Fringe religious conservatives melted down Friday night over the opening ceremonies of the Paris Olympics, decrying the spectacle as “Satantic.”

The phase “mocking god” trended on social media following the opening ceremonies, which included drag performers and a singing — beheaded — Marie Antoinette.

“BOYCOTT THE OLYMPICS” wrote @online_shogun along with a short clip showing drag queens in colorful costumes at the ceremony. “This filth is a slap in the face of all Christians. I reject this from every fiber of my being. You Moloch worshipping scum, you are mocking God, and for this you will be punished. As long as faithful people are here to reject f–otry and blasphemy, God.”

The post quickly gained traction, along with others.

“One day every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. One day every knee will bow. Mocking God is the height of foolishness,” wrote @TJMoe28.

“My opinion and I’m entiltled to it! Mocking God, never ever ends well… ILY” wrote @Wonderwpatriot7.

“If the Olympics are going Satanic and mocking god, they might actually be worth watching this year,” chimed in @ericlahti1.

In particular, they are losing their shit over a drag queen parody of the Last Supper as well as other “Satanic” motifs:

The opening ceremony of the Olympics is not even hiding the satanic rituals anymore.

There is no longer anything hidden in plain sight.

These are the demonic dark forces of Satan who want to eclipse the light.

You can already see:

  • Skulls
  • Motifs of death
  • Satanic red lighting
  • Children trapped in tunnels

Did anyone notice that the single rider on a pale horse is straight out of the Book of Revelation?

    People probably won’t make a stink about it as much if it’s not shoved in their face on global television. It would be kind of odd for someone to deliberately pursue it just to make a stink about it.

        Honestly, I didn’t enjoy it until I heard it made so many bigots mad. I much preferred China’s in Beijing this last time.

      I always find it entertaining when people, voluntarily watching a televized thing, where not watching it is a click of a button away, call it being “Shoved in their faces”.

      This is always coming from the same people who send out people to literally bug me at my own home about how I’m going to burn in hell forever or something.

      “Hell” as broadly believed, isn’t ever actually described as threatened in the Bible. The popular version came from Dante… WHICH WAS A STORY.

        Hell is mentioned plenty of times in the Bible, even by Jesus Himself
