This is just stupid.

The rules like this in the UK are ridiculous. If someone complains because they are alarmed or distressed by a random bloke not liking their religion, they need to get some sense knocked into them.
Thank fuck I'm getting out of lincolnshire in a few months.

I want to buy this man a position in government. C'mon, we all know that's how you get into government.

Holy shit the stupidity is spreading. Spain has an artist being sued for blasphemy right now. Saw that on another board.
WHAT THE FUCK is happening to the west? I almost suspect it is the climate of fear on the part of the big three. They are seeing their power slip so they pull the PC shit "cant we all just get along"
HOLY FUCK and people wonder why I am "in your face"
DAMN PEOPLE no one should ever stop another human by force of law to outlaw a religion, but no one at the same time should deny the rights of others to criticize someone else. Banning criticism of others is what Iran does, what China does.
Really Union Jack? REALLY, you should know your own damned history of brutal dictator kings ruled by the state Church. You also piss on the likes of your own like Shakespeare "life is but a walking shaddow.........full of sound and furry signifying nothing"
Come on Britain I know you are better than this. Brilliant artists, brilliant comedians, brilliant thinkers, and damned sure held your own in WW2 against real fascists, please don't act like one yourself.
Don't you guys have Darwin on a note? Well if this mentality grows, do humanity a favor and take it off.

It isn't just the west, the whole world is wrapped up in it's warm blanket of false sentimental belief in God, if they can't take multilateral publication of beliefs perhaps they had best remove themselves from the public forum of thought?

What happened Britain did Ned Flanders move there become a cop and slip the government a roofie?
"Religions are just fairy tales"
How the fuck is that any worse than
"You are all individuals............we are all individuals" Why don't you have the Monty Python creators arrested too?
I think the internet is making it aware to the fans of superstition OF all labels, that there is becoming less place for them to publicly make their naked assertions without challenge.

I fail to see how tis is different to a poster on a church saying "god is love" or similar message. If I find it offensive can I have the local priest/vicar/shaman arrested?

They wear a torture device around their necks and they want to preach about others being offensive? Isn't torture offensive?
Churches can put banners such as "god is love" and messages such as "When there's no one, there's Jesus", but this man can't put up a harmless sign that simply states "Religions are fairy stories for adults"!?
