So, when did BAAL worship become acceptable again? (1 Viewer)

[LittleNipper]

Everyone I talk to says that times today are really getting weird. And Christianity was once perceived as very good and acceptable. But now Christianity is being shoved into the closet and look what is coming into the limelight? Pagan worship!?!?! Now I know what you are going to say. This was just a show. It's entertainment. But why would the display of a cross be wrong; however, the display of a bull being ridden by a woman be embraced? And have everyone bowing down to it? Why do anything like this at all? What does it have to do with the present day olympic games in a supposed "MODERN" world? The Games are all supposed to be about athletics and the physical abilities of the human body ---- not snorting bulls and bowing crowds of cheering people. It actually does appear to be some third world pagan event! Anyway, this is what happened in ENGLAND of all places:

Here's a novel idea for you to ponder. Don't like what is the video? "Shove it into the closet", and don't partake of it, if you don't like it.

So, are you saying that we should end the Olympic games? I live in a country TODAY where if even a short benediction mentioning CHRIST is given at a graduation ceremony, that is wrong ---- but people like you accept public gay parades down main street, and seemingly public ritualistic displays representative of pagan worship on public TV (when viewers thought that what they would see had something to do with OLYMPICS!)

Who is forcing you to participate in that (probably not) pagan (probably not) ritual?

 

[LittleNipper]

Who is forcing you to participate in that (probably not) pagan (probably not) ritual?

So when you go to an OLYMPIC Event --- you assume it will feature a Pagan Display of worship? How would you have reacted if instead the Passion of Christ was enacted? I bet you would likely have something to say, or maybe not? I mean no one is forcing you to participate ----- isn't that what you said?

 

[LittleNipper]

Such paranoia.

I don't know what to say to you? I only know that when the morning exercise of a short Bible reading in Public Schools was suspended in 1963, Madalyn Murray O'Hair wouldn't have been happy if she had been called "paranoid," and nothing changed.

A bull being ridden by a woman, you say? I want in on this.

Sounds like you lost the culture war.

 

[LittleNipper]

Do they charge money for tickets? Is any tax money applied? Is there a warning that a sideshow is to be performed that some may find questionable?

 

[Bodecea]

Don't dis Odin.

Sounds like you (as always) are on the wrong side of the battle.

Nobody actually cares if you're offended.

How does it go? "**** your feelings."

I'm not the one losing my shit over a parade.

 

[LittleNipper]

Odin is NOTHING. GOD is the only "I AM."

It's the attitude that is pervasive everywhere today. Christians are being labeled "HATEFUL," while the real danger is being embraced and loved...

So your basic problem is that people aren't letting you tell them how to act, and when you try anyway, people dump on you really hard?

You should be happy about that. You guys aren't happy unless you're being persecuted, at least in your own mind.

Yeah, they think the same thing about your angry old mountain deity.

Here's the thing: In the republic, you can't make anyone join your religion. But you guys never bothered learning how to sell it, and when people stopped listening, you guys went all dominionist, and now everyone views you as an existential threat to their freedom.

So yes, people are hostile. Why wouldn't they be?

No. I didn't say "we should end the Olympic games" -you just said that. And , yes, not only do I "accept public gay parades down main street", when my younger daughter was 12, I took her downtown, so she could watch a gay parade. What is wrong with that? Am I going to 'smitedeth' by some unseen force, simply because I allowed my child to spend some quality time with her father, and she experienced some diversity contained within our free society? Not sure how things work in your humble domain, but if/when we tune into something on tv, and we don't want to view the content of that particular offering, we simple exercise of freedom to turn the channel to something more suitable to our personal viewing tastes.

But you and others like you wish to change our REPUBLIC into a DEMOCRACY. And that is where the danger lies. And this will start with the end of THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE Clinton is one behind that move ----- as is the Democratic Party on the whole.
