Happy Blasphemy Rights Day!

September 30 is Blasphemy Rights Day, commemorating that time in 2006 when some cartoons of Muhammad drove everybody batty.

Here's CFI's page on the day:

good video I liked it, and I think that anyone who has commented that you are are retard, bitch or what ever else in the comments on your about mythbusters etc vid really need to look at your other stuff before passing judgement.

although I think on both sides weather pro or anti to what that guy said I think people have blown it out of proportions would agree with me and say that all you were saying is that the guy was stupid rather than sexist which is what people thought you were saying?

@Apologist4Christ973 ... i agree

@warrioroftruth71328 Well remember, there is a difference between what is ASTRONOMY ( and Cosmology), and Astrology. NOT the same. Astronomy is the marvel at God's cosmic creation. Astrology is occultism....

I am in full agreement with you that Freespeech and Freethought should be tolerated, and even ENCOURAGED, as long as that knife is allowed to cut both ways. We condemn hypocrisy and rudeness, so civil debate, whatever one's viewpoint, is where the best ideas come from. Anytime this is stifled, something is lost. But speaking of Free speech, and the censorship OF it, we are down to the wire from political viewpoints. Would I vote for ANY law to silence ANY viewpoint. Never. Thats just ill..

BTW, rkwatson, there is a drastic difference between the opposition of criticisms leveled against the incorrect statements described in the bible and the depiction of Muhammad in a derogatory manner...While those vast minority of muslim brothers/sisters are apparently irritable and zealot fanatics, the vast MAJORITY of muslims across the world were protesting peacefully against the depiction of Muhammad.

Mens laws do not change people, they only bind them. People must be changed in their heart for any real lasting change to be made. Example: jails dont change criminals in majority. most who are changed decided to change their life. People discount scripture, but if anyone was to live by the principles that Jesus taught, we would not need man made laws of any sort....ever.
