VIDEO: "The Truth About Sodom And Gomorrah"

    Given the depravity shown at the opening show of the Paris Olympics, including but not limited to the drag queen mockery of the Last Supper and the complete lack of tolerance and inclusion the Left has toward Christians, a video about the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah seems apropos. 

    Yes, I know that Leftists are claiming that the show was a representation of the Feast of Dionysus--even going as far as claiming it was modeled after a different painting--but the arrangement of the table with the drag queen the approximate size of a whale at the center with what is clearly meant to represent a halo about its head make it clear that the performance was to represent a copy of De Vinci's Last Supper. Moreover, both myths and historicity is wrong:  the Greek god Dionysus had nothing to do with the Olympic games among the classical Greeks. I have to agree with Glenn Reynolds that the spectacle was  was intended to be terrible and to offend: "Lousy culture like this is a power statement (“look what we can get away with!”) and also a convenient benchmark: One needs little in the way of talent to produce such an exhibition. Chutzpah will do." Reynolds continues:

    Why was it designed to stink? Again, power. A friend pointed out that the only good recent Olympic opening ceremonies were in Sochi, Russia, and in Beijing. Those governments, whatever their many flaws, wanted to present a positive message about their nations and their cultures to the world. They wanted to portray themselves as rising powers, full of cultural vigor.

    Ceremonies like the Paris opener, on the other hand, are intended to do just the opposite. They are intended to mock and denigrate the underlying Western culture, which even atheists like Richard Dawkins admit is Christian. This, we’re told, is “brave.” Or they pretend surprise that anyone is offended, but as the French say, “Ils sont toujours au courant,” meaning, “They’re always aware.”

    And, as we all know, they’d never mock Islam in a spirit of “inclusion.” There will be no blue-painted obese Prophet Muhammads. Partly that’s out of fear — unlike Christians, Muslims tend to respond to mockery with violence aimed at the mockers — and partly it comes from the belief that mocking non-Western culture is somehow racist.

The Left know that they can get away with this behavior toward Christians because there will never be any significant backlash, as might happen if they mocked Islam; and, perhaps more important, Christians no longer have the cultural cachet to give someone pause before insulting or mocking them.

  1. Okay, I saw a Metatron video, it was okay so I subscribed, but then the titles looked a little soft. This one good?

    1. I thought it was good for anyone that has no delved deeply into the issue. That is, it is aimed to give the viewer a deeper understanding than what you would have received in a Sunday School class but not like if you had pursued the subject to any extent yourself. I originally subscribed to his channel because his primary emphasis was on ancient and medieval weapons (he is a HEMA practitioner), particularly because he looked at weapons from the classical periods in addition to medieval and renaissance.
