My view is:

If your god is unable to deal with mockers and thus you feel the need to
avenge on his behalf, then you need a new god...

Applies to all religions where people get in a tizzy about stuff...

It's got nothing to do with gods. It's actually about fools that are
actually stupid enough to end up dead for something as trivial as that.

Quite. One of the things I would have liked to have lived to see
was when we reached a sufficient degree of education on a global
scale for all religions and other such primitive superstitions to
spontaneously disappear up their own mythological fundaments

Rather unlikely tho given the last few millennia of history.

- because until that happens we will never
have any hope of peace and co-existence.

It remains to be seen if that is even possible.

It looks as though I will be disappointed
- we're still a long way off.

Yeah, the god botherers are still by far the majority.

Least they don’t get to burn us at the stake anymore.
