emotive rhetoric about some of performers being in drag, partially dressed or (without any specific basis) homosexual. Would you like to have a go at explaining the problem with more rational focus and meaning?

    Right. Seems like a lot of gaslighting. Oh and some people are gullible as f**k.

    No, no it really doesn't. Or I should say, it looks much closer to the last supper than this piece. And it's not particularly close.

    Please. The halo effect around Jesus head is common Christian iconography.

    Christians have been too tolerant for a long time. Buddhists would be more outraged than Christians are over this. If this was Islam, every church in France would be set on fire like Notre Dame.
