With all due respect to the laws (religious or otherwise) of other countries, i'm glad i'm not religious. (Not that i have any particular inappropriate interest in holy icons..)
CALCUTTA, India (Reuters) - Indian police are investigating a complaint against an award-winning author after he wrote he had been sexually aroused in his youth by clay idols of a revered Hindu goddess, a police officer says.
Police acted after a complaint was filed by a former police officer against Sunil Gangopadhyay, who has written over 250 books in the Bengali language, alleging he had hurt the sentiments of Hindus by referring to Saraswati, the goddess of learning and knowledge, in a sexual manner.
"We have received a complaint and launched an investigation. Suitable action will be taken," Additional Superintendent of Police Chanchal Dutta said on Wednesday in Calcutta, the capital of communist-ruled West Bengal state.
Dutta said Gangopadhyay could be charged with offending religious sentiments, which is a criminal offence punishable with up to two years imprisonment and/or a fine.

Lame.
And I don't feel any remorse for imposing my western values on this either.
Religion is just taken way too far. |
