Easy no-bake recipe for Blasphemy: Proclaim Your Religion!

January 12, 2010

The new law in Ireland finds a person guilty of blasphemy if “he or she publishes or utters matter that is grossly abusive or insulting in relation to matters held sacred by any religion, thereby causing outrage among a substantial number of the adherents of that religion.”

Easy no-bake recipe for blasphemy

a substantial number of believers in monotheistic Religion A
a substantial number of believers in monotheistic Religion B
one egg of proclaiming one’s belief on God

Carefully separate the egg of proclaiming one’s belief in God, discarding the white shapeless matter of "all people really worship the same god". Then take any random believer in religion A who likes the yolk of faith and blend well with the believers of religion B. Stand back while the spontaneous heat of insulted people rises and hardens into outrage. To double the recipe, simply mix the same blend of a believer in religion B with those of A.

Why this recipe is so easy: The statement "My God exists" is heard as "Your God doesn’t exist" by believers of a rival monotheistic religion.

Atheists didn’t invent blasphemy—Religion invented blasphemy, and continues to use it as a weapon to this day. The biggest blasphemers are religious people.

Oh, by the way, "No gods exist".
