Still relevant today, and lots of similarities with extreme/conservative Christians in the US too (both directly through insane and backwards laws and instruction through accepted fear tactics and an apathy for violence against women and “others”), with it all justified through scripture one way or another, which they think gives them the right to dismiss critical thinking, compassion, common sense, and empathy.
