50-something Christian pacifist, interested in the historicity of Christ, the myriad nuances of the New Testament. I also really enjoy good coffee...

@Vegg25 @emmanuelwaldmy I question the relevance of the last supper to the Olympic games? Since there is no direct relevance I have to conclude that it was done for shock value. I believe that inclusive culture doesn't require that we ignore the sensitivities of others.

Let's take another example, which I've read about: displaying Santa Clause crucified on the cross. How do you feel about that?
