Mocking Christianity…….

By now every one of the 2.8 billion Christians on the face of the earth have had an opportunity to see the opening ceremony of the Olympics which is, this year, located in Paris, France. Of note, Jill Biden, a representative of America, has publicly said she thought the opening was fabulous, setting a standard for ceremonies in the future. Jill is a master of illusion, as evidenced by her wrapping her husband in a cloak of respectability. Soon enough, she’ll have an opportunity to explain to the Master how it is that a drag queen caricature of the Lord’s last supper is worthy of such praise.

John Adams, regarded as the father of the Constitution flatly rejected the notion that religion in America should be tolerated, rather a free exercise of one’s faith irrespective of the religion chosen. Adams wrote that, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people”. Jefferson plainly opposed an infringement on another’s choice of worship or non-worship, believing in the literal interpretation of the First Amendment. He stated that “neither Pagan nor Muslim nor Jew ought to be excluded in the civil rights of the commonwealth”. Adams and Jefferson were understandably concerned with loss of character.

I think it unwise to challenge the authority of the Christian God. I suggest that if the idiots in the caricature were demeaning of the Muslim faith, there would have been a riot on the streets of Paris. In today’s world it has become fashionable to cast the Christian Faith in a bad light. Our forefathers would likely have frowned on the notion that America was not founded on Christian principle, a faith undeserving of the ridiculous parody in the opening ceremony.

Here is the deal. You can worship or paganize whatever entity you choose, but do not slander my faith. Our faith, all 2.8 billion of us, find this parody to be reprehensible. Various heads of Christian denominations have also universally condemned this display of disrespect. This year’s Olympics is dead to me and I add my condemnation to those who see humor or entertainment in this blatant affront to our faith. You may rest assured the Lord has a long memory and eternity is a long time. Jill Biden does not represent me when she praises such a demonstration. Her praise of this caricature is indicative of the casual discard of the Christian Faith.

Have a good week.
