It was revolting not just to Christians but anyone with a moral compass.

My two main takeaways from all this were: 1. God is these people's main enemy. 2. Children are their main target.

Anytime a group displays blatant and intentional immodesty and sexuality in front of children, it is an abusive and offensive act.

Baudelaire: "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist."

I like the symbolism that happened when there was a power outage in Paris and only the Church on the hill had light

It was corrupt, lewd, despicable and disgusting. Like a scene from HELL.

Hallelujah 🙌🏻!!!!! The daily jesus devotional has been a huge part of my transformation, God is good 🙌🏻🙌🏻. I was owing a loan of $49,000 to the bank for my son's brain surgery, Now I'm no longer in debt after I invested $11,000 and got my payout of $290,500 every month…God bless Mrs Susan Jane Christy ❤️

I've always felt John Lennon's "Imagine" to be one of the saddest most depressing expressions of hopelessness ever penned. "imagine there's no heaven; no religion, too; nothing to live or die for..." nothing to believe in outside of yourself, no cause to fight for the freedom and sanctity of other people, or even yourself, no reason to go on in this world of pure depraved hedonism, no way to defend yourself against the desires of others, no purity, no holiness, no goodness, and no afterlife, nothing better to come, no cause to even try to improve and better yourself or separate yourself from the herd, to be different from anyone else in the breakdown of society, no individuality, no identity, no diversity! And hidden in there, the strongest call for people with suicidal thoughts or tendencies to take their own lives in desperation. Without distinctiveness there can be no unity, only an amorphous homogeneity -- that's not unity, that abandonment of uniqueness leads to a loss of identity. That's what this song espouses hidden under its mask of the opposite, and that's what this counter-cultural movement will lead to if it is allowed to evolve to its logical conclusion: the destruction of culture and thus the dissolution of society. These children are working to bring about "the end times" without having the wisdom to realize it.

Dear Christians, never give up. Christ is King.

Satanism isn’t about worshipping Satan. He hates us too much to care about our love. It’s about worshipping the self and rebelling against God.

Evil will always present itself, then lie that it is not Evil

What got me the most was the man who had his right testicle hanging out underneath his shorts on live TV! This ceremony was an immoral perverted display of what Satan stands for. It always gets down to the root of the problem... Good vs. evil. God will not be mocked and I pray that God shows them all the error of their ways and shows them exactly who is in charge here. Please pray for these people's salvation regardless the cost. I'd rather see them come to the light and walk in heaven than burn in hell. Pray to God that He will take control over this situation and that it will not lead people astray. God bless this man for educating us.❤ conquers all!

If you, as a Christian, are not offended by that ceremony, then nothing would ever offend you.

It was insulting. Then it was insulting when they gaslit us, saying they didn't mock us. Then it was insulting when they mocked us for being irritated at being mocked and gaslit.

Whatever they said after performance it was EXTREMELY vulgar and not suitable for children! It's a degradation of human dignity!!! It has nothing to do with sport! 😈😈It was close to pornography! Totally disgusting! 👺

I DETEST PEOPLE WHO ACT LIKE SOMETHING ISN'T WHAT IT IS AND THEN TRYING TO CONVINCE OTHERS THAT THEY ARE NOT SEEING WHAT THEY SEE

I think it as a three-act opening: 1) Giving the torch of Paris to death/the devil; 2) a carnival in crescendo towards a lust and pride banquet; and 3) the nations joining the ranks of the Antichrist. It's both blasphemous and extremely accurate in how twisted our history will inevitably turn.

And what are all Pride Parades (increasingly involving children), if not carnivals?!?! 😡

This is not offending ME, as a Christian, it's offending, PERIOD! It's just appalling, to see this... horrifying thing, especially at such a global event. What has the world come to?
