The Singapore law isn’t about hurting a god’s feelings, it’s about hurting the feelings of believers by insulting their gods or their religion or whatever. It’s partly yet another Singaporean ban on being impolite in public, and partly a “don’t say anything that’ll make the Muslims pissed off because they tend to riot” (not that other groups don’t also, but they’re much more sensitive than most of the Chinese religions, especially the ones with lots of gods that you can take or leave), and of course if you’re disrespectful to religions, you might also be disrespectful to politicians, and we just can’t have that.
Yes, it’s still a violation on freedom of speech, and has no place in a civilized legal system. And yeah, the kid’s being an asshole, as many teenagers do, but it’s not the government’s business.
