Hi
@Eli1
First of all, why should I assume an impossibility. That France has never heard of christianity. Really????? Secondly, what type of trash. It was a representation of a ceremony that was showing how the ancient Greeks, where the Olympic Games come from, held a celebration to one of their gods. Now, if you're just going to call it trash because it involves some false god, then you've likewise got to call all of the Muslim faith trash to their faces also. All of the Hindus and Buddhists. Look it's an Olympic event and so the event organizers chose to go with a ceremony that resembled what was done in ancient Greece. How is that trash?
I'm telling you, although you seem to refuse to want to listen because you've been brainwashed by the media source you choose to listen to, I guess, there was nothing in that depiction that resembled anything that I've seen or understood as the Last Supper that Jesus shared with his disciples. Nothing!!!!! Except a long table. That's it!! This entire brouhaha is over some supposed christian seeing a long table, which they think because of Da Vinci's painting is how Jesus shared the Last Supper, but not necessarily, was some representation of the Last Supper of Jesus, the Christ.
I'm sorry, but this is all just silly and makes christians look silly in the eyes of the unbelievers. Because they all know that the ceremony performed at the Olympics had nothing to do with Jesus, but these foolish christians are making it all about them. Who wants to believe like they do? They seem to be pretty stupid about all of this. That's what the unbelievers think when they see this kind of foolishness by those who claim to know Jesus, but really have no idea how he shared the last supper. In fact, if they're going by Da Vinci's painting, then they also believe it was in some huge hall with 12 feet tall windows. Yeah right! That's what the upper room was, a huge banquet hall. Look friend, Da Vinci's painting is a representation of what Da Vinci imagined the Last supper was like. But there's nothing in that painting that we know really represents the ceremony except for Jesus and the apostles reclining around a 'long table'. In reality, we don't even know if a table was in that room. As a common practice of eating in ancient Israel, people didn't generally sit down at tables. They also didn't have chairs to sit on! Da Vinci created a great masterpiece in honor of Jesus, but we don't know if any of it is a true representation and there are some things that we know are not true about the event. Like the big tall windows with fancy valances.
See those benches that they are sitting on? That isn't how people sat to eat in ancient Israel. See that coffered ceiling. That would have only been if maybe they were sharing the last supper in Herod's castle. All of that fancy formed concrete that you see in the window boxes. Wouldn't have been there! Those little side boxes in the wall. Wouldn't have been there.
But really, do you see anything in this picture that closely resembles anything in that Olympic ceremony?
God bless and vote wisely,
Ted
