“Dionysus Festival.
So they were into transgenderism and pedophilia too?”
With Dionysus anything goes. I can’t believe we are supposed to feel better that their intent was not to depict The Lords supper but that this represented all inclusion. It is totally sick.
“As “Dionysus Eleutherius (”the liberator”), his wine, music, and ecstatic dance free his followers from self-conscious fear and care, and subvert the oppressive restraints of the powerful.[6] His thyrsus, a fennel-stem sceptre, sometimes wound with ivy and dripping with honey, is both a beneficent wand and a weapon used to destroy those who oppose his cult and the freedoms he represents.[7] Those who partake of his mysteries are believed to become possessed and empowered by the god himself.[8]”
Even some so called pastor is defending it.

I’m a pastor, and I have something to say.
Christians that get online and spew hate toward nonbelievers anger me much more than nonbelievers spewing hate toward my religion.
I have no idea what the table at the Olympics was supposed to represent, as the official statement contradicts the larger opinion. But what I can say is that every single person at that table would have been invited to Jesus’ table. Jesus not only spent His time on earth with sinners, He invited them to the very table everyone assumes the Olympic table represents.
Matthew was a tax collector.
Peter was about to deny Him.
Thomas was about to doubt His resurrection.
Judas was about to betray Him.
Jesus ate with them anyway.
Jesus was with “sinners” all of the time. In fact, it’s one of the reasons the church people hated Him and wanted Him dead.
Please allow this to serve as a reminder that people who are not Christians are not our responsibility to regulate. Jesus gave us an example to follow of welcoming everyone and pointing them toward the love of Jesus. Remember that God’s kindness is meant to lead us to repentance, not the shouting of His angry “followers.”
This doesn’t mean I condone any religion (especially my own) being mocked. In fact, it is wrong. But my heart doesn’t hurt for what they are doing to Jesus. My heart hurts for people that are likely not in a loving relationship with their Creator. Jesus doesn’t need me to shout about sinners sinning. He wants me to shout about the hope and the love they are missing out on.
Before you share an angry post, or shout at people that Jesus died for, think for a while, and ask yourself if He would do the same. To be honest, you already know the answer. He wouldn’t. He didn’t. He died for them just as much as He died for you. Angrily shouting at people that don’t know Jesus is in direct contradiction to the example He gave us on the cross.
Westboro Baptist sandwich signs should anger you much more than this. Jesus flipped tables on people in the temple, not people outside of it.
Remember that.”
Quite a soft limp wrist preacher, jus sayn
This is one reason I think the criticism should be more directed at a bunch of diabolical perverts sending messages to children. It’s grooming, pure and simple. Christians are called to love what is good and hate what is evil. This display was evil.
As an aside, I doubt this is a pastor. I think most pastors know full well that Westboro Baptist Church and their hateful rhetoric is run by a bunch of liberals for the exact purpose of trying to make Christians look hateful. I believe they’re somehow connected to Al Gore.
Another quick hello
Son Jeff has been in hospital since Monday afternoon. (FINALLY) daughter n ex took him. Not fully willingly. If he wouldn’t comply they would call LEO snd adult protective services
They haven’t yet addressed his broken leg. Still addressing life saving issues
Preliminary reports reveal the gall bladder, liver and pancreas are shot.
I’ll be inquiring about being a live liver donor. Depending on complete testing on pancreas that may be moot
I’ll be seeing him tomorrow
Overwhelming task here to shovel out (literally) his messes. So far have made two trips to dumpsters aboutb3 miles away. Hardly made a dent.
Lots to do in kitchen which I couldn’t do because I was making too much noise
Will check in when I can but between the ATT service and overwhelming tasks here I’ll be more away than I like
Today is Rusty’s move date… Hope things go smoothly for her
