@DarkFantacies:
Yeah. I stopped watching after an 1h:30m. I sent my daughter to bed. That opening ceremony was disgusting.
@JoyLethabo8:
The photo on frame 1 is not that of Jesus and Christians. I don’t understand why some Christians take offense in the #OpeningCeremony 🤔
@D3vinchi:
The people who run the world, The ones in darkest corners are consistently putting Christianity down. They take Christ extremely seriously and are taking more and more measures to mock and trivialize the religion. You have to ask Why ? Why go through such lengths for something that isn’t real ? Unless…
@NtiyisoHelmet:
But ppl mustn’t be misled here. These two pictures have got nothing to do with Christianity because none of them have Jesus nor his disciples
@king_damane:
They’d never mock Muhammad people or make ‘art’ that depicts his love for young girls . It’s always Christians that catch strays and sadly , Christians tolerate this nonsense .
