Hail apollo, hail the immortal gods

*John 14:6* Jesus proclaimed _'"I am the way, and the truth, and the life. _*_No one_*_ comes to the Father except through me"_ There are no options on the route to eternal life-there is only one way, and Jesus is that way.

thousands of god even before the abrahamic one and you still think your god is the one bahaha

[@francescaetc]

@@beanerbon OMG look at your name. Okay Satan 🤡👹

[@mycroft16]

And this has what exactly to do with lighting the Olympic flame?! Are you people capable of keeping your religion out of anything? Believe what you want but holy God stop shoving it in everyones' faces at every single chance. And I say this as a Christian.

[@francescaetc]

@@mycroft16 LOL *"YOU* People? whadda ya *_mean_* you people?!" Are _YOU_ people capable of leaving _YOUR_ religion out of anything?

[@mycroft16]

@francescaetc no I said that so you would know I'm not some anti Christian hater. But way to take offense there. Even Jesus condemned people who prayed loudly in the streets for praise and notice, showing off their faith. That's all you're doing. Instead, pray privately was His advice. So, from a fellow member of the faith... just stop parading your Christianity around. The example of your life is what Christ said would draw others to the faith, not your displays of prayer or scripture.

Embarrassing.

[@mycroft16]

Why exactly are you embarrassed by this? It is a beautiful ceremony literally going back millennia honoring the original Olympic games and the symbolism of the Olympic flame.
