Another sign of "decadence" is that we're losing our
sense of humor when it comes to religion. But I hope this is only a "temporary phenomenon" and we'll regain our healthy capacity to ease the tension soon.
Before Islamic issues came to our lives (accompanied by the
political correctness mafia), we didn't use to dramatize religious affairs. But now we're all too serious, nervous, sometimes even aggresive (at least verbally), and we frequently lose our temper. And that's not good. I miss the "old times", when, for instance, a film director could make a comedy about religion, like Monty Python's
Life of Brian or
The Meaning of Life.
Someone has to
break the taboo again, and it's better to do it with humour. We all should smoke a joint as this Australian man did. Choose the book you prefer: Bible, Quran, a Buddhist one, or an atheist or agnostic one if you like, etc...
