Christians including Elon Musk have slammed the Paris Olympics opening ceremony for an apparent parody of the Last Supper as technical hitches and rain-drenched performers meant only Canadian singer Celine Dion could save it.

With critics branding the four-hour show as the 'worst ever', viewers reported poor audio caused by the near-torrential rain and even joked online that organisers needed to 'stop the boats'.

Hundreds of thousands of spectators watched 6,800 athletes covered in plastic ponchos attempted to keep spirits high as they travelled down the river Seine in a huge flotilla of 85 boats.

Performances from Lady Gaga and approximately 3,000 dancers, acrobats and actors were hard to hear over the sound of rain, with viewers slamming it as 'the worst Olympic opening ceremony in memory'.

Gaffes with country names, the mounting of the Olympic flag and bizarre scenes which saw as headless Marie Antoinette singing peppered the display last night as sport begins in earnest this morning.

But among the various artistic tableaus, named after French values such as freedom, fraternity and equality, it was the last supper-style performance in 'festivité' - or party - scene which caused the most controversy.

Leonardo da Vinci's depiction of the last supper, with Jesus in the centre surrounded by his disciples

Complete with models, dancers, fashion icons and drag queens from the host nation, the performance took place on a bridge over the capital's river around a table, which also doubled as a catwalk.

At the centre was a woman in front of DJ equipment with a golden halo-style crown, surrounded by several drag queens and dozens of dancers and performers.

A fashion show which showcased clothing designed by some of France's most promising young designers took centre stage, as those seated on either side performed slick choreography.

Among those present was Drag Race icon Nicky Doll, who has appeared on the French franchise, RuPaul's Drag Race UK vs The World and now hosts France's own version.

Although also hampered by hard-to-hear music, many young people and fans of the popular TV show took to social media to praise the tableau, which aimed to echo the atmosphere of a nightclub and featured dancing and lip-syncing on the soaking-wet stage.

But others were less impressed, accusing organisers of creating a 'woke' parody of the Last Supper - a painting by Leonardo da Vinci depicting Jesus' last meal with his disciples.

Tesla and SpaceX owner Elon Musk, who has come under criticism for his conservative beliefs, including towards his own daughter, wrote - claimed the performance was 'extremely disrespectful to Christians'.

He added: 'Christianity has become toothless.'

Are you in competition with other religions?

God is so patient and gives everyone a long rope for repentance....

The blood of Jesus is still crying out for mercy but once the Rapture occurs, the world will experience trouble that will make WW2 look like a joke!

Righteousness2:
The paris Olympic is Satanism and the Shadow of the Beast in full display to billions of people in the World.

They are no more Hiding .
They see , know and Understand the Signs of the times.
They know that there is no more time .
Unfortunately, many are sleeping and involving themselves in nonessentials.

Shouldn't you be more concerned about these ones who are the real threats to your religion, than spending sleepless nights scouring the internet, looking for and gloating over severed heads of Palestinian babies bombed by Shitrael

Crazy Islamophobe!

Compete? Christ has no one to compete with so does Christianity. I'm only surprised about your comments towards Christianity as regards the subject matter. Was slamming too much compared to killing? Of course there is always room for comparison. The death of Deborah is still very fresh in people's memory, understand.

Pray pray pray also about my comments.

The religious people emphasize on unnecessary things.

Olympics is a worship to one of their Greek gods. I think Olympus if I’m not mistaken.

Jesus is the biggest idol right now, followed by Mohammed then probably Buddha.

Olympics has always been a worship to the Greek god Olympus. Which one is woke again?

The only difference between the Christians and the Extremist Muslims is that 'The Christians are cowards who only react online '

If you are 'tolerant', you will IGNORE.

Satanists are a failed and defeated group, so that
have to grapple at straws.

Our prayers is that the Lord will save many people before time runs out.

Amen

Which God? The Catholic Church that commissioned the painting by Leonardo da Vinci over 1400 years after Jesus Christ, abi?.

You mean your god the Catholic Church that commissioned the painting back in 1498, abi?

Exactly! Everyone should know this but the Christians need attention now so we must have to listen to them whine.

Are you a Christian? Are you really a child of God?

Are you faking being a believer in Jesus?

If you are, better repent, because time is running out ⏳

No child of the God of Israel or Jesus would associate themselves with any religion of this world as He made clear that Religion is against Him.

That said, your gods of men are seriously doing a number on you lot.
