Religious Neutrality? Olympic Sportsman Banned from Using Christ the Redeemer on Surfboard

Paris 2024 Olympics officials told Brazilian surfer João Chianca, 23, in early July that he must remove a Christ the Redeemer motif from his surfboard.

He is one of the favorites to win a gold medal in Teahupo.

The surfboard allegedly violates "Olympic rules". Article 50 reads: "No type of political, religious or racial demonstration or propaganda shall be permitted in any Olympic venue." The Christ the Redeemer statue is the landmark of Rio de Janeiro. Chianca is from the state of Rio de Janeiro.

Chianca was informed that "the painting is not allowed in the Olympic Games because Christ is a religious figure". He understood that "the [highly politicised] Games have strict rules and [allegedly] focus on total neutrality."

Evil hypocrites.

Article 50 reads: "No type of political, religious or racial demonstration or propaganda shall be permitted in any Olympic venue."

Yet these same officials allowed the mocking of Jesus Christ and His Last Supper by a bunch of transvestites in the opening ceremonies displayed on world-wide TV.

No earthly gold medal is worth denying Christ. That said the Olympic gold medals aren’t even solid gold. The core is made of silver and then gold plated.

A picture of Mohammad on my surfboard would cause all kinds of trouble. But I didn’t qualify this year. LOL

Touche. Anti=Christian blasphemy is not only tolerated but placed front-and-center during the opening ceremonies.

How about: Jesus is history. Kind of like the Olympics are history.

The fake Olympics are only for queer atheists and faith bashers. Too bad I can’t find any of my retirement time to watch their sorry crap

But it’s fine to mock Christ. Judgment is coming.

The instant they die, if they have not repented and accepted Jesus’ offer of eternal life.

I was curious what that thing was. It’s apparently a statue of a bull (just the head) and a deer that was put there for the 1937 World’s Fair. I believe (not completely sure) that it’s in its original position and they just built their stage around it. Still looks strange ...
