Time for a secular Ireland?

Quote:

from today, 1 january 2010, the new irish blasphemy law becomes operational, and we begin our campaign to have it repealed. Blasphemy is now a crime punishable by a €25,000 fine.

In response, we have published a list of 25 blasphemous quotes, which have previously been published by or uttered by or attributed to jesus christ, muhammad, mark twain, tom lehrer, randy newman, james kirkup, monty python, rev ian paisley, conor cruise o’brien, frank zappa, salman rushdie, bjork, amanda donohoe, george carlin, paul woodfull, jerry springer the opera, tim minchin, richard dawkins, pope benedict xvi, christopher hitchens, pz myers, ian o’doherty, cardinal cormac murphy-o’connor and dermot ahern.

You can read the quotes on the website here:

One can only hope that Ireland will move into the 21st century and consign laws against free speech and free thought to the dustbin of history....

From today, 1 January 2010, the new Irish blasphemy law becomes operational, and we begin our campaign to have it repealed. Blasphemy is now a crime punishable by a €25,000 fine. The new law defines blasphemy as publishing or uttering matter that is grossly abusive or insulting in relation to matters held sacred by any religion, thereby intentionally causing outrage among a substantial number of adherents of that religion, with some defences permitted.

nice step backwards - €25,000 fine. why not just let god strike down the blasphemers
