LOL at blasphemy.
I feel the same, but the US literally outlaws it on TV.
Take a look at 31: https://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/the-68-words-you-cant-say-on-tv
54 being 69 hurts my brain
Jesus Christ what a Goddamn backward shithole.
39 what a 31 backwards 53hole.
It’s ridiculous how some people disregard things like blasphemy. You’d think Atheists who believe in science would know better at least.
I am religious but not in an extreme way. I don’t care what is shown or what others think.
But if something on TV is blasphemous, it would upset A LOT of people. That isn’t an opinion, it is simply a fact, like it or not.
If the majority of the world is going to be religious, it will have to be catered to, or else a lot of people will make a fuss.
If you want to protect other people’s hurt feelings so much to include “they made fun of my sky-owner!”, then you’d surely want to include Vegans, trans, blind, gay, onelegged and people with allergies…
Or is it just about YOUR feelings that are important for the rest of the world to pamper? 😉
What do atheists have to do with this? You can find at least two people who disagree on where the line is in the same church/temple/etc, much less the same religion. Hell, I know people who sit on the same pew and disagree on K-POP Demon Hunters. Taking the position that it’s all made up as they go sounds like they are the ones who know better. Just ask everyone who believes in a god to come to an agreement. Or take the easy route and slap a B on everything.
I find most things are generally just not offensive at all when it comes to religion just because they don’t include anything relating to it anyway.
Sure you can just slap a B on everything and it’ll sorta agree with what I originally said, in a way, except needlessly alienate some people? Is media not made for profit and trying to please as many consumers as possible?
Although, I guess it’ll trigger some of these people replying to my comments who like to go off at the mention of any religion lol
The flip side to your argument is what would be decided as blasphemy. A Mormon blasphemy could be different than a Catholic blasphemy but under the same warning.
We’re simply talking about a warning here, so I’d say for anything considered offensive to any religion?
It’s annoying watching a movie, just to have the more extreme religious people around you getting offended and going on a rant.
It would be great if it was more openly advertised so you could say “why are you watching it, if you’re just gonna get offended?” Pretty much the same as violence and sex.
If magic wands earn the same warning label as depictions of Mohammed the warning label is useless.
So you’re going to have to flag Teletubbies as blasphemous, since Jerry Falwell publicly condemned the show due to Tinky Winky.
If you’re just going to find any religious nutso to make your argument, I don’t think you’re really arguing in good faith.
I watched the Teletubies a lot in my teenage years with my baby sister and there was no mention of religion I can remember. Someone guy carrying a handbag is offensive to homophobes, nothing to do with religion at all.
This whole topic was about adding a B as part of warnings for media, to specifically warn people that might be upset if it happens to specifically be offensive about religion. I don’t see why that could be a bad thing when a quick Google search is saying 85% of the world is identifying as religious.
Violence, drug use, nudity exist, unlike your magic man in the sky.
Of course some will argue this, but it’s a belief at best.
And no you have no right to ask me to cater to your beliefs.
All these religions have their quirks and things not to do.
Can’t drink alcohol, can’t do shit on Saturday, wear this or that only for this occasion, can’t open a jar of pickles on your toilet, etc…
If someone from their own cult doesn’t do this, or say something about them, they can complain to them.
For the rest of the world it doesn’t exist and don’t need to be bothered with it.
Religions and cults imposing their ways on non-believers are a known part of history.
They have literally killed for it.
It is a matter of principle to not give in to any infringements of personal freedom.
No matter how little effort it would take.
I don’t care if that upsets you.
the majority of the world is unfortunately.
But “you have to bend because there’s more of us” is not an argument.
It is obnoxious at best if not threatening.
It’s a small step from “don’t say something bad about our invention you have nothing to do with” towards “follow these rules of our invention you have nothing to do with”
