Fringe religious conservatives melted down Friday night over the opening ceremonies of the Paris Olympics, decrying the spectacle as “Satantic.”
The phase “mocking god” trended on social media following the opening ceremonies, which included drag performers and a singing — beheaded — Marie Antoinette.
“BOYCOTT THE OLYMPICS” wrote @online_shogun along with a short clip showing drag queens in colorful costumes at the ceremony. “This filth is a slap in the face of all Christians. I reject this from every fiber of my being. You Moloch worshipping scum, you are mocking God, and for this you will be punished. As long as faithful people are here to reject f–otry and blasphemy, God.”
The post quickly gained traction, along with others.
“One day every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. One day every knee will bow. Mocking God is the height of foolishness,” wrote @TJMoe28.
“My opinion and I’m entiltled to it! Mocking God, never ever ends well… ILY” wrote @Wonderwpatriot7.

“If the Olympics are going Satanic and mocking god, they might actually be worth watching this year,” chimed in @ericlahti1.
In particular, they are losing their shit over a drag queen parody of the Last Supper as well as other “Satanic” motifs:
The opening ceremony of the Olympics is not even hiding the satanic rituals anymore.
There is no longer anything hidden in plain sight.
These are the demonic dark forces of Satan who want to eclipse the light.
You can already see:
- Skulls
- Motifs of death
- Satanic red lighting
- Children trapped in tunnels
Did anyone notice that the single rider on a pale horse is straight out of the Book of Revelation?

???It’s like getting mad at Italians for talking with their hands too much
Oh no, not skulls! Christians would never use skulls as iconography, for surely that would offend THE LORD their God!
The religious right are a bunch of christo fascist assholes, we shouldn’t care what they’re butthurt about.
We absolutely should a) because they have a nasty habit of trying to make their displeasure everyone elses problem and b) because watching their conniptions when noone takes them seriously is fun.
I guess I mean we shouldn’t feel the need to be sensitive to their feelings.
Why they get so much attention is beyond me; it only expands their platform and ragebaits more people.
Sounds like you’ve got it figured out. It drives engagement, clicks and views.
You know, this is the kind of stuff the Bible meant when it said taking the lord’s name in vain. Screaming “God God” when it’s really just you being an ass.
You’d think if their god was so almighty, he would be able to defend himself
Taking the Lord’s name in vain is about using God’s name as a vanity. American Christians are idiots who never question or investigate that phrase so they believe any unauthorized use of God is sin. They are also hypocritically unopposed to using God’s name casually.
The opening ceremony worked fantastically well at pissing off the people it was meant to piss off. Fuck them and their personal religious beliefs that they’re constantly trying to force upon others.
