It’s brazen spiritual warfare at the summer Olympics in Paris.
Organizers of the games in Paris have shredded the once dominant Catholic nation of the last vestiges of faith, a pillar of Western civilization.
When China or Russia are given the chance to shine on the Olympic stage, they promote their culture, they don’t detonate it as the French did on July 26.

Much has been said and written about The Last Supper with transgender actors and an obese lesbian, Barbara Butch, playing the role of Jesus Christ. The scene included a child, as if to say, “We’re coming for your kids and there’s nothing you can do about it!”
Yet, that is just a starting point for an opening ceremony that engaged in Ephesians 6-style spiritual warfare. The official poster for the Paris games replaced the cross on Les Invalides in Paris with a different design. Also, the main stage had a golden calf, clear indications of pagan Baal worship and child sacrifice to Molech.
It is no surprise, the French compounded their mockery of faith by making John Lennon’s atheistic anthem “Imagine” a key aspect of the ceremony.
Lennon’s song stokes utopian fire of world peace for humanity by imagining no heaven, no hell, no countries, and no possessions. If you believe Lennon’s song stirs up communism, you wouldn’t be alone.
The Olympics exist because nations exist.
Ironically, as the Olympics blared this message worldwide, hot spots reminded everyone “imagining” world peace doesn’t reflect 21st century reality.
Hezbollah, an Iranian proxy, shot a rocket that hit a soccer field in Northern Israel, killing 12 children and injuring about 30.
Israeli retaliation was swift, killing Hezbollah and Hamas leaders.
A civil war is unfolding in Venezuela following their election.
Cuba’s communist leaders have a financial crisis.
Haiti is being run by gangs.
Conflict by China against Taiwan continues to percolate.
Russia is still fighting Ukraine.
The world is on fire with conflict. But, you can just feel the “Imagine” vibes now!
Western governments have succumbed to climate change orthodoxy, letting globalist policies dictate food and energy for citizens.
European Western nations also allowed mass migration from the Middle East, Northern Africa, and elsewhere. The change is so recognizable that British atheist Richard Dawkins, calling himself a “cultural Christian,” yearns for those former days.
The war on faith from the opening ceremonies brought spiritual anarchy–no boundaries, no standards, and blatant warfare against faith.
The opening ceremony featured a menage a trois and a singing beheaded Marie Antoinette.
Faith and the church took root in Europe during the Reformation, a precursor to the Enlightenment. European kings and queens endured much conflict of allegiance to Rome (Catholicism) or Protestants. Many people died. However, the culmination of that was faith and the church–whether it was Catholicism, Anglicanism, Lutheranism, Methodism, or other faith traditions–that made it the West’s civilizational pillar.
When faith takes priority in a culture, strong families follow. These civilizations celebrate families and children. These are societies that place priority on stable families and children having the presence of Fathers and Mothers in the home.
Cultures with faith and families will have birth rates that replace their population. Remember that one of God’s commands to Adam and Eve was to “be fruitful and multiply.” Healthy nations that celebrate family wouldn’t consider going “childless” as current American political headlines declare with moral superiority.

Replacing the cross on a Paris landmark for an Olympic poster sends a clear message. So does a golden calf. So does an LGBTQ freak show–with a child–in a scene they called “New Gay Testament.” So does Lennon’s “Imagine.”
Europe has been post-Christian for decades, with anemic church attendance for at least two generations. This 2018 Pew Research study reveals Catholic Spain claiming Western Europe’s highest church attendance at 22 percent.
Meanwhile, Finnish Member of Parliament Päivi Räsänen and Lutheran Bishop Juhana Pohjola were both tried for “hate speech” in August 2023, and ultimately found not guilty after publicly expressing their Christian beliefs. The Alliance Defending Freedom reported:
‘At the heart of the prosecutor’s examination of Räsänen was this: Would she recant her beliefs? The answer was no—she would not deny the teachings of her faith,’ said ADF International Executive Director Paul Coleman, who serves on Räsänen’s legal team. ‘The cross-examination bore all the resemblance of a ‘heresy’ trial of the Middle Ages; it was implied that Räsänen had ‘blasphemed’ against the dominant orthodoxies of the day.’
It’s no longer opposition or hostility toward faith. Pagans intend to compel conformity. They drag God and Christians to the public square to humiliate them in vile ways.
What’s next? Nero.
The child at the scene of The Last Supper sent the message of warfare against kids and families akin to what is repeatedly seen in Old Testament Baal worship.
It’s demonic.
It’s not just an effort to destroy kids by oversexualizing them to make horrible decisions. They know that if they can get kids, they can destroy their faith and any potential spiritual legacy with them.
God can rescue even this for his good. Yet, France wants to break a world record in the 100 meter dash to achieve neo-paganism, and they don’t care.
It’s chilling.
