"I am a Jew, not a Christian. Yet I found loathsome the mockery of the Last Supper — one of the holiest scenes in the New Testament — during the opening of the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
In fact, it is actually troubling to constantly read the words, 'Many Christians are offended' — as if only Christians are offended by France’s and the International Olympic Committee’s mockery of Jesus’ Last Supper scene.
You don’t
have to be a Christian to understand that Christianity — more specifically,
Judeo-Christian values and the Bible — made Western civilization. Without
Christianity and the Bible, there would be no West. That is why contempt for
Christianity and the Bible is synonymous with mockery for the West. The current
civil war within Western civilization is a war between the Left and the Bible.
It is
crucial to note that the Left, whether in America or Europe, never mocks Islam.
One would think that with virtually all religious violence in the world
emanating from that religion, the Left would concentrate its antireligious fire
against Islam, or at least fundamentalist Islam.
One reason is that leftists fear Muslims. If you mock Islam, you will have to spend your life in hiding or risk being beheaded. On the other hand, the Left has no fear of Christians. No matter how much the Left mocks and undermines Christianity, the Left assumes that not one of the world’s two and half billion Christians will hurt them. And the Catholic pope will not only not issue a fatwa against you, he won’t even speak out against you. Because he, too, is a man of the Left."
