Illegal Blasphemy in Ireland

Posted by Formo-Mormo on July 23rd, 2009 Comments (5)

If you visit Ireland after October, you’d better watch what you say about God.

A blasphemous slip of the tongue could cost you 25,000 euros under revamped legislation that will soon be signed into law.

Blasphemy is an act of challenging or offending a religious belief.

Liberty takes a step back for the folks in Ireland. Not only does this threaten atheists, agnostics and the non-religious, but also anyone who values freedom of thought, freedom of speech, freedom of/from religion, and the separation of church and state.

    1. I’m from Irish descent, and it still pisses me off that Ireland is taking a seat back to this religious irrationality. All I know is, is that I’m not making any trips to Ireland soon until they reconsider such a stupid law.
