I am embarrassed for Christians, and I AM one. My precious faith has been hijacked by extremists and I am none too happy. Between the Trumpers and this nonsense, it’s barely recognizable as adherents who feed the poor, help the helpless, and minister GOOD NEWS for ALL. Stop it. Please just stop it. Please study up on cultures that are NOT your own.
The Olympics did not originate under Christianity. Every single thing on the planet is not based in Christianity. I can’t believe I have to say this, but every single thing from another culture is not demonic and against your beliefs. Stop with the persecution complex already, holy cow (cows are sacred in India, but it’s just an expression, not a jab at your faith. See how easy it is to not “holy-ize” everything?)
The Olympics is an event that began in Ancient Greece. The Greeks had their own mythology, which is what is portrayed in celebration of the games, which also originated in Greece. What you see as a drag show, the ancient Greeks saw as theater. What you see as… you know what? Nevermind. Closed minds don’t hear a thing. And that makes me sad for us all.

I’m embarrassed to call myself one too. I don’t even want to be associated with the evangelical right.

Finally, some common sense and uncommon valor. Seriously folks, we can’t remain silent while the right wing extremist try to highjack our choice of worship, freedom to choose and right to lead our lives as we see fit. As long as no one is hurt by our choices then we should be free to lead our lives without the worry of reprisal.
