Blasphemy petition
Charity-blackmailing “civil liberties campaigner” Stephen Green seems to be under the impression that the Labour government intends to abolish the Blasphemy Law. This so offends him that he has set up a petition at ipetitions.com, which he intends to submit to the queen.
We believe the Name of Jesus Christ should continue to be protected by the blasphemy law.
Interestingly, the petition is entirely anonymous. There are no checks as to the validity of either land or email address (after registration), and there is a handy little text box at the bottom where people like Donald Duck can leave appropriate comments.
Spread the news!
UPDATE: CV have taken the hint and completely changed the emphasis of the petition from conserving the Blasphemy Law (when there was no evidence to suggest Labour intended to abolish it) to opposing the Incitement to Religious Hatred law – a far more admirable cause (even if supported for questionable reasons in CV’s case).
We at Christian Voice are concerned with Labour’s intent to introduce a law against inciting religious hatred, and possibly to abolish at the same time the law against blasphemy.
Call off the attack dogs.
They will probably just count names, and ignore the comments, so it’s not worth signing, even as Adolph Hitler or The Famous Eccles for grins – you’ll only boost the total number of supporters they will claim.
But I wanted to sign it as Jesus…
You have a point, Chris. If it’s just numbers CV are interested in, then any spoof signings will obviously add to it. But if, as the petition originally said (but doesn’t anymore), they intend to submit it to the queen, then I doubt that a lot of signatories going by the name of “Gay Jesus” or “God Shagger” (for example) would look very impressive.
Yes I was about to sign it as Chick with a Dick, but then I thought about the fact that I could be considered as a supporter…*cringes with disgust*
Wow, I never knew so many ppl could be so desperate to prove that they are totally cool and not a bit fuddyduddy! Congrats all round.
I think you mean kewl. N00b.
Totally, like, chilled, maaan. Whateva!!
Wow. That was like watching my Dad trying to breakdance.
You’re right! People who can’t be cool, chilled and with-it are just so saaaaaad. We should never listen to anything they say.
People who can’t be “with it” is fine. It’s when people who can’t be try to pretend they are they embarrass themselves.
Of course, you might argue that you were being ironic – but for that to work the terms you were mocking would have to be something less than painfully out of date.
The truth is that there is no coherent concept of ‘with-it’ in the first place, since it implies that favouring recent things over less recent is in some way positive, whereas in reality it is neutral.
