Is blasphemous Music ok?

Religion as worst thing ever?  Some numbers.  China Moa 60 million dead.  Russia Stalin, 14 million.  Cambodia Pol Pot 7 million.  That's the medal podium and just the 20th century, just internal civil wars over a secular principal.  I'm seeing a pattern there and no religion needed.  Oh the Crusades you say... tiny by comparison and the Church was the only entity that could unite Europe's nation-states to repel the Ottoman empire.  It was an existential threat that required something in common to rally them around.  

@akgwhiz I can’t resist quoting the great Norm Macdonald:

”600 or 6 million, it’s still terrible.”

@tylermunns, agreed.  But zero death and destruction with billions of people on the planet is never gonna happen.  I'm responding to the use of the superlative word "worst".  It's a clearly biased point that uses that word, and that trope.  And demonstrably worthy of correction.

Back to OPs question.  If you deem it as blasphemous then you prob do not view it as OK.  If you are agnostic you prob don't see it as such, thus OK.  But agreed there are lots of "shock" intentions in the arts.  Shock sells.  

@akgwhiz That Norm quote was a joke, and I quoted it as a joke.  The joke is intended to mock those who act as apologists for murderous campaigns of any sort.

I wouldn’t go so far as to say the statement, “religion is the worst thing ever,” is one that is, “demonstrably worthy of correction.”

It is fine to bring up instances in human history where genocide was committed without religion as it’s guiding principle for the purpose of debate.

However, thousands of years of stark, indisputable evidence as to the depravity and evil brought upon the human race in the name of religion speaks for itself.

We’re in the middle of it right now, in 2022, when publicly elected officials explicitly denounce the separation of church and state, proudly call themselves “Christian Nationalists,” attempt to systematically revoke our individual rights on religious terms, explicitly express their desire to force their religion on our children (forcing them to be born into poverty and destitution because they took away our right to abortion, forcing their religion down our children’s throats with “Don’t Say Gay” bills, calling for prayer in public school, working to keep our children in danger by supporting the NRA over their safety) and Salmon Rushdie is currently on a ventilator and may lose an eye from an attempted murder over a book he wrote 35 years ago.  

Providing 'Shock' to some people is also what art has an obligation to sometimes do. Art should be more than just pretty pictures and songs. 

Perfectly legitimate, as not everybody will have that reaction; what shocks you might make me yawn and vice versa.

I like the quote 'Art is not a mirror, art is a hammer'.
