re: #138 HappyWarrior

One man’s blasphemy is another man’s humor. There shouldn’t be blasphemy laws since frankly blasphemy is a bs construct. Lots of things I find offensive but that doesn’t mean I think the speech there of should be criminalized.

Right. Blasphemy is directed against ideas anyway. There is nothing wrong with criticizing theological concepts or make fun of them.

Steps should be taken to make sure that one criticizes or makes fun of the ideas (like Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism…) rather than large groups of different individuals (Christians, religious Jews, Muslims, Hindus), which is no longer blasphemy anyway, but that’s that. This desire to drag the rest of humanity back into the dark ages is despicable.
