For Blasphemy Day

It's International Blasphemy Day -- a day to denigrate, mock, and denounce 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 our freedom of expression, to criticize and undermine this most poisonous and absurd class of ideologies, in whatever way we choose.

  2. Infidel, I always support the right of others to vehemently disagree, including about matters of faith. (Assuming that violence doesn't follow.) Ironically, there are many of the memes you posted that I actually agree with. Further irony, it was science that lead me from my own atheism to belief in a Creator. ;)

  3. Many good quotes. I'll have to remember that reverse exorcism line. Ha!

  4. Lady M: Glad you enjoyed it. This is one special day I always plan ahead to post for.

    Darrell: I appreciate your endorsement of free expression even when it goes against your own views. The world would be a lot more peaceful if everyone could do that, but unfortunately many can't -- as the reaction to the original Muhammad cartoons showed.

    Carol: The reverse exorcism quote was inspired. Religion in general has been a source of fear and incredulity for many of the greatest minds throughout history.
