“I am sorry to say to ALL the world’s GREATEST ATHELETES, I wish you ALL THE BEST, but I cannot watch an Olympics that disrespects Christianity and openly celebrates Satan,” he posted on X.

Fitness expert Jillian Michaels, who is openly part of the LGBTQ community and has a female partner, also condemned the ceremony as an attack against Christians.

“We demand tolerance and respect but then make a mockery of something sacred for over 2 billion Christians. This type of hypocrisy and lack of understanding is a bad look…” Michaels wrote on X.

Christian celebrity Candace Cameron Bure also called the opening ceremony ‘disgusting.’ While some have said that the ceremony was meant to be a re-creation of a pagan Greek feast of Dionysus, Bure makes a point as to why this performance was unacceptable regardless of what it was intended to look like.

“Since posting, many have tried to correct me saying it wasn’t about an interpretation of DaVinci’s The Last Supper, but a Greek god and the festival of Dionysus; who is a god of lust, insanity, religious ecstasy, ritual madness, etc.” Bure wrote on Instagram. “I still don’t see how that relates to unifying the world through competitive sports and acceptable for children to watch. In any case, I’m not buying it.”

On the other hand, Bure’s former “Full House” co-star, Jodie Sweetin took to Instagram to post a couple of stories in defense of the opening ceremony.

“…Why is it a ‘parody’ and not a tribute? Can drag queens not be Christian too?” Sweetin wrote on Instagram, according to Salon.com.

Sweetin is joined in company with First Lady Jill Biden, who praised the opening ceremony.

As the Christian Post reported, Biden described the Olympic ceremony by stating, “Every step of the way, I was thinking to myself, ‘Oh my God, oh my God, how are we going to top this, how are we going to top this’?”

This drastically differed from Donald Trump’s reaction as he told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham that the ceremony was a “disgrace.”
