Thanks for a great read, @liztai
I join you in calling for respectful actions and conversations. And in not taking one group's perceived disrespect toward another's as open season to mock them.

@ellane hehe thank you! I think being angry in general is so exhausting, and mocking has the same energy!

@perkinsy I am with you. I regret opening Facebook that day because that's how I found out 🙃 @ellane

@liztai @ellane I am not Christian but agree with you that this type of mocking of beliefs is appalling. It wasn't included in the opening ceremony highlights we saw and I have no desire to see it.

@perkinsy @ellane what puzzles me is why people are upset that we are upset. I mean if you are upset that we are upset, surely you shouldn't be surprised we are upset 🤣
Like I explained to another poster. I wasn't as upset with the blasphemy because it's just expected. I was upset by the anger at us being upset, like we don't have a right to be angry. If you can be angry when your values were mocked, surely you can give space to others to express their dismay?
