Bure, a devout Christian, expressed her displeasure with a portion of the opening ceremony that appeared to represent Leonardo da Vinci’s painting of the Last Supper.
The actress, who shared her thoughts on Instagram, said while she has respect for the Olympics because she knows several Olympic athletes, this year it made her “so sad.”
“And someone said, ‘You shouldn’t be sad. You should be mad about it.’ And I’m like, ‘Trust me. It makes me mad.’ But I’m more sad, because I’m sad for souls.”
“So this is my encouragement to you,” she said. “Don’t get tired of doing good. Keep sharing the gospel. And it’s not just for the people that like openly mock God. There’s so many people – there’s Christians out there that say, ‘Well I’m a Christian, it didn’t really bother me.’ Those people need to hear the gospel too. It’s the ones that are lukewarm about it that may think like, ‘Ah – I don’t want to ruffle any feathers. Live and let live. Let people do what they want. I’m just gonna stay in my corner and be quiet about it.’”
Since sharing her thoughts, Bure acknowledged that many people have attempted to correct her interpretation of the opening ceremony, but she did not believe it.
