     blasphemous ?

     wait until they find that a myth identifies Heracles and his father Zeus as the progenitors of the Games. According to legend, it was Heracles who first called the Games "Olympic" and established the custom of holding them every four years.

     and that the first dates of the Olympic go back to the VII th century BC and that Dyosinos (the guy in blue during the ceremony) is Heracles' half-brother.

     Pro-Trump group hits NBC with complaint over 'blasphemous' Olympic ceremonies - Raw Story

     Rumor to the contrary, blasphemy is covered by free speech, guys...and on top of that, NBC was covering a foreign event in a country that really pushes secularism.

     Otherwise, every time a RW White Nationalist spews stuff about foreigners and other people they don't like, I'd be hitting the Blasphemy/Heresy buttons myself...

     Considering that the person they picked to be Potus is the living embodiment of the #SevenDeadlySins, they really don't have a leg to stand on when it comes to "blasphemy." 🤦♂️#Paris #Olympics
