As a very devout Christian, I must say: YAWN. I did not find any of these comments to be even slightly offensive, or even funny. As for post number 1054, it was Homer Simpson, not Peter Griffin (remember, he was high off Mary Jane for his eyes, when Ned Flanders came over?).
I must say, though, that I disagree with the Anti-Blasphemy Law; it is as lame as your attempts to protest it.
God Bless!
(By the way, “There is no God and Jesus never existed.” Still alive. Still Christian. Still saved. Yep.)

We need to end the stranglehold the church has on this country. I am a catholic but find it unbelievable in this day and age that the angelas is played before the R.T.E. 6 o clock news, that pubs are closed on good friday that the catholic church THE IRISH MAFIA are still running this countries hospitals and schools, our government who are elected unlike priests or bishops are shareing a peadophilic bed with the catholic church.

Comment on Irish Blasphemy Law by Alan

Have you noticed that in this bill:

““ religion ” does not include an organisation or cult—

(a) the principal object of which is the making of profit, or

(b) that employs oppressive psychological manipulation—

(i) of its followers, or

(ii) for the purpose of gaining new followers.”

To my mind this means that no religion is actually a religion, as they all employ “oppressive psychological manipulation”. Why else would otherwise intelligent, sensible, people, base their entire lives around the half-arsed nonsense that is Christianity/Islam/Hinduism/Buddhism etc. etc. etc. etc?

[...] Ateistiske ogranisasjoner, i forskjellige variasjoner og under forskjellige betegnelser, dukker opp som paddehatter rundtomkring. Det er slettes ikke noe nytt med ateisme, men man kan uten tvil si at det har skjedd noe markant med organiseringen, den aktive opponeringen mot religion og retorikken. I det heletatt har mange av de ateistiske organisasjonene og forkjemperne kastet seg inn i “kampen” på en “religiøs” eller “fundamentalistisk” måte. En forsonende tone er hvertfall ikke det mest fremtredende. Hin dagen besøkte jeg igjen nettsidene til Atheist Ireland og deres kamp mot den Irske blasfemiloven. [...]

Comment on Blasphemy art exhibition in Dublin this month by Paul

An exhibition offensive to Christians? How brave and novel! How about offending Muslims for a change? You know, the followers of the religion that, to this day, puts people to death for being Unbelievers? Or will your protests be against only those who don’t threaten you and your families’ safety – the ones who care the least about this law?

Comment on Atheist Ireland Publishes 25 Blasphemous Quotes by Ron van der Noll

On the grounds of Saint John’s Church in Tralee is a low building. On the outer wall of this low building, one can find a tap that will produce holy water. At least, that is what one is led to believe by the words that are chiseled in the stone slab above the tap. When I located this holy water tap, some two decades ago, it was a brass tap with an elegant shape. A reverent tap actually.
Now, the tap has been replaced and one can acquire the holy water by way of a chrome and plastic kitchen spout with a blue label that says ‘cold’.
Minute as it occurs, and indifferent as I am towards holy matters, I experience this grotesque expression of distaste as blasphemous. Will the law act please?

This is my first time of hearing of a so-called blasphemy law refraining people from using their senses and their mind to think. It is just synonymous to the biblical nonsense, in which the “God of idiosyncracy” ordered the fictional Adam and Eve not to eat of the tree that gives wisdom and knowledge. They call it “the original sin”. Yes! it’s a sin in the eyes of this so-called supernatural God for mankind to have wisdom and knowledge. It is this Dog (you can call it God) that religious people say we should worship. Only the insane would do that.
I say bravo, to all the clear-thinkers (atheists) in Ireland for this noble cause of standing against this disgraceful law. It’s just a shame on humanity. If animals are not thinking and we humans beings too are not allowed to think, then what is the essense of the human mind?
