The Blasphemy Thread

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Well those aren't facts, at all, but the answer to your question is, "No"

So facts cannot be blasphemous.  Interesting.

So it wouldn't be considered blasphemy to say the Koran and Bible are factually incorrect works of humans and that either Mohammed was a false prophet or Jesus wasn't the Son of God (both can't be true together)?  I suspect many believers would disagree.

Precisely correct. It’s not what you say that makes a statement blasphemous, it’s how you say it and - to an extent - the intent behind it. For example, you can say, ‘Jesus was a convicted criminal’ or ‘Jesus was condemned to die by Pontius Pilate.’ Both are true statements (in terms of the story) and mean the same thing. The first is blasphemous, the second isn’t.
