@ Ed.

Your strike me as a non-thiest.

Example:
Ask a Buddhist if he believe’s in god he’ll say “no”.
Ask a Christian if he believe’s in god he’ll say “yes”.
Ask a non-theist if he believe’s in god he’ll say “are you going to finish eating that?”

Your spokesman stated of the new blasphemt law that “it is dangerous because it incentives religious outrage”. Leaving aside the fact that this is barely literate — presumably the word he intended to use was “incitivises” — and assuming that I know what he means, I must presume that blaspemy.ie must also oppose all attempts to enact equality laws for homosexualists as worldwide all they have done is to incentivise homosexual outrage in the face of even the merest criticism of their lifestyle and HIV/Aids inducing prctices?

If a Catholic priest states that Protestants hold incorrect religious beliefs and that they will suffer God’s wrath because of those incorrect beliefs, can he be prosecuted under the new blasphemy law? How about if he says the same thing about Islam? Or Scientologists?

Greetings from the USA…

I hope that you fight the good fight on this issue. I wish I could support you financially. Unfortunately, I cannot since I have been without a job for the past year due to the wonderful economic policies (sarcasm intended) of George W. Bush.

I am still trying to decide whether I am a humanist, agnostic, or atheist. However, I do know that I am a nonbeliever.

“Those who are behind the current dissent in the country are mohareb (enimies of God) and should be put to death” Ayatolla Vaez-Tabasi ~ Iran.
I can not help but see some similarities here.
And more: anyone can insult a defenless child to tears and it’s perfectly legal. But talk smack about “The All Powerful” and find yourself in deep shit with his cleric thugs?
I like Stephen Pearson’s idea ~ I’ll start a new religion finding offense with the powdered wig-hats the barristers (still) wear in court.

Better watch your step folks, I’m forming a new religion. We haven’t got many members yet, but I’m sure we’ll take Ireland by storm. Our central philosophy is that the colour yellow was created by the sin of man, and the wearing of a garment coloured yellow is an insult of the highest order.
Our outrage at seeing so many people in Ireland ignore our sacred beliefs knows no bounds, and we will stop at nothing to have this blasphemous practise stamped out with the aid of our friends, the Irish government. We plan to take every case of blasphemy we meet to court and distribute our righteous earnings amongst our members! None shall be spared!
