Blaspemy laws not just in the big three.

You can't expect everyone in the world to have the same beliefs as you, and being offended because things are "sacred" or "blasphemy" is just making life harder for yourself. Remember you're not the only religion out there. And religious rules, and what you get offended by, are entirely arbitrary. I can make a up a religion right now that gets offended by anything I like. Does that make it reasonable?

Even if it is not a joke, even when it is bigoted and insulting, it still does not give someone the right to murder you.

I have said things like "fuck Jesus" and "fuck Yahweh" and "fuck Mohammed" in two ways. 1 in the context of "that makes no sense" and 2. in the context of "Who do you think you are, you do not deserve a pedestal".

But as far as individuals in any religion, that is still a separate issue as how that person treats me. With Malala, or Keith Ellison for example, the worst they would get is "Why do you feel the need to believe" or "Allah doesn't exist" or "that makes no sense". I am quite sure that the worst they would do if they thought I was being insulting would be "You are being an asshole Brian". But I do that with everyone of all religions.

My blasphemy is more for the idea, and not the person. But it is aimed at any person of any religion who thinks bullying with violence will shut me up.

It is I think the reason why Froodo has not run screaming. I do think after all this time he knows or at least should know how to separate himself from the claims he makes.

I simply think the world goes about peace the wrong way. We far too much default to taboos as an easy fix, rather than to simply allow the bitching and accept even with that non violence should be the common law and in the end regardless we all are human beings.
