That was funny - nobody outraged.

The comments were made a long time before the complaint and don't appear to have caused a major stir at the time. Fry's comments only really ask questions Christians also ask. At least looking at comments here, elsewhere online and talking to people I know, the impression I have is that most Christians disagree with the idea of a blasphemy law. It doesn't really seem a formula for Christian outrage does it?

Does anyone know anything about the complainant? All I've found is that he wasn't offended but felt a crime had been committed. Was he Christian, atheist or of other belief? Was he aiming to cause Fry hassle? Was he aiming to bring this law to the attention of the public? Perhaps the aim was to trigger Christian outrage? Perhaps something else? It's a bit of a puzzle to me.
