Don't Help

I'm going to say this point blank and out loud: the Olympic organizers fully intended to mock Christianity, and their apology wasn't even half hearted. They went too far yet won't accept their fault. Full stop.

Shame on them for all sorts of reasons, not the least because such ham fisted distractions take away from the celebration of the athletes and their accomplishments. The ceremonies openly mocked Christianity. I will not watch the Games merely because I cannot support that, and there's no other recourse than a boycott.

Don't defend them: this was not Dionysius or Greek bacchanalia. It was so pitifully obvious of an insult that there can be no reasonable denial, no rational defense. Don't even try. And I haven't even mentioned the sick display of a headless Marie Antoinette.

Rant over.
