    Mmm yeah. David Icke, I'm looking at you.

    People like David Icke have always fascinated me.

    On the one hand you could just dismiss them as the loonies that they sound like. But then again, David Icke and people like him build up a following of people who are willing to support him financially and he can actually live off the proceeds of the insanity he peddles.

    So is he actually stupid and a lunatic, or is he just someone willing to cynically exploit the gullibility of people and cash in on that, regardless of what it does to his reputation? It wouldn't be my choice of career, and I wouldn't be able to live with the idea that on the back of the insanity that I'm peddling somebody, somewhere, might end up doing something stupid to themselves or, worse, to their kids (look up Lyn Benedetto, for example).

    But if you're a callous, psychopathic bar steward who doesn't care WHAT happens to your followers then I can see how this kind of a "career" can seem attractive even if you're not actually insane enough to buy into the bullpoop that you're selling yourself ....

    This happened in Greece

    Ugh. That's what happens when we allow religion-specific notions such as "blasphemy" to be generalised out into something that would be applicable even to people outside the religion itself. It makes no sense.

    There are already laws out there that should cover anti-social behaviour toward religious people. These are the same laws that cover anti-social behaviour toward ANYONE.

    There are laws against inciting hatred, there are laws against harassment, there are laws against defamation, there are laws against trespassing, there are laws against causing public disturbances, etc, etc, etc. If somebody makes enough of a nuisance of him- or herself while confronting a religion they will undoubtedly cross the line on one or more of these laws and legal action can be taken on that basis. There is no need to invoke yet another, special law JUST for the protection of the feelings of the religious among us.
