Olympics, Christianity, the “bacchanal”
Posted on 7/30/24 at 8:39 am
Posted on 7/30/24 at 8:39 am
I’ve got a lot of left leaning people in my facebook feed. All of them buy into the “bacchanal” excuse. Guarantee none of them, before they released the statement, knew how to spell or pronounce the world, let alone knew what it was. That includes the freaks in the picture. I took 5 years of Latin and I didn’t even know what it was (yes I know it was Greek but there’s a lot of overlap in Latin class).
No representation of bacchanal online even remotely resembles it. It was a blatant mock of the Last Supper. The fat chick was wearing a halo, which I don’t think was present in the original Da Vinci, but it was an obvious reference to Jesus.
With 2.4 billion Christians worldwide, what were they actually thinking when they did this? You’re going to choose the largest religion in the world to mock? They may want to take Christianity down or something, I don’t know, but are they not aware that they do not even remotely have the numbers for that?

They are laughing at us, but we should pity them.

Yeah the bacchanal excuse is the new line for libs who support this shite. It is obvious it was made to look like The Last Supper
No one knows what a bacchanal is, so they get to sound superior that we are just dummies who think everything is aimed at Christianity, while up until 2 days ago they didn't know what a bacchanal was either.

Well of course they would.

Dude, being a LSU fan should make you know what this is.
Bacchus bash? Ring a bell?

Honestly, Nola folks might be familiar to an extent. I knew the word for sure, but had to look up exact meaning.

The backlash was more than they expected but the excuse falls flat.

The irony is, Bacchus is the most popular New Orleans "family parade."
Anyway, it's a stupid excuse. And even if we buy it, OK so you opened the Olympics with an orgiastic fertility ritual. Muuuuch better.

The fat Jewish woman posted on her Instagram story (she would later delete it) that it was about mocking the last supper.
I don't know, I assume it was a humiliation ritual, and the director Thomas Jolly's intent, he is also Jewish, was to ritually step on Christians.

It's interesting, Jesus spent a lot time giving the what fer to Pharisees and teachers of the law. Believers who twisted the scriptures to make it say what they wanted it to say. He said very little about non believers.
What they did in the Olympics was insulting, but I wouldn't expect any less from Satan and his minions.

We all do, and it’s just dishonesty, buying into whatever it takes to hide from the truth. Everyone knows it was a jab at the Last Supper, A brief first glance drives that point home. People who live a life of lies though learn to have no problem with just one more lie on top of a mountain of them. After all, it’s just one more.

Gotta make a start. And they did, decades ago, as the very fact of such a thumb-in-the-eye act of such symbolizes.
Read Jonathan Cahn's "The Return of the Gods". This whole Pagan Culture civilizational scenario is well-documented in the historical record. Sobering read, and indicative of the future. I suspect it will be Islam that shuts these sexual deviant folks down. Jesus did it with Truth/Love, but Muhammad isn't a "turn the cheek" 'Prophet' and will go to the sword with zero conscience restraints.

Even if we take the bacchanal story at face value, there are a couple of things that still need to be addressed:
1) Who in the hell decided that including a bacchanal would be an appropriate image for an Olympic opening ceremony? A pagan orgy? Really?!?
2) Why the over-representation of trannies? Good grief! Not only did we have at least 12 of them at the bacchanal table, but a dadgum tranny was selected to accept the torch when it entered Paris. WTH? Does France not have a single solitary athlete of some notoriety to be the person to accept the Olympic torch?
Spare me the excuses. It is obvious to me that the IOC is every bit as corrupt and perverted as One World Government types. Maybe it would be better if the Olympics took a hiatus until the world gets back to some degree of sanity.

I mean dude I knew who Bacchus was, I knew his Roman name (Dionysus) and that he was the god of wine. I marched in Bacchus in 8th grade and stepped in horse shite when I was going to say hey to someone in the crowd. It was this chick I really liked and she saw me step in horse shite before coming up to her.
But I did not know what a bacchanal was. I’m not gonna pretend like I did.
Edit: Even if someone knows what it is (most people don’t), I have a hard time believing anyone would see that and immediately think “oh that’s a bacchanal”. Even the Greek professors at my high school.

The participants in that fiasco have already explained they were playing the roles of the Greek god of wine Dionysus “in a recreation of the famous biblical scene of Jesus Christ and his twelve apostles sharing a last meal before the crucifixion.”
So … the ceremony was a nod to both.
But let’s pretend it was meant to be a wholesome family dinner.
Why the drag?
Why the sleaze?
Why the inclusion of children?
These people are liars.

The guy who created it called it The Last Supper on the Seine.
Aunts on Facebook were so excited to call people homophobes that they just ran with the first excuse they saw.
Will the actual facts matter to them? Nah.
They’ll still ask us why we are offended and such crybabies.

But if you know who bacchus was and the mythology behind him, what a bacchanal is should be pretty easy to figure out with those context clues.

Now there is a fact. It was clear as day when they zoomed out to capture the frame of the last supper what it was.
And I say that as someone who hasn’t stepped foot in a church in 15 years.

Those of us who are paying attention know what they are doing.
We also know the lies they will tell to justify what they are doing. They lie because the truth is not in them. They serve the father of lies and their fate is just as his.
Also turn away from all the ones telling you that Christians should be outraged and should fight back. They too serve the father of lies. The blood of Jesus has already won the war. All you have to do is accept the sacrifice that Jesus paid for your salvation and reject the lies of the world.
Where you store your treasure is where your heart will be. My treasure is stored in the blood of Jesus not in anything this world has to offer.

In the book of Revelation, it says that at the judgement, the "books" will be opened and people will be judged according to their deeds.
I feel sorry for people who have to answer for outright mockery of the judge.
