    The last person – so far – to be hanged for blasphemy in Great Britain was a Scot who announced he had become a muslim. It was probably a joke, but Scottish calvinists were never famous for their sense of humour.

    It’s a character-building exercise.

    Doesn’t Mo deny the divinity of Jesus? Doesn’t Jesus deny that the Quran is the last testament of God? Are they being mutually blasphemous? Surely not.

    Enlightenment & LOGIC v Islam, Freedom of speech v closed minds, SCIENCE v supersticious ignorance. I have capitalised the elements that religious minds are allergic to…

    Punishment is deferred until later, after you’ve expired. At this point, all that’s left is your soul, and that was but fantasy – so as such, it’s in the hands of the fantasy deity.

    Many years ago a man approached me offering religious instruction, and I learned then that one may blaspheme away, and yet be forgiven. Just one exception – no blaspheming the holy ghost. I’m not sure if I have or haven’t, it’s sort of an obscure idea.

    Clearly, with Islam the punishment is NOT deferred…since quite a high proportion of Islamists are in agreement with the termination of your existance for calling their prophet a charlatan murdering psychopath….

    As Orwell predicted in 1984, the implication of “Thought crime” is truly dystopian…I think the world that Orwell envisaged is here now…in 2024…

    If anyone thinks that I amn’t divine,
    He gets no free drinks when I’m making the wine
    But have to drink water and wish it were plain
    That I make when the wine becomes water again.

    The most blasphemous sign/slogan by the U.S. Government: Smokey the Bear. It not only shows a talking bear but claims that only YOU, not God, can prevent forest fires.

    It is particularly ridiculous for a Christian to call for a book to be banned because it mentions talking animals. By that score, the Bible should be banned, and in particular the story of Balaam’s ass in the book of Numbers.

    Peter:
    1. Only you can prevent forest fires.
    2. Smokey the Bear can prevent forest fires.
    3. You are not Smokey the Bear.
    Choose at most two.

    A group of friars were behind on their belfry payments, so they opened up a small florist shop to raise funds. Since everyone liked to buy flowers from the men of God, the rival florist across town thought the competition was unfair. So, the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, the roughest and most vicious thug in town to “persuade” them to close. Terrified, they did so – thereby proving that Hugh, and only Hugh, can prevent florist friars.

    It seems il Papa, the inerrant voice and principal primate of the RCC, regarding the acceptance of lgbtq as priests, has issued an apology for saying there are already enough frocciaggine in the Catholic semenaries. Given that Italian is a second language for him one could forgive his use of a rarely used slur. Had it been King Charles III, of the CofE, he would likely have used cockwombles to refer to those unseemly deviates who would seek to hold a powerful seat in the church. https://religionnews.com/2024/05/28/pope-francis-apologizes-for-using-homophobic-slurs-while-saying-no-to-gay-priests/

    The link I supplied, above, refers to “flamboyant” gay attitudes. Let it be known that “flamboyant” refers to what happens to your flam when you are in the bathtub.
