Why can’t it never be warm spaghetti? 😭
Lemmy and its users accusing other users of political affiliations without basis while pretending it’s disgusting, name a more iconic duo.
Pretty much since their inception, although it has waxed and waned with public perception.
It started out strong for a little while until people got used to the idea, as they did with pretty much everything. But it’s still not a religious taboo per se. That’s simply resistance to change and fear of the unknown, but it was not as extreme as other taboos with life-changing consequences.
What do you mean by pedophilia is a taboo? Religions like Islam and Christianity allow large age gaps in marriage. Wasn’t the Virgin Mary like 13 when she got knocked up by Joseph and blamed it on the Holy Spirit? Mohammed married Aisha when she was six at the age of 40, and a lot of the Islamic culture revolves around arranged marriages that allow it. And those are only the dominant religions. I’m sure we can find more examples in the lesser ones because the concept of childhood and its sanctity is not that old.
The Madonna–whore complex is attributed to Freud, who coined it in the 60s. How was it ever a religious taboo?
Whichever the case, we’re burying the lede: where’s the interplay between secularism and religiosity that informs one another among all these?
Vaccines? Has that ever been a taboo? That’s a general and recent attitude.
Alright, fair with cannibalism being frowned upon. I still can’t think of many more significant examples.
Do you have examples? If that were true, religious taboos would be more rational.
I mean, a lot of religions don’t particularly denounce cannibalism. Catholicism is famously based on eating the flesh of Christ, and it’s repeated in every Sunday mass. And the Christian Bible also makes several references to incest, like with the story of Lot and his daughters.
It means nothing. It’s a throwaway phrase meant for people to repeat and find in things that have the number, but it means nothing beyond that. It’s part of internet brainrot culture, essentially.


Do nothing to not waste time! Got it, thank you.
Like what? I can understand something like cannibalism and incest resulting in some diseases, which is fair, although they’re not exclusive to religion. But most typical religious taboos are harmless and arguably more harmful to society for no good reason.


Whoa, that’s deeper than deep space, bro. *exhales*


Well, there’s a stronger case being made every day for flinging ourselves into the sun.

“My religion prohibits it!”
THEN DON’T FUCKING DO IT.
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.


I also want Colorado, but for it to be an even bigger rectangle, the biggest it can possibly be. I’m willing to give up some Mexican territory for this.


I don’t wish him death, but I also don’t wish him a calm and peaceful one.


Whoa, that’s mind-blowing. I always wondered what kind of jobs there would be for me if I suddenly lost my vision.


I appreciate that you used a tilde. “Si” is an entirely different word.
