It's telling that religious sects always focus on the control they gain from this kind of coercion and not what is lost. The general opinion seems to be, "It's ok as long as <i>my</i> flavor of delusion is protected from criticism. It's too bad that more people don't think it through the way Sarah did above, but she need not worry that the law will ever be applied with such an even hand.breakerslionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14327290369084118043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11975474.post-76310388215232695742009-07-18T01:24:01.668-07:002009-07-18T01:24:01.668-07:00This legislation scares the crap out of me. If it...This legislation scares the crap out of me. If it is referring to blaphemy of any religion, then, at a very long stretch, it could make practicing Christianity illegal itself. Jesus said "I am THE way, THE truth and THE life." To claim that your way and your religion are the only right way and religion could be seen as blaspheming in that it devalues all other religions and ways of life. <br />I'm probably just thinking too much at 4 in the morning, but I am completely against this legislation. God will deal with blasphemy in the end anyway. Why involve government in this religious issue? Why sacrifice this free speech?<br />"I [may] disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."Sarahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11975474.post-45025530905323430632009-07-14T15:48:14.668-07:002009-07-14T15:48:14.668-07:00Paul, would you be ok with this law if it conforme...Paul, would you be ok with this law if it conformed to YOUR version of blasphemy, or do you believe that this law is unjust, regardless of what religion's notion of "blasphemy" it conforms to (even yours)?Aaron Kinneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12059982934663353474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11975474.post-1951732813203435482009-07-10T21:46:29.676-07:002009-07-10T21:46:29.676-07:00As a Christian, specifically conservative Presbyte...As a Christian, specifically conservative Presbyterian (Reformed, Calvinist) my concern is who decides what is blasphemy and what is not. In Reformed Theology blasphemous? Is Roman Catholic theology blasphemous? Should we all be Baptist?<br /><br />I think I would like to see a little bit more clarification before I sign up for that.<br /><br />Paul C. QuillmanPaul C.
