Frightening

In Defence Of Reason:
"From yesterday it has been illegal to blaspheme in Ireland. Essentially, it is forbidded to be 'grossly abusive or insulting in relation to matters held sacred by any religion, thereby causing outrage among a substantial number of the adherents of that religion' given the fact you 'intend, by the publication of the matter concerned, to cause such outrage.”"
I am frankly shocked that nobody here in the US has thought of this. I know that it would be unconstitutional but that wouldn't stop some of the loonier christianists (a group distinct from Christians)

Not moderated but I do delete spam and I would rather that people not act like assholes.
