Good grief. The guy who CREATED it called it THE LAST SUPPER. Did you even look at it? Do you ever question anything?
The guy literally said in a television interview that the last supper was not his inspiration.
Then he's talking through both sides of his mouth, or you're hearing wrong.
Let me ask you. Be honest. Does it LOOK like the Last Supper?
Did you see the center figure with the crown? Or the long table? Goodness. 
Do you think all these people are making this up? Or do you just buy everything the left spits out, without question?

Christians, Muslims and people from all faiths across the world are deeply bothered by the disgustingly perversion of that opening ceremony. There are even LGBTQ groups who found it disgusting and immoral.
Go ask the Christians in Africa how they feel about that. Go ask the Muslims in Arabia and Asia how they felt about it. Go ask the Christians in Europe, Asia or Oceania how they felt about it.
As disgusting as the last supper blaspheme was, the entire show goes beyond that with the out right worship of depravity and sexual perversion.

WRONG.
Jesus will sit as King over the entire earth from the throne of David in Jerusalem for 1000 years and the godless globalists will burn in hell with the Antichrist, the false prophet and their followers.
Be careful you don't end up down there with them. The time is short.

Respectfully, do you think Mike Johnson is the ONLY person with that reaction? Try BILLIONS. At the least, hundreds of millions.
As Eric said, the creators admitted it was a depiction of the Last Supper, until they started getting flak.
How do you think Muslims would have reacted if there had been an overt parody of Muhammad?

Christ withstood false accusations, lies, a rigged trial, flawed disciples, betrayal, scourging, the piercing of his hands & feet and a spear in his side, death, and emerged victorious over all of it. The reason evil seeks to stamp out those who worship him and their witness is because they know already that they are condemned by their own disbelief, and they fear everything which refuses to affirm them in their sin and evil conduct because they know that they will face death having lived only for self and shall have no hope beyond it. Evil perishes. God does not. So nothing makes them angrier than hearing, "He is risen!"

Yeah, lets not even speak out against sin, perversion and evil at all. Lets pretend its not even happening. That is so what Jesus taught and did.

The cheek was turned when you were stating your innocence against an accusation. It did not refer to the passivity which so many have assumed from reading the English interpretation. To turn your cheek after being struck on the left cheek (the way an accusation was made before the elders at the gate of the city who heard the cases of the people) the accused had two options to take. They could take their right hand and strike the left side of their accuser's cheek and charge them with a false accusation, or they could turn the other cheek, which stated their innocence before God. Turning the other cheek also kept the accuser from making another accusation because to do so they would have to strike with their left hand (forbidden by custom) or the with the back of their right hand (which placed the judgment against them).
Christ was asking his disciples to state their innocence before God. He also told them that if someone asked them to go a mile (a legal request by a Roman soldier for an Israelite to carry their pack) to go two miles. That was not passive either. Going the second mile shamed the Roman soldier and made them responsible for violating their own law.
Witness is not an aggressive action, but an action of compassion. Having received forgiveness and the hope of redemption, the compassionate thing for those who are lost is to offer them forgiveness and redemption. If they reject you then you are to shake the dust off your feet and move on. Offering forgiveness to the any sinner is an act of Christian love and charity and if rejected you don't stay and argue. You move on.
Those who think they can convert another with a threat aren't Christian in their conduct and don't understand grace. Hence the Crusades were what they were, a national projection of power for land and enrichment carried out in the name of the Church. That too is sin.
The reason this is relevant to the discussion is that to mock the "Last Supper" where Christ made the point to his disciples to remember his sacrifice and the grace it represented and to offer it to others is the rejection of the compassion and love it represents. It is in itself and by the nature of what it condemns a hateful action which openly rejects the love and grace of God. Therefore it is an evil act by its nature.

RE: Last Supper parody during Olympic opening ceremonies
Great post, JR.
For those who don't grasp this fully:
The last supper was the moment Jesus told the disciples He was about to die for our sins and handed them the cup and said "This is the New Covenant of my blood which is shed for the sins of many". This is one of the most important and blessed moments in all of history where Jesus revealed how his death was about to change everything forever. The day had come, the hour had come. It was that night he was arrested and he was crucified the following morning.
The only way they could blaspheme even further would have been to put one of those blue haired trannies on a cross at the end. And I suspect that is what we will see next time.
As I said earlier, even if you are not a Christian the disgusting perversion of the entire thing should be incredibly offensive. If its not you have lost all moral consciousness. They have you.

The intent of the Olympics was to put aside differences for athletes from around the world to be able to come together to compete. It was supposed to be a way to maintain some level of peaceful interaction among the international community. Mocking groups of people in the opening ceremony is a flagrant dismissal of everything the games were supposed to represent.
To be fair - this brings up the banning of Russia from the Olympics. It could have been an opportunity to have some thawing with the frayed relations. Obviously it wouldn't solve the Ukraine war but it's good to have open channels and opportunities to lower the temperature with a country that has A LOT of nukes. Also, USSR was obviously worse but I don't recall them ever being banned from the games. USA and USSR have boycotted the Olympics in protest but neither was ever disinvited as far as I'm aware.

It was called the last supper by the "artists" themselves. They openly admitted it.
YES they mixed in some Greek pagan imagery with gays, tyrannies and sexual perversion into it. That's the whole point.
Some of y'all are really clueless.
Aint they though?? It's sad to see people I would think of as intelligent ignoring their own eyes and ears.
