I have a problem with Blasthemy as an athiest

[coolfunkDJ]

Its still blasthemy, just like "treat thy neighbour as you would like to be treated", is still the golden rule

Actually I have a friend who has said he doesn't like the "Golden Rule". He likes the intent of it but thinks it should be

"Do not do to others what you would not want done to you".

Not "Do onto others as you would want done to you".

Actually I think it is nether and both, because life is case by case and messy and imperfect and even both of these are subject to point of view.

I think all humans evolved with a sense of empathy and at the same time a sense of wanting to protect themselves. I find cliches a horrible way to guide ones life.

Interesting spin on things, I think that the bible has some principles right on how to life live, but just executes them in the worst way imaginable...
