Thread Name: BS: Stephen Fry Blasphemy
Subject: RE: BS: Stephen Fry Blasphemy
I take the view that anti-blasphemy and anti-heresy laws and positions are taken not for the purpose of protecting deities but of protecting the deity's representatives on earth. On this and other forums I am fond of saying: "I'm not critiquing G-d, I'm critiquing YOU"
This applies to all religions and their purveyors. This may also apply to the deificiation of any set of ideas, including those held up to be "scientific".
How the domineering love to hide behind a shield of dogma!
