The Olympics are evil because they are held in honor of Zeus, who symbolizes Satan as the king of the world.

@MysticalChicken :
No, I mostly couldn't give a fuck either really.
I might if it was still done nude...with all female athletes...and by athletes I mean amature porn "stars".
Zeus is the one true god, while your Jesus symbolises Satan, who runs amuck in the world, possessing people and making their TVs go on the fritz, unhampered by your supposedly omnipotent god.
I knew that Santa is the king of the world, I just knew it. What, you meant Satan? I thought he can't do shit without Yahwe's aproval, so how can he be king? Also, Zeus is your god's older brother, so give him a little respect.
Satan is more like Hades, in that he is ruler of the underworld. Other than that, I don't think there is a similar God to Satan in Greek mythology--they weren't concerned about evil creatures trying to steal your soul. They were smart like that.
Um, I think the Olympics are held in honour of corporate greed nowadays. The idea of the competitors all being amateurs is very long gone.
Edit: Oh wow, I just checked the OP! It's like discovering a whole new 'Rapture Ready'! Shed-loads of insanely fundamentalist lunatics just ripe for plucking!
The days of the week are evil because they honor the sun, the moon, Mars, Mercury, Thor, Venus, and Saturn!
No, they're held in honor of people whose only ability is to entertain other people by doing silly activities.
It's really pathetic, but it's not like I'm paying for it. Much.
Sometimes, I read a post on fstdt, and I think to myself, "There is no way in hell they actually mean this. This is just stupid. They must be joking. This guy is just trying to be funny. Haha."
...and then, I realize I am wrong, and I proceed to weep for the future of our species.
HAH! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! That is a fucking classic! What a loon.
Typical fundie arrogance though. Everything has to be connected to God, Jesus or Satan. Nothing can just be what it is, it all has to relate back to their personal obsession. Arrogant, deluded asshats.

The Sanskrit word Jivah has one meaning of 'The Supreme Being' so there may have been a similar Proto-Indo European word which both these of are derived from ,the only problem with this however is that Yahweh or Jehovah is a Semitic word and so strictly speaking comes from a different language group,having said that it may be a word 'borrowed' from Proto-Indo European.
Well, yeah, the Olympics are evil. They take 24 of the crappiest sports known to man, plus an under-21s football tournament, and waste a shedload of our taxes on them. Loada crap. Nothing to do with Zeus, though.
On which topic, the ancient Greeks did have female athletic contests, and yes, they did compete nude. Of course, male spectators weren't allowed, but I hear Sappho was a big fan.
As someone who lives in BC, I'll admit the Olympics are evil, but for a million other reasons than Zeus.
I'm really hoping for some nasty shakedown in 2010. Maybe some European dignitaries will get lost and end up in Vancouver's East End. Maybe there will be no snow. Maybe the provinces finances will implode by then. Maybe Campbell will go completely off his nut and declare himself god-king. I don't know, but I'm really hoping for something.

Seconded
@Antichrist: Well one of the athletes died during a practice run on the luge course. Does that count?
I still consider the athletes, for the most part, to be worth my time far more than people like Larry here.
Here's another one who can't be bothered with the Olympics. Sure, it's nice for the boys and girls to win, but what is it to me?
A winter-olympics in the nude? I know it's uncommonly warm in Vancouver, but I bet it's still VERY cold if you don't have any clothes on.
It will probably be like the statue of Poseidon in the town where I'm from.
(Although, if you stand at the right angle, the fish can be viewed as a very different feature, and the god in question looks much more "enthusiastic"...)
Over here the days of the week are mostly Aesir/pagan; the day of the moon, of Tyr, Odin, Thor and Freja. Then comes the day to wash yourself, and then the day of the sun.
You're just jealous that China kicked your arses in Beijing in 2008, and you're currently behind Germany in the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics.
(Go Canada! Finally getting gold on home territory, exorcising the demons of Montreal & Calgary, in the men's Moguls & women's Snowboard Cross; here's hoping your Ice Hockey team get gold too. There's a new Red Machine to deal with!).
I trust you'll be beaten by China again when it's our turn in 2012 London.

Naked Beach Volleyball? Stop it, you're turning me on. (and 'twould be a helluva sight in our Olympics indeed; I'm still trying to get my head around the fact that our venue for the Beach Volleyball is on Horseguards' Parade - used once a year for the Trooping of the Colour, and rest of the time as a car park for those at the Ministry of Defence & MI5 at Whitehall!).
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
