Fickle Humans

Ok, here we go slipping and sliding headlong into the maeltrom of the most controversial yet enduring facets of humanity. A little apprehensive? Maybe. Well, why not; for nothing is beyond the realms of discussion, especially when it's so indelibly stitched into the human fabric. God made man in his own image, and Allah summoned Mohammed to haeven on a winged horse. There should be a mention of YWHW destroying humanity in a manner also described in the Epic of Gilgamesh. Thats a bit of a mouthful for a start.

Where would social and scientific norms be without religion?

Does religion dictate morality?

The answer to this a vague "it depends."

In Shitoism, a sexual orgasm is handled pretty much as a state of spirtual enlightenment.

Try talking about sex in coservative Abrahamic faith circles and the disapproval will have you crossing over Mecca and Jerusalem and all the way to the most hedonistic clubs of Berlin. Should it be thus though? Humanity not only loves sex, it needs to be candid and expressive about it. Entire industries have sprung up because someone lusted over another and needed the ways and means to entertain and cater to their whims. One could say that lust and covetousness drives commerce.

Yet they are sins.

What's a sin anyway? The most fervently religious of countries (including the US) seem to be remarkably tolerant of economic corruption as long as their one single issue is met. In the once sexually liberal continent of Africa, the citizenry still ascribe to Victorian era societal norms. In the same countries, it's common to have political leaders getting away with literal bloody murder. Yet the LGBTQA+ are the enemy that must never be allowed to fester over the corrupt wound of Africa, for the almighty gods decreed thus in a myriad holy books.

Certainly not graft, or paedophilia by clergy because they get prayed over and cleansed. Wait, but don't the poor hit the jailyards because of such trifles, and for a long time too? Well, your social status dictates justice because that's how it's supposed to be, heathens!

Healthcare? Nope. Everyone pays, and the elite "travel abroad" for treatment.

They'll steal from their own homes and not even have the decency to sweep the backyard, because they can! Because leaders are chosen by god!

It's almost as if nobody voted.

Of course the only issues that exist are social ones.

Probably some nations need to drink the water that turns frogs gay so that they can emerge from their self-imposed intellectual cocoons.

Who knows?

Enjoy the open road.
