Sean Faircloth:
Attack of the Theocrats!
I would say pass the blasphemy laws, if it gets all religions to shut up!
But I know better than that and the cartoon presented is a dream always out of reach. For in reality, religions would be mob-attacking each other on a daily bases for supposed offenses, all the while innocent people injured or possibly killed caught in the middle of their madness.
It's sick and disturbing that the majority of humans hold the view that forms of idolatry and the belief in fairy tales is something sacred. If 'Jack and Bean Stock' was in the bible, and suddenly no one could say anything bad or disrespectful about magic beans without fear of threats, we would call that ludicrous nonsense.
But today we have people that think a 'perfect man', who led a perfect life, that talked to an angel, and also flew up to heaven on a horse, that if we make fun of that, or disrespect that, it would be a punishable offense. Punishable enough all the way to death. This is madness. I am offended from this. I want it to stop and I will do everything I can to put a stop to this.
