dt’s puritanical values

[Flamegrape]

Well, we could have a morality police force like they do in some muslim countries. I used to think it was just a joke from a Monty Python sketch (“the Church Police”). But it turns out the some countries like Saudi Arabia have morality policemen patrol public place, looking out for deviant behaviour. The Taliban has taken it to extremes, as you may have seen in the news lately. They use football stadiums for public executions. Offences include adultery, promiscuity, and homosexuality.

Is this what we want? Hell, no! Institutions of morality must not have legal enforcement powers. Church and State do not mix. The Taliban represents the most extreme form of this mixture.

So we can’t force morality on people. What do you suggest we do?
