The director of the blasphemous mockery of a historical story is Jewish, so hates Jesus Christ and doesn't believe He's the messiah, much less the only begotten son of G_D. The babylonian Talmud which is the ancient spoken tradition Jews follow, calls Jesus nothing more than a magician, born to a whore for a mother called Mary to a roman soldier, and is rotting in pigs swill in hell and that anyone (Christians) who prays to our Lord and Saviour are worshipping someone with as much reverence as a brick.....and that's the polite description in the satanic Talmud, youtube would censor the exact details so I'll not bother.

Did it ever occur to you that one of the most egregious sins that is an abomination before G_D, is that of lying down with one's own gender, so to recreate the SINLESS MAN, only begotten son of G_D that no one comes to the Father but through Him, is utterly trouncing all over Christian teachings to save our souls and join our Father in the heavenly realms which is effectively ridiculing every Christian who lives in hope of being saved, is mocking each and every individual who sacrificed their lives from the crucifixion onwards including the 12 disciples who all died violent and terrible deaths in defence of their saviours teachings, mocking kings and queens and soldiers who fought and died to preserve their Christian nations, is mocking every pope, every nun, every priest, every church goer, every secret Christian in communist Godless countries such as China where it's illegal to posses a Bible much less practice Christianity and hundreds of brave nationals have disappeared and been tortured for the crime of smuggling BIBLES, YES BIBLES into China. And if your suggesting Christians are not Christians because they continue to sin, that tells me you know nothing about being saved through FAITH alone , NOT WORKS, as the very nature of our sinful flesh makes it impossible to be sinless, which is all the more reason we desperately need saving as we cannot save ourselves, and why Jesus paid the ultimate price for our sins, so to claim we aren't Christians bcz we still commit sins, some worse than others, is yet again trashing on the very teachings of Christianity as Christians don't make claim never to sin again, we commit to trying our hardest not to and to repent when we do asking Jesus for forgiveness.

Whether it was Dionysius or the Last Supper, it was disgusting.

[@BoereViking]

By Johnathan Dwayne of Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 For all those who suggest that those of us who protested the spectacle of the Olympics last Friday are not educated: Da Vinci's "The Last Supper" was finished in 1498. Van Bijlert's "Festin des Dieux" was painted in 1635, as a paganization of Da Vinci's already famous work, since that feast of Dionysus was usually illustrated in forests and fields, according to Greco-Latin literature, but as an act of rebellion to the numerous religious commissions, they took the image of the table, changed the appearance of the central figure to make it look like Christ and 'expanded' the concept of the Holy Supper to a pagan polytheistic one. This was done in countless works (e.g. Balen's Feast of the Gods and Jan 1615), all as a mockery, correction, substitution or even cancellation of biblical messages. I live from and I have been in the art world all my life (those from the Esc Luccetti or fellow Art students at the Universidad del Sagrado can confirm this fact). I am very educated in this field and have done fourteen exhibitions and participated in more than 25 collective exhibitions in and outside of PR (winner of the UNESCO prize, as outstanding painter, 1996). My favorite period was the Renaissance. Believe me, I know a little of what I am talking about. On the other hand, When one does or participates in a multitudinous and even global event, one makes sure that each idea is safe and will not provoke, unless that is the intention. My career as a singer is proof of this, as I have known how to create controversies over 40 years. This event was planned and planned for years, there are no accidents here. It is not that I know everything, but at least I know what I am talking about. They took biblical images, known to the world, and distorted them, as painters like Van Bijlert did, but this time, to then play the innocent. Dionysus? Sure, but at a table surrounded by several people in a very familiar pose. Horseman of the apocalypse? No, it's a Greek goddess, spirit of the Olympics and so on. I'm surprised they didn't use a manger with a baby and a woman next to it, saying later that it was Aphrodite and her son Cupid.
