okay. I've only seen stills of blue guy on a plate. How does this have any resemblance to the last supper? Is it just that there's people at a long table? The more images I find the more concerned I am that christians have not seen a picture of the last supper.
It's a well established historical fact that the last supper is the only time in history that people gathered around a table !
gathered around a table
Or at least gathered on one side of a table.
In Canada we call that a Degrassi.
Actually, the one time in history where this many people decidedly failed to gather around a table.
I always have to go to these stupid work lunches where someone hands their phone to the waiter and everyone has to lean in, like two dozen people at a long ass table so some idiot can email spam it the next day, like we all really wanted to be there.
I was hoping to find a video of the performance, since maybe it gave off more Last Supper vibes than a still photo. But I'll be damned, there's not a video of it anywhere. Just lots of videos of people complaining about it.

What, that's not common knowledge?
Btw, christmas was stolen from Yule. And some stories in the old testament are from Gilgamesh and Atrahasis Epos, like Mose' abandonement in a reed basket as an example.
Literally all beings and concepts in christianity have a pagan origin. Even ancient YHWH/Yahweh/Jehovah/Tetragrammaton (God) goes probably back to El.
But i guess that's natural, concepts like an underworld are in above epics too, those sorts of stories developed over civilizations.
For sure, the ancient Israelites had a pantheon of gods, just like the Greeks. I mean, their monotheism developed out their own version paganism, of which Yahweh was but one of their gods. Specifically, the god of the storms that occurred in southern palestinian. He had a wife, multiple kids and a giant oversized novelty penis. Along with his god sized cock, he would often be represented as a bull, as a man with horns or a golden calf.
Why yes, theexact kind of golden calf the Israelites started to worship when moses when up mount sinai to get the 10 commandments. Its specifically the exact reason they did it and not that they just decided to worship some random cow, despite having seen a bag full of miracles and monstrous amounts of child murder from their actual god first hand.
Yup, the calf was most likely a regular part of the northern Israel's worship, but not of the southern Judah's. Since most of the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) is written from a Judean perspective (which makes sense; it survived longer), it treats it as blasphemous, when in reality, to them, it wasn't.
What, that’s not common knowledge?
To the American Christians throwing a fit about this? No, they have no idea.
Like 4/5 of the Bible isn't common knowledge to most Christians. To say nothing of the actual history of Christianity.
For accuracy sake, yes the depiction in the Olympics was meant to be Feast of the Gods, but that painting came after The Last Supper and is thought to be directly inspired by da Vinci. Last Supper - 1495 Feast of the Gods - 1635-1640
Linking Wikipedia. The primaries appear to be in French 😅 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Festin_des_Dieux
People are talking about two different moments, 40 minutes from each other: https://jlai.lu/post/9004279
Sorry for the French, but the screens and minutes are there.
This makes much more sene than Last Supper. Got a source on it actually suppised to be reannacment of this painting?
Not doubting you because I have eyes but some people migh be blinded by their christian goggles.
Don't forget the people that are mad at this also get mad then they hear Beethoven's Ode to Joy performed or translated because the lyrics aren't the same as the Christian hymn that plagiarized his melody. They also get mad when they hear Greensleeves performed because those lyrics don't line up with the Christian hymn that uses the same melody either.
The same christians who got offended by this would also complain about muslims being prudish when they get pissy about showing their prophet.
I think there are a large number of valid reasons to be confused by this image that do not have to do with Christianity.
Like, how do I get a job like that?
You start by making a number one hit song that is absolutely funny. You continue by making performance art. Then you combine both !
Apparently any time people are in a row on one end of a long table, it's automatically a Last Supper reference.
It was literally a runway. Not sure how else they should have done it lol
Its sad. Just full blast showing global problems with history education
I don’t think it counts as stealing- syncretism is present in virtually every faith that has contact with another faith, modern and ancient.
Christianity stole eating from the pagans.
As someone raised as a Mor[m]on, their response would be: the pantheons of pagan gods are just corruptions of the Gospel taught to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Thankfully, Joe Smith (not a couch banger, just a plain old pedophiliac serial rapist like any other good Christian leader) restored (made up) the lost parts of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
hums dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb
According to some ex-mormon lady on YouTube, one of her non-Mormon friends would quote/sing that at her when she would tell him about the beliefs of Mormonism, while they were in highschool. She didn't catch what he was saying until after she left the church and saw that episode.
We can get more gnostic. We can go deeper. Actually, Adam and Eve are the corruptions of a still more authentic Gospel that's been occluded from us.
☐ Ambient Occlusion
☒ Biblical Occlusion
At Last, Supper! Gah, I've been so hungry.
Papa Smurfs birthday.
Yes clearly. And I can clearly see his balls too. So colorful!
I mean, they were almost essentially monochrome blue...considering what he's the god of, he clearly needs to clean out the pipes....
It’s really too bad Paul went in for Apolline Douchiness rather than Dionysian partying.
I have the weirdest urge to start a fight with the blue dude and I dont know why.
I don't know if the French guy is up for it, but I bet you could find some crazy libertarian who takes way too much colloidal silver if you want...
For those who are unfamiliar, that's not makeup or Photoshop. That's what happens when you rely on alternative "medicine."
And there's me mishearing it as diogenes and thinking some bowls were going to get broken and some chickens were going to get grabbed.
I thought it was a well planned Papa Smurf..../s
Does anyone have a video link? I can't find it anywhere.
I still don't know what is going on in this picture. Can someone explain? I know this is some type of an opening ceremony and conservative christians were upset by it.
the god of blood & wine, who died and was reborn, and often shown with pinecone imagery is celebrated on the winter solstice for the harvest of wine, and then again with the coming of spring for the end of winter harvest. Lots of dicks, flowers, fruit, baskets, bread, young unmarried women, etc.
While it sounds like it could be, it is not Jesus. not Christmas. not Easter. Not the last supper. Many christians assumed so I guess and got mad. Plus omg people being promiscuous? in ancient greece/rome? GASP. Because we all know jesus killed adulterers and prostitutes....
Anyways, it was for the greek god Dionysus, with the celebration Dionysia. or Bacchus and the celebration Bacchanalia if you're roman.
Man. Who could've guessed the french would like the god of wine & would want to honor that.
