This kind of puritanical worldview has now taken over so many aspects of culture.
If you said a joke 10 years ago, i.e. blasphemed against some sacred topic, you can't host the Oscars anymore.
It was stupid then and it's stupid now. It sure looks like humans need to fill the void of religion with something.
- option 7y agothere is no void. Plenty of humans (myself included) live not only without believing in god but without a need to believe. “It’s easy if you try” I think what is needed is some basic education and security in life.

- fareesh 7y agoMy comment was less about religion as belief in God and more about religion as its societal impact. Humans who believed in something with devotional fervor instituted blasphemy laws and censorship. Today's humans believe in other things with equal zealotry and are utilizing the same tyrannical solutions.
