Like… I fail to understand how the creators though having drag queens doing a mockery of the last supper was a good idea… In what universe was that acceptable?

    I can understand why you’d fail to understand that, because it isn’t what happened.

    Put your christianity outrage back in the box for now. What you saw was a depiction of the Feast of Dionysus. It was a pagan ritual/festival that occurred regularly in Greece before Jesus was even born. Its represents a feast that various Greek gods were having together.

    Here’s a 17th century painting depicting the Feast of Dionysus with the gods present:

        Dude, the Olympics are Greek. Just because many people are ignorant of other cultures doesn’t mean that we have to be upset.

        Hang on, I’m confused. You saw a performance, assumed it was based on something else, and got offended because it wasn’t the something else, learned it wasn’t something else, rejected the explanation when the actual authors of the performance when they told you it wasn’t the something else, and you are still choosing to be offended claiming its the something else?

        Are you so used to dog whistles you assume everything is a dog whistle? Grow up. Not everything is about you or your religion.
