Blasphemy law in the United States
#17
RE: Blasphemy law in the United States
@Interaktive You're partially right because there are some European countries that prohibit blasphemy.
Do you know article 166 of Strafgesetzbuch (German penal code) ?

In USA laws against blasphemy aren't applied nowadays in my knowledge because it was considered there are unconstitutional.


In some states books you can find matters relative to prosecution of homosexuality and others practices considered as sodomy  but there aren't applied.
Even if I'm a French who did never put a foot in USA.
I don't forget some time ago anal and oral sex in male to male relationship was illegal in some states.
I don't forget some time ago anal and oral sex in straight relationship was illegal in some states.
In 2003 sodomy laws were invalidated by Supreme Court of United States with Lawrence v. Texas (Full case name : John Geddes Lawrence and Tyron Garner v Texas , United States Reports : 539 U.S. 558 (Open the page 558 of United States Reports volume 539 to find the case))
This case law on Wikipedia : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_v._Texas
Read the case law : https://www.loc.gov/item/usrep539558/
More about anti-sodomy laws in USA (Some of these are still in state statute even if unenforceable because of Lawrence v. Texas) : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodomy_law...ted_States

I'm speaking of this to say there are many things in states books that are unenforceable because there were ruled unconstitutional.
I'm impressed to see states books contain illegal things because there are unconstitutional.
I think it's funny to read unenforceable stuff in states books because they were de facto repealed because the "Supreme Court of the USA" said it's unconstitutional but than state legislatures didn't repealed the unconstitutional texts even if there are not enforced.

You spoke about blasphemy laws but what's about obscenity laws ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Sta...cenity_law
