It's pure folly that's at work here.
On the one hand, those in charge of defining and enforcing laws are bent on penalising and criminalising more and more anything that does not fit in with their religious convictions, while at the same time maintaining a supposedly open attitude towards the practice of religions other than their own.
On the other hand, we have a world facing a serious crisis, killing each other over ever-increasing consumption and population, with diminishing resources and the inevitable decline that will go with them.
And while part of the world lacks everything, people are spending crazy amounts of money to have a child at any price, with a profusion of technology.
It's a state of affairs that's really hard to understand for a French person like me, who was brought up in a secular republic founded since the French Revolution on the separation of powers and above all of religion and the State.
It's a dramatic observation I'm making, of a world that is losing itself in its generalised madness and no longer even manages to respect itself as humanity.
