I do not believe God requires us to defend Him from symbols in art and entertainment. Instead, He implored us to defend the poor, needy, vulnerable and downtrodden. What happens in the Olympics opening ceremonies is insignificant; what happens with programs for seniors, how the Federal government treats immigrants, and whether we cut the safety net for those living on the margins matters more--or should, at least.
