The fact that unbelievers mock and scorn the one who died for them comes as no surprise. The whole "externalisation of the hierarchy" thing is old news now. The point is that is has gone no far as the ice-cream our kids eat shows how they wish to make "scoffing" the new normal.Brilliant! Dupe gullible religious people into being a major portion of your marketing team that all unwittingly work for free. If I was unethical I might exploit peoples' beliefs the same way. It's too easy.
For real though, I don't get it. It is very frustrating to me that there is an epidemic of satanic cultists involved in unimaginably horrible crimes such as murdering babies and yet people are still worried about mockery of their religion. Seems to me we need to set aside this focus upon the provocative branding of their product, stop being so selfishly distracted by "omg blasphemy though" and get to the point of finding out if there is any involvement in any actual criminal activity or not. The whole paranoid religious fear of satan aspect needs to be left out of it entirely or else it's dangerously close to once again being swept under the rug and labeled a repetition of early modern witch hunts or "satanic panic" since no one will take it seriously, and rightly so.
I mean.. If in reality they are only guilty of mockery and selling ice cream, then who cares? The only reason someone would be upset over mockery of their religious beliefs, is that they do not like to be shown their own beliefs so plainly. Mockery of any and all belief should not be bothersome whatsoever, and is always welcomed by honest seekers. It is only bothersome to those who want to avoid seeing their own beliefs since they would prefer that their beliefs tell them what to see instead.
None of this current trend shocks me at all!
