The Paris Olympics opening ceremony took a bizarre turn with a drag-inspired tableau, sparking an online debate over whether it was a perversion of “The Last Supper” or a reference to “The Feast of Dionysus.” Either way, the intent seemed to be to provoke—and then gaslight—Christians on the world stage. As a Christian myself, I don’t think this was a mere artistic choice; it was a clear mockery of the faith of 2.4 billion people, reflecting a growing cultural trend where so-called “tolerance” is about openly disrespecting traditional values. However, I’m also wary of the temptation toward full-blown reactionary intolerance in response to this provocation. In these moments, it’s crucial that we defend our values without losing sight of what makes them worthwhile in the first place.
