That does not back up your claim that it is a fact, nor that the Olympic committee specifically encouraged atheletes to do it. Nor that this particular gesture has Satanic or Illuminati overtones. What makes you a conspiracy theorist is the OP where you cite this thing as fact with no evidence. What will stop you from being regarded as a conspiracy theorist it to provide objective evidence of the claim.

As to the actual topic, sure, I have no problem with people being able to wear or show symbols of their religion in this setting. People do it all the time and it gets no comment, and this case should be no different.

I do not know if the OC made them do it, I just read some people saying it. But I think they can do the horus thing if they like it, who cares? Just do not punish the Neymar kid for liking Jesus.

"The regulation of the IOC vetoes manifestations of religious nature, commercial or political during the events organized by the entity."

Its not anti-Christian, it just a policy to avoid the politicization of the games. Makes sense to me. And even still, the worst that will happen (according to your article) is a warning.

This is just a sensationalized non-issue.

Any examples?

Sure:

3 - They said God is evil because he hates homossexuals.

Huh? if they are arguing God doesn't exist then how can they argue that God is evil? If God doesn't exist God is neither good nor evil, because a non-existent thing cannot possess any attributes. Kind of a dumb argument.

Also by the processes of logic, if God exists then he cannot be evil, because as the creator of the universe and all that is therein God defines good and evil, and anything God does is good. Anything God declares as good is good and anything God declares as evil is evil. It's like being the ultimate dungeon master. You write the rules of the game. What the players think of the rules is irrelevant.

You don't equate homosexuality with murder, I hope.

I've talked to a person who says that in the eyes of God, sin is sin no matter what kind it is. As long as it's against His will, it's sin and that's all there is to it. Sadly, it also seems like the logical conclusion according to my knowledge of Christianity and the Bible. It does make sense if you look at it from a certain angle (a crime is a crime).

Disclaimer: I don't know what to believe in. Science still leaves enough room for God to exist, but there's also no scientific evidence supporting God. I'm happy enough with recognizing the situation and not making up my mind because it doesn't really matter right now. I'd rather give God the benefit of doubt than outright deny His existence.

That is what real christians believe. Unjustified anger is a sin, Lying is a sin, envy is a sin. Stealing... All the evil things we do, not only homossexuality. The point of christianity, the pure and simple christianity as it is in the New Testament is : we are not good, we are all sinners, we deserve to pay.

But the Lord Jesus Christ came to pay for us, and for His righteousness we are forgiven if we believe in Him and call upon Him for salvation.

Homossexuality is not by any means the worst of sins. It is like if I see a married girl and feel lust for her, if I want to have sex with her. It is a natural instinct, but it is not nice by any means.

I'm pretty sure that printing false labels with misleading percentages is illegal. No way that man is 100% Jesus.

I get the logic but I do scratch my head at the notion that homosexuality is a sin. It doesn't hurt anyone like murder or theft.



I read Jesus Banana for some reason, that still makes more sense than a Jesus Bandana...

Sin is "to miss the mark", to go the wrong way.

There are lots of sins that do not hurt anyone but our relationship with God. Like lust, envy, anger, ungratitude towards God, rebbelion, unbelief, many many others. Being proud and arrogant also, does not hurt anyone but the ourselves, but it is for sure sin.

The criteria is not what hurts others, the criteria is what the Lord explained in His word, and the point is that we do lots of evil things, the more we get close to God, the more we realize it.

Specially pride, which is why homossexuality is dangerous sin, most sins do not make the sinner proud of it, but for some reason homossexuality does.

I do evil stuff all the time, althought I try my best to not do it. Sometimes I sucessed, most of times I fail. The thing is: I am not proud about it, I know it is wrong and I repent after I miss the mark.

I get on my knees, pray, ask for forgiviness to Jesus and for wisdom to do better. It is no different for homossexuals. Some sins we stop doing imediatelly after salvation, specially drugs, adultery, stealing. Some others stay with us the whole life, a thorn in our side, as the apostle Paul said. To keep us humble.
