The Truth About the Olympics Opening Ceremony and How to Respond

from The Dispatches · host Left Foot Media

In this episode I explain how and why the Paris Olympics opening ceremony was both a pagan depiction AND a mimicking of one of Christianity’s most sacred events. We explore the facts as they stand, the contradictory claims, the deficient attempts to cast doubt about what happened, and how the depiction of Dionysus only makes the mimicking of the Last Supper all the more subversive. Most importantly, we discuss why sadness and condemnation is an appropriate and loving reaction, and what we can do now to bring light and not heat in response to this display of debasement and hedonism. ✅ Become a $5 Patron at: www.Patreon.com/LeftFootMedia ❤️Leave a one-off tip at: www.ko-fi.com/leftfootmedia
