The large picture above is the closest I could find at the moment, however the lady in red and green has not yet moved towards the centre in this shot, later on she was on the other side of the person in silver and leaning in towards her… ( see pic below) If you can imagine that order in the pic above, then (some, I admit, not all, but some) even wear the same colour schemes as in the painting.
I watched a YT video in which the host discussed the inverted arm position of the person on the right too, but there are too many videos of this now, and I can’t find that particular one again.
Anyway, I am going to stop trying to convince you all, because maybe you are not supposed to see it the way I do and if too many people see it, it will become too real… I.e. Maybe I am strengthening the evil side by giving it attention and the more people see it the more attention it will get, so I am just going to leave it alone now.
If that makes you feel like you ’won’ the debate against me, then I am happy to concede and give you the win, if that’s what you need.

Nothing to do with predicting any outrage. Just a little narrative to inform folks about the basis for the festival to be more inclusive.

This is the crowd who insisted things like Magic the Gathering and Harry Potter teach witchcraft, who say Pokemon and evolution open one up to demonic influence.
They'd still be outraged because they lived by taking John Lennon out of context and insisting we can actually can hear Satanic messages when you play the record backwards.

Are you under the impression that Jesus was a blue person? Have you never imagined that other feasts and festivities have been depicted in painting form and that perhaps, given that this was the Olympics and everything, the most likely explanation was that it was a depiction of the ancient Greek gods? Especially given that one of the guys was blue.
See now, this is why I implored you to read through the thread. We've been over and over this already.
What is it that you think the Olympic committee removed? And from where?
Multiple incidences of ... what?

So you're upset because you think it depicted an artists' rendering of an imaginary Last Supper? It's not a photograph, ya know.
Now look up "Feast of Saturnalia" or "The Feast of Bacchus" or "The Feast of the Gods" and realize there is far more than just Christianity in this world and that everything doesn't centre around offending Christians.

Whoa, whoa, you're claiming this is .... evil?The large picture above is the closest I could find at the moment, however the lady in red and green has not yet moved towards the centre in this shot, later on she was on the other side of the person in silver and leaning in towards her… ( see pic below) If you can imagine that order in the pic above, then (some, I admit, not all, but some) even wear the same colour schemes as in the painting.

How so?

I do not see it. One thing that you will realize is that any scene with a table with people on only one side of it, as one would portray it for an audience, will have some basic similarities. You then have to go with context and the context was not of the Last Supper.
Then perhaps not so unpredictable.

Then why walk on egg shells? They get offended over the most trivial things, like the rainbow that was on Dark Side of the Moon long before LGBT was using it.
Just let them cry and be stupid rather than force people to cater to them even more.
I thought the idea was to be inclusive.

Not when it means catering to prejudice and bigotry, not when the issue is people who are so self centered they cannot see it does not all revolve around them.

And Judas Priest told us to kill ourselves.
That's pretty prejudicial and bigoted, but I don't suppose I have to tell you that.

I have no issues with that. We mustn't be so tolerant that we tolerate intolerance.

The entire Olympic games is a pre Christian celebration of sport, originally performed by entirely nude athletes.
The entire Gamut of greek gods would have been represented, except for the yet to be proposed god of the Jews and Christians.
The Christian right should accept the nature of the olympics for what it is, it is certainly not a Christian brand. It is universal.

It was originally a celebration of sport in honour of the Greek Gods.
You are mile off getting it. So sad.

You expect too much of the Christian right.Yes, I assumed that was common knowledge so was indulging in sarcasm.
Tolerance doesn't mean you have to agree with it. It only means you have to understand that just because a person doesn't have the same pov as you make them evil.
