Education can challenge it. Independent thought can weaken it. Exchange of ideas can dilute it. Superior humanistic values can replace it. Critical thinking shows one the way out of it. Science deletes its miracles. Visible atheists unravel the strawman. Equal rights undermine its hierarchy. I hope I can be around to see the many-mansion'd-house-of-cards tumble down when the steadfast process of seeking truth and embracing reality deals its final blow against the superstitious and unquestioning. Won't even need an iron chariot! Nothing warms my atheist heart more than to see the endless clues in stories about the religious how fragile their faith is.

I hope I can be around to see the many-mansion’d-house-of-cards tumble down when the steadfast process of seeking truth and embracing reality deals its final blow against the superstitious and unquestioning.

Won’t even need an iron chariot!

I can't see anyone above who's given an opinion on that, and wtf has it got to do with taking the piss out of islam? You're obviously not aware that there are no laws against holocaust denial in the UK - but why would you see it as a good thing that you could 'downplay the holocaust' anyway? Double standard my arse - you're just a retarded anti-semite. Kalam – what do you mean ‘nobody’?

If, as soon as someone says something which someone else finds offensive, you say, 'the practical limit to free speech is just before that', then you're saying freedom of speech is wrong. You can't have it both ways.
