Keith A of Hertford BS: Stephen Fry Blasphemy (552* d) RE: BS: Stephen Fry Blasphemy 13 May 17


There is no discussion on that law.
None of us here support blasphemy laws.

I responded to
"how awful religious ideas are"   by asking for examples of awful religious ideas. I do not think any have been provided.

In earlier centuries religion was ubiquitous. That does not mean that everything bad was the fault of religion. The times were bad.
I do not think Steve made a case for the idea of afterlife being harmful or bad.

Clergy abuse is hardly a religious idea. It is not just clergy. It happens wherever adults get access to kids, religious or not.

Jim says, "It is the uses of religion to carry out "bad things" that is under discussion."

No-one denies religion can be misused. That is not an argument against it.
Education can be misused.
Medicine can be misused.
You will agree Jim that communism has always been misused but you still do not give up on it.

So, where are these "awful religious ideas?"
