Alright, let's talk. What would you see done about it? And, more relevant, what do you think Jesus would do?
It's hard to imagine Jesus getting all super offended by this. I imagine He might say something like "You don't have to get all furious on my behalf" or He might say "You hypocrite! Look at your own behavior!"
About the Olympics as a whole, it seems like worldlyness to me: vast sums of money spent on spectacle that benefits a relative few people. I think Christians can let the worldly do their thing without engaging and without getting caught up in controversy that distracts us from the Kingdom of Heaven.
Agreed. Jesus had no patience for people who used religion as a means of personal, political, or economic power. The impression I got about guy I read about is that he'd be a thousand times more cross (pun for you) with America's Evangelicals than he would be with this.
@Bongo_Stryker @conditional_soup The origins on the #Olympics was indeed a pagan ritual as I understand it. Pagans will do as the pagans do.
I didn't hear a peep when there was blatant blasphemy at the #RNC a few weeks ago. That got me absolutely incensed.
There are few things that get me more upset than a " #Christian" misrepresenting #God or using His name for their own ends.
Nothing. Dont watch the olympics, dont give it prestige, dont give it the time of day. They fuck up every time, scandal after scandal.
Why give them the time of day? Let the ioc rot
