I feel that all examples that been listed in "We are Free to be You, Me, Stupid, and Dead," were all great examples for controversial and offensive acts besides one.

One of the more apt comments on the use of the religion analogy stems from Frow, “The religious relation exists midway between a dead metaphor and a theory which has yet to find itself” (1998, 200). Using relevant literature on Presley (Harrison 1992; Spiegel 1990; Vikan 1994; Rodman 1996) and Rudolf Otto’s notion of religious experience, Frow seeks to find the right approach to understand the “cult of dead celebrity”…

In order to speak to the dead, Odysseus slays the ram so they can drink the blood in order for them to communicate. We can see how the dead constantly moan on that island about their sad life and fear of death before dying. Odysseus met souls who were soldiers in war and have requested Odysseus to give them a proper burial when he returns.
