A religion that shows no respect deserves and gets no respect.

There's a very interesting story about Aiisa (აიისა) - the first condom-producing company in conservative Georgia that I learned from a book Pokazucha. Na gruzińskich zasadach by Stasia Budzisz. You better fasten your seatbelts:

The first Georgian company that produces condoms was founded in 2017 and immediately became famous. Aiisa has set itself the goal of fighting stereotypes about sex and sexuality - that what is declared on its Facebook profile. It encourages potential buyers with Georgian accents. On the packaging there are: a statue of Mother Georgia, which towers over the capital with the inscription: I do not want to be your mother!, two fingers in a condom folded as if for an Orthodox blessing; Queen Tamara in ecstasy with the inscription: Tamara's Royal Entrance and the slogans Sex with ex, Say no to hand job.

There is also a political series: Stal In, Kim Chan In or Put In. By the way, the latter politician has several variations: with an umbrella and the slogan Every dick needs protection (this is an occasional condom, introduced on the market on the 10th anniversary of the so-called Five-Day-War) and on a horse with the slogan: Old Russian athletic man riding many dirty ways.

Aiisa did not get away with battling the monotony of the condom market. On March 20, 2018, the Patriarchate of the Georgian Orthodox Church accused the company of offending the feelings of believers, blasphemy and immoral behavior. The Tbilisi City Hall, at the instigation of the right-wing nationalist group Georgian Idea, took the case to court. In April, students from the Georgian Theological Seminary came out to protest against "obscene" condoms. They gathered outside the former parliament building on Rustaveli Avenue and called on the state to protect Christian society from insults. The inhabitants of Kutaisi in the western part of Georgia came to the rescue and demanded that the owners of the company be punished. In May, a court in Tbilisi ruled that Aiisa's company offends national morality and dignity. He imposed a fine of 500 lari on it for using the image of Tamara, whom the Georgian Orthodox Church included among the saints, and ordered the withdrawal of several iconoclastic designs from sale.

The company has not recalled any of the models and continues to sell them online for 3.30 lari, but for a while safe sex became an ideological battlefield in Georgia.

That's all I got. It's like the last thing I'd expect happening in a conservative country. And I'd say it's a good theme for a book if not for the fact that I read it in a book😆 Now you can easily Google for more about it! And also check out Aiisa facebook profile, their stuff would make great collectibles😉

Anyway I can't imagine anything of this scale in Poland (we also have Blasphemy Law but it's just enough to put a rainbow halo on the Mother Mary from Częstochowa to get arrested at 6:10 a.m. Final verdict of District Court's is that - what a surprise! - "rainbow is not offending" but still it took almost 3 years and a lot of shit on the way: see this article on oko.press and links inside it too)

MANY PEOPLE, SOME OF WHOM HAPPEN TO BE RACIST: it is a very bad thing that in many parts of the world, people are hegemonically encouraged to do terrible things in the name of honor, like dueling over obscure conflicts, or enforcing blasphemy laws, or, perhaps worst of all, murdering members of their families for having sex or being raped. this state of affairs is ongoing and should stop as soon as possible

TUMBLR USER TXTTLETALE, HAVING FLIPPED A COIN AND DECIDED TO BE STUPID TODAY: um. did you just do a hecking Sinophobia? you realize we can all tell that you're trying to complain about China specifically, right? I bet you think Chinese people have something inherently wrong with their genes or their skull shape. literally all cultures have a concept of honor dumbass. you're just trying to say we should all be a shameless degenerate society. what you're complaining about is normal and good and everyone does it. [kisses glossy framed photograph of chairman mao and puts on comically oversized sleepy times cap] good night chairman mao good night china zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

if you think that 'honour killings' happen because of 'honour' and not misogyny then it's pretty much over for you. i do do that thing with chairman mao every time i go to bed though its creepy how you knew that

#ask #same for enforicng blasphemy laws lol those exist as tools of state and religious repression not because of some nebuluos concept of honour #common idealism L

Countries with blasphemy laws

A blasphemy law is a law prohibiting 🚫 blasphemy, which is the act of "insulting or showing contempt or lack of reverence" to a deity, or sacred objects, or toward something considered sacred 🌿🙏 or inviolable.

According to Pew Research Center, about a quarter of the world's 🌍 countries and territories (26%) had anti-blasphemy laws or policies as of 2014 📅 In some states, blasphemy laws ⚖️ are used to protect the religious beliefs of a majority, while in other countries, they serve to offer protection 🛡️ of the religious beliefs of minorities

"Your religion does not prohibit me from anything. It prohibits you. Learn the difference."

Your religion applies to you.

I can't stop thinking about the young pope nude, only wearing his Mitre and perctoral cross, hand on his hip and hand out waiting for me to kiss it. His piercing blue eyes looking down at me with disgust I can't touch him only kiss his hand and feet.
