CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY AUGUST 13, 2024
DID YOU WATCH THE OLYMPICS IN PARIS? WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE DRAG QUEEN “LAST SUPPER” BLASPHEMY, I ENJOYED SEEING FINELY TUNED MEN AND WOMEN PERFORM. I DIDN’T ENJOY THE GENDER CONFUSED BOXERS WHO WERE MEN BEATING UP WOMEN. ANYWAY, I THINK IT WAS THE BEST OLYMPIC GAMES SINCE LOS ANGELES IN 1984.
A CLICHÉ WAS HOW THESE GAMES “BRING THE WORLD TOGETHER.” RUSSIA WAS BANNED FROM THE GAMES BECAUSE OF ITS INVASION OF UKRAINE. CHINA AND NORTH NORTH KOREA SENT ATHLETES. DID THEY BRING THE WORLD TOGETHER? THEY ARE TOGETHER WHEN IT COMES TO THREATENING THE U.S., ALONG WITH IRAN AND RUSSIA.
WHAT DIVIDES THE WORLD AND MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO COME TOGETHER IS THE REFUSAL OF NATIONS AND THEIR LEADERS TO HUMBLE THEMSELVES BEFORE GOD, TO SEEK HIS FACE AND TO CONFESS OUR SINS.
ONLY CHRIST CAN BRING HUMANS TOGETHER WITH GOD AND WITH EACH OTHER. IT WAS NICE TO SEE A FEW ATHLETES FROM AMERICA AND ONE OR TWO OTHER COUNTRIES EXPRESS THEIR FAITH IN HIM. THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT TRUE UNITY LOOKS LIKE.
THE GAMES WERE A NICE BREAK FROM POLITICIANS AND THE FAILURE OF THE MEDIA TO DO THEIR JOBS. THEY DON’T RATE A BRONZE MEDAL. I’M CAL THOMAS.
