I heard a report on this a few days ago and apparently they will have almost zero presence at these games. I think only a dozen are going and they said even a few of those are unlikely to compete.
Let’s honor the painting of a reportedly gay man that respected Jesus and Christianity enough to paint the picture by disrespecting the depiction and painting. Sounds logical.
I guess we see the world and logic different.
I'm a big da Vinci fan and have studied his works for 100's of hours, but he doesn't own the last supper. He visualized an event that occurred and is one of the most important moments in the entire gospel. The event had as much weight to many before the painting.
I am die hard Christian if that’s a thing. I agree with what you are saying about being a safe target in regard to Christians shouldn’t be the ones bitching back but I think a lot people worry (myself included) that Christians are THE target. There is a difference and distinction between the two. There is an obvious culture war between the Christian right and gay alphabet soup mafia. Christians don’t like the evolving culture shift away from Christianity and as it shift away its shifting away away and to the opposite side. I would be remiss if I didn’t add that a lot of Christian’s have created or made the target bigger. I think in the 90s 80-90 percent of people identified as Christian now it’s close to 50%. I don’t think the gospel has changed, but I think Christians have and not for the better which has made the culture shift easier. But I digress, go USA!! 🇺🇸
WFT? They let the US in and how many countries are we currently bombing in the Middle East and for how long?
Do you think if they are “just wanting to exist” they probably would have thought about their performance a little more? I said earlier that Christians sometimes don’t themselves any favors in regard to the target on their backs but it goes both ways, no pun intended. Christians are just as flawed as the next person, straight or gay. But you can play the act “Christ like” one way… but what about the other way? Are they given a pass because they are just acting “Gay like”?
Tell me which country we are illegally invading and committing genocide in?
America pre 1776….
Currently occupying or have forces in Iraq, Lybia, Syria, Still bombing Somalia and Yemen. Illegal embargo’s against Cuba and Venezuela. Do I need to go on there are more? Are you an empire baby that thinks the US has the right to bomb any country it wants because we are America and spreading freedom? How many countries do you think the US military occupies? How many countries do you thiink Russia occupies?
What performance are you talking about? There's no such think as "gay like" just because someone expresses themselves in ways that don't conform with what your religious beliefs are doesn't make those individuals wrong. There's groups of people straight or queer that take that to the extreme but doesn't make them less than.
The offensive/political/religious/slur posts were up for 4 hours before anyone posted back. It can't always just be left there for them to think it's ok.
I am a Christian, may I express myself? No… ahh got it. Just because my expression doesn’t conform to your views doesn’t make me wrong… am I doing this right?
