    Today is International Blasphemy Day.

    Origin:
    Blasphemy Day is celebrated on September 30 to coincide with the anniversary of the publication of satirical drawings of Muhammad in one of Denmark's newspapers, resulting in the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy. Although the caricatures of Muhammad caused some controversy within Denmark, especially among Muslims, it became a widespread furor after Muslim imams in several countries stirred up violent protests in which Danish embassies were firebombed and over 100 people killed
    Quoted from Wikipedia

    What are your thoughts?

    1. Is there any blasphemy which appeals to you?

    2. Was there any benefit made by the blasphemy in question?


    My answers below:

    1. Is there any blasphemy which appeals to you?
    Film: Life of Brian
    Below: Interview of John Cleese discussing the film on Friday Night, Saturday Morning in 1979

    2. Was there any benefit made by the blasphemy in question?
    Helped erode some of the power the Christian church had over people. Helped remove the taboo of criticising and ridiculing the Christian church.

    Blaspheming religion gives it too much attention. Ignore it and it may some day go away.

    I like the italian blasphemy, nice ring to Dio Cane.

    Just remember if your doing it for atheistic purposes 'Religious peoples blasphemy the most because they are closer to got and don't worry about offending him'
