to be fair to her, she never said she was religious or that she had a god.

that said, I cannot wait for Blasphemy Day

Find some other, non-social networking, means to gather supporters together and I’m there with bells on:-)

Meanwhile, the date is on my calendar and I shall make a point of blaspheming even more than usual when it comes around.

Here is a quote from Robert Ingersoll from the 19th century.

Around 1880, Robert Ingersoll presciently commented on the U.N. Resolution forbidding “Defamation of Religion” —

All laws defining and punishing blasphemy —
making it a crime to give your honest ideas about
the Bible, or to laugh at the ignorance of the
ancient Jews, or to enjoy yourself on the Sabbath,
or to give your opinion of Jehovah, were passed
by impudent bigots, and should be at once repealed
by honest men.

An infinite God ought to be able to protect himself
without going in partnership with State Legislatures.

Certainly he ought not so to act that laws become
necessary to keep him from being laughed at.
No one thinks of protecting Shakespeare from ridicule,
by the threat of fine and imprisonment.

It strikes me that God might write a book that would
not necessarily excite the laughter of his children.
In fact, I think it would be safe to say that a real God
could produce a work that would excite the admiration of mankind.

Surely politicians could be better employed than in passing
laws to protect the literary reputation of the Jewish God.

(From “Some Mistakes of Moses” in The Works of Robert Ingersoll,
authorized edition, volume II.)

This is why the taboo about resisting exists. A powerful group can silence objections in this way and have done so for centuries, but there are polite and workable ways to rob them of their illicit power:

Athists have a moral imperative to speak out. Break the silence.

Of course, offense can never, ever be given, it can only be taken; furthermore, I should be free to insult another person’s beliefs without fear of repercussion.

Right? 🙂
