A blasphemy art exhibition in Dublin during February is a direct response to the new Irish blasphemy law. Itâs a fascinating show, and well worth a visit.

It is on in the Oonagh Young Gallery in James Joyce Street (formerly Corporation Street) off Talbot Street until Saturday 27 February, and is open from 12 to 6pm every Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

This Wednesday at 7pm there is a special screening of Rocky Road to Dublin and The Making of Rocky Road to Dublin, which should be watched by anyone interested in secularism and censorship in Ireland.

In the video, PZ Myers, author of the Pharyngula science blog, and Michael Nugent, chair of Atheist Ireland, visit the exhibition with gallery owner Oonagh Young.

The new 'evidence' amounts to yet another 'Argument from Personal Incredulity': the Italian scientists cannot understand how it could have been faked.

Americans: Undecided About God?

Eric Weiner - New York Times 59 Comments

Nones don’t get hung up on whether a religion is “true” or not, and instead subscribe to William James’s maxim that “truth is what works.”
