While some fans loved this unabashed display of French camp and kitsch, others — particularly those who espouse conservative or Christian beliefs — were not happy with it.

            So you guys just do it for fun, then?

              I haven’t committed terrorism, I don’t plan on committing terrorism, I don’t support committing terrorism, so I won’t defend those who are committing terrorism. And you’re right, it is a worse reason.

          Yes, because condemning terrorism is also terrorism. Do you guys even hear yourself?

      That’s because other religions are minorities in the West and get too much hate and vitriol as it is.

          Really? They fully declared the performance was unquestionably for Christians? Not everything in the world is about Jesus.

          Rejecting your religion’s bigotry is not “singling you out”.
