Hold on: is insulting a religion a dogma? I mean of course it's distasteful and it might offend someone, but freedom of speech implies that offensive things can also be said (of course barring full-on hate speech).
I mean, I could walk in the park, step on a piece of dog shit, and say something along the lines of "Fuck Jesus in the nailholes": it's very bad taste, but it doesn't mean I should get arrested for it. Nor should religious people take offense at that - "the fool said in his heart there is no god" - would you take offense at something said by a fool?

"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.
Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.
Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.
Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."
