I am absolutely unwilling, in my personal view, to back down off of this idea that there is something so much more significant going on in the opening ceremony of the Olympics with the presentation of the Greek god Dionysus.

One, the Greek god Dionysus has nothing to do with peace and harmony.

He's the Greek god of ecstasy, and in fact I think a better translation of that is the Greek god of insanity.

I'm going to get into the myth stories of this, but I do not believe that any person living around the time of the Greco-Roman period or walk around if they saw that image or that statement on a t-shirt, they're going to be like, you got the wrong dude. That ain't him? That, that, what? Are you talking about the guy who comes in intoxicated with wine where half of these bockled feasts end in the murder of individuals

or in licentious living and sexual absurdity and in all kinds of stuff that was so disgusting that it

couldn't even be done in the main streets a bunch of these types of things took place in the woods

like that's who you're saying that and i just want to just ask this question. Are we really going to

accept that as propositional truth?

The history of our earth is so different from what we can imagine. The Smithsonian, if they found out about a large skeleton somewhere, was to go get it.

I'm going to assume at least one person is right, because if one person's right to bust the paradigm,

it all goes back to the fallen church.

And the problem with the modern day church, they have a very truncated view of the supernatural.

This backdrop that's just pregnant with all kinds of meaning associated with this Mount Herman event.

And this guy defects from the kingdom.

That's a big deal.

All right. Welcome back to Blurray Creatures. We're going to go back into the ancient times with Dr. Joel Montemale again.

He's one of our fan favorites here on Blurray Creatures. If you're not following Joel, Dr. Menomale, what are you doing?

We're going to talk about some of the controversy. I'm not going to get too into it in terms of the outrage, but we're going to talk about sort of the history behind some of the symbolism that we saw in the opening ceremonies of the Olympics and Dionysus and sort of the

mocking of the Last Supper. I think you'll like this episode because it's not going to be your

traditional just like, oh, look at what they're doing, but more like, why are they doing what

they're doing? The credibility that it lends to the story that we all, most of us believe and sort of the history and the symbolism of the greek gods love dr joel montemale it's going to be a fun one yeah i love this we're going to get into you know the the mythos and

the mythology which we do often of course the biblical texts the biblical truths and filter it all
