For Blasphemy Day

Today is International Blasphemy Day -- a day for denigrating, mocking, and denouncing deeply-held spiritual beliefs of every kind!  The day is observed every September 30, commemorating the publication of the Danish Muhammad cartoons in 2005.  It is our absolute right, as part of freedom of expression, to criticize and undermine religion just like any other kind of ideology, in whatever way we choose.

I'm not up to posting much right now -- a flare-up of an old joint-inflammation problem means that I'm having to type mostly left-handed, which greatly slows me down.  But I can't let such an important day pass unobserved.  You can find plenty of relevant material in my posts from 2023, 2024, and 2025.  You might also like these:
