May 7th, national day of prayer? Not here. Here comes a wild thread where you can blaspheme whatever you wish. Anarchy is the rule of the comment thread.
It's been said before, but I might as well say it again: the new* idea that religions get a free pass so far as criticism is... Well, I guess it would almost get to kind as a sort of religion by its own rules.
So long as it's unthinkable to question an idea, it should be unthinkable to embrace it. If the rhetorical devices that allow us to understand reality cannot be applied to somebody's beliefs, then those beliefs clearly have no relation to the real world.
On a related note, an absolute moral authority ought to preclude the existence of a consistent moral code, because... Oogh, trying to Gödel-number hypothetical philosophical systems makes my mind tingle.
Anyway, done preaching to the choir, or whatever. Assimilating the borg? Boiling the steam? Folding the crane? Incubating the hard-boiled eggs? Torturing my metaphors?
*As compared to the old ideas that preceded it, which were markedly less personable, but, at the very least, up-front.
The internet is my god. It's not perfect and it's humanity's own invention, but at least I'm willing to admit that. It answers my questions more readily though.

Let's start simple:
Fuck Jesus in his stupid ass.
Yay!
*runs off to play DnD*
What? It's so evil and blasphemous and sinful. Just ask Jack Chick!

THOSE. WORDS. ARE. BLAS.PHE.MY!!
Mohammed Ramalamadingdong, jizz be upon him.
Blasphemy? OK... Star Trek was rubbish. All of it. [Runs like hell.]
I kid, I kid... ;)
Well, most of it maybe. All of it? That's somewhat questionable.
Dude, it was a joke.
I know. That was my sad attempt at being dry.
Ah. My apologies.
COMIC FAIL.
