First they kick the pope in the ass and now this! Go to it, lads!
Hope they do. Side note: The Irish presidency is about as useful as a fart in a spacesuit.

Apparently the Blasphemy Laws haven't been used much lately, either.
Still, good riddance. Let's the religitards know where they stand.

Yay... 65% people voted yes to get rid of blasphemy from the constitution. The imam at Dublin’s main mosque is not a happy bunny.

I'd happily shit in his turban to help him with his rage.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Why did peace come to Northern Ireland?
Quote:A 2010 Bishops Conference survey found that 10.1% of Irish Roman Catholics did not believe in god.[6]
Irreligion in the Republic of Ireland
And without delay Peter went quickly out of the synagogue (assembly) and went unto the house of Marcellus, where Simon lodged: and much people followed him...And Peter turned unto the people that followed him and said: Ye shall now see a great and marvellous wonder. And Peter seeing a great dog bound with a strong chain, went to him and loosed him, and when he was loosed the dog received a man's voice and said unto Peter: What dost thou bid me to do, thou servant of the unspeakable and living God? Peter said unto him: Go in and say unto Simon in the midst of his company: Peter saith unto thee, Come forth abroad, for thy sake am I come to Rome, thou wicked one and deceiver of simple souls. And immediately the dog ran and entered in, and rushed into the midst of them that were with Simon, and lifted up his forefeet and in a loud voice said: Thou Simon, Peter the servant of Christ who standeth at the door saith unto thee: Come forth abroad, for thy sake am I come to Rome, thou most wicked one and deceiver of simple souls. And when Simon heard it, and beheld the incredible sight, he lost the words wherewith he was deceiving them that stood by, and all of them were amazed. (The Acts of Peter, 9)
