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?

    Well, it’s completely acceptable in a world where people respect art, and also in a world where people are aware that Christianity wasn’t the world’s first religion, and that much of its symbology is based on paganism.

    the specific part of the ceremony that caused the offense was, in fact, a scene depicting Dionysus, the Greek god of wine. It was reportedly based on The Feast of the Gods, a 17th century painting by Dutch artist Jan Harmensz van Biljert (source)
