Harrison Butker's Comments on Olympics Opening Ceremony Goes Viral
Newsweek ^ | Jul 26, 2024 | Kaitlin Lewis

Posted on 07/26/2024 10:24:25 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

Kansas City Chiefs player Harrison Butker criticized a portion of the 2024 Olympics opening ceremony over social media on Friday that appeared to attempt to mimic Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper.

In between the participating countries being presented at the kick-off in Paris, several performances were presented that played off French cultural and history. One of the more controversial performances, however, was one where drag queens and other actors appeared to remake the scene of The Last Supper, which depicts the last meal that Jesus Christ shared with his disciples before he was crucified.

Butker posted a video to his X, formerly Twitter, account of the moment in question Friday evening, along with a Bible verse from Galatians, which says, "God is not mocked." At the time of publishing, the post had over 1 million views.

Butker also posted about the performance to his Instagram story, writing, "This is crazy." The NFL kicker received immense backlash earlier this year after speaking at Benedictine College's commencement on May 11, where he said that a woman's most important role is as a "homemaker" and he referred to Pride Month as an example of "deadly sins."

No, this is not why Russia needs to win.

Russia is just as bad as they’ve ever been. They think North Korea, Communist China, Cuba and Iran are wonderful countries aligned with good and right.

Further if you recall they devised a postwar strategy against us (America) to strategically work within to weaken erode us morally as a people, and they succeeded. At the same time they worked the plan, they also sit back on their high horse and criticize the very decay they helped foment with willing liberals and democrats here.

Just disgusting. They mock Christianity all the time, and we are supposed to take it. But use the wrong pronoun and off with your head. Getting tired of it.

Mock Islam and they’re quite liable to be beheaded, or shot, or knifed, or blown up. Certainly not ignored or forgiven.

I share your pain.

But Jesus warned us that all this would happen. And our Heavenly Father, enthroned upon Justice and Righteousness, is still on His Throne.

The wicked WILL receive their just due.

Meanwhile, we who follow Christ must pull away from satan all of those that we can within our sphere of influence...

FRegards and Blessings!

FYI... 71% of Russians identify as Orthodox Christians. 15% identify as having no religion.
If ignorance is bliss, you must be the happiest man in the world.

Maybe you need to find out more about Russia than what the mainstream media tells you. What about the suicide rate?

And recently Russian efforts to rehabilitate Stalin’s legacy were demonstrated again in occupied Lughansk. The Russians destroyed a monument to the victims of Stalin. The hammer and sickle flags are marching on.

In a judgement published yesterday, the European Court of Human Rights found that Russia violated the right to private and family life of a trans man and his two foster children by terminating the foster care agreement on grounds of the man’s transition.

They danced around a golden calf idol! I wasn’t going to watch a bit of it, but now I’ll go out of my way not to view any part of the decadent celebration of evil.

What I found offensive was the way they trashed a world class library.

All for fun.

Suicide rate in Russia 10.6 per 100,000 people.
Suicide rate in the United States 14.0 per 100,000

Get your facts straight. Your batting 1,000 in your ignorance.

The fake Olympics already went woke and soon men will be winning all the women’s events as they continue to corrupt everything they can think of

He is 100% correct. Good for him.

I note they avoided making fun of muzzies.

Good for Harrison Butker. After his last ‘controversy’ I’m sure he’s braced for the feedback.
