Punishment for the Losers

It's time to accept we lost the culture war and are paying the price

As I mentioned in the opening paragraph of my last piece,¹ it seems as if the culture war has already been lost to Progressivism and now the losing side is being punished by having our cultures and very identities stripped from us and erased from history. We have seen persistent attacks against Christian principles, traditional conservative and family values, the preservation of life, civilized societal norms that protect people from criminal behavior, and almost everything anyone who has a shred of morality would consider right and good in the world. It has been replaced by broken homes, crime-ridden streets, abortion on demand, and mockeries of anyone who is willing to openly stand up for the benchmarks of Christian faith. And soft, “I just want to be left alone” attitudes have led to this being the end. If you’re not willing to fight for the things you believe in, they’ll inevitably be taken away from you and destroyed.

Which brings us to the latest controversial thing that’s running the gambit of mainstream news and maybe more importantly mainstream Christian rationalization, excusing, and even justification of what most can clearly view as a mockery of and possibly one of the most blatant slaps in the face of Christian values in recent memory… The Opening Ceremony of the Olympics this past weekend in France.

While many people, both Christian and non-Christian alike’s, natural reaction was to be taken aback by the apparent symbolism and mockery in the imagery from the opening ceremony (which was literally called "La Cène Sur Un Scène Sur La Seine," i.e. "The Last Supper on a Stage on the Seine," although any record of that official title has since been wiped from existence, naturally) many Christian apologists (not to be confused with Christian Apologetics, which we’ll get to later) came to the defense of the presentation claiming it wasn’t actually offensive, and even if it was Jesus preached love and turning the other cheek and yada yada yada so just accept having your faith mocked with grace and humility and stand by while everything you hold dear in the world is destroyed. I don’t know when Christianity went from being a something that changed the world to being this spineless creature mainstream “christians” have turned it in to, but it sickens me actually more than the display of the Opening Ceremony.

And what’s more on that topic, is the defense of this display doesn’t even hold up against a minimal amount of scrutiny. First of all, we have a soft apology issued by the Olympic Committee which has surprisingly been reported by many mainstream news outlets with more…honesty, I think I’ll say…than what the full text of the actual statement may have conveyed.

While the official apology didn’t actually state that the performance was intended as a mockery of The Last Supper, and the ceremony’s artistic director stated “My wish isn’t to be subversive, nor to mock or to shock. Most of all, I wanted to send a message of love, a message of inclusion and not at all to divide,” many of the performers who were on the stage have made it very clear that it was most certainly intended as a representation of The Last Supper, if not explicitly meant as a mockery of it.²

The next justification of why this clearly wasn’t meant as a mockery of Christianity and The Last Supper is the many references to a painting that was done “long before The Last Supper” which is where the inspiration for the ceremony came from. A painting called The Feast of the Gods. Except there are a number of different paintings called The Feast of the Gods, and when you take in to consideration that The Last Supper was completed in 1498 and literally every single iteration of The Feast for the Gods was completed anywhere between the mid-1500’s to the early 1600’s and even one that was completed in the early 1800’s, and that every single one of them captures a similar styling as The Last Supper, and that the one done in the 1800’s was by some post-Enlightenment artist who hated Christianity and was literally creating the piece to mock The Last Supper maybe, just maybe, these apologists are just too scared to stand up for their own faith and their God who they claim to be loving and serving by being spineless and useless in the face of persecution. And even if you want to say “no no this wasn’t intentional, it wasn’t a jab at The Last Supper” every one of these images is still a celebration of debauchery and degeneracy and having an entire stage full of drag show champions while one literally has his balls hanging out of his shorts while standing behind a child should not be a thing Christians are creating justifications for!

Christian Apologetics is the defense of faith using the Bible, history, science, and our instincts to examine and prove the truth of our faith when the world brings it under attack. Christian apologists, on the other hand, won’t even put up a fight to defend their own children from being subjected to a drag queen’s balls for fear of offending someone and making people think that Christianity actually has rules and structures and expectations of humanity to not be complete degenerate filth. We need to be getting very comfortable with the idea that not only is there a cultural and spiritual war that’s been waged around the world, but because of apologists we already lost it. Now we have to take on the mentality of the early Christian church, which came in to existence while being ruled by the Roman Empire, which was godless and hedonistic in its own rights, much similar to the world we’re living in now. We have to be prepared to defend ourselves. We have to be prepared to grow our message through strict faith and theology. We cannot “conform to this world” but set ourselves forth on a path to “prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.” (Roman 2:12) Stop apologizing for having principle. Stop justifying degeneracy. Stand up and be strong in faith. Soft, weak, spineless “christians” is why the world has fallen in to the shape it’s in today. We don’t have time for that sort of weakness any more.
