I came across this and thought I would share it with everyone.
I have had family and friends who have had personal problems.
It is hard for them, their family and their friends.
Thought this might help those who don't want a "religious" answer.

- A law against blasphemy is certainly a threat to both free speech and reason. I'm not interested in seeing another Dark Ages.

The Blasphemy Law doesn't surprise me. Look at the way they treated the victims after the "Inquiry". Quite shameless. And they're offering a pittance in compensation. They should refuse the compensation and sue the sorry asses off the Vatican.
It also wouldn't surprise me if this wasn't just one influence peddling attempt by the Vatican to muzzle the victims.

Is anyone else here suspicious that this 'blasphemous libal' law has been enforced only weeks after the Ryan Report and its terrible findings of Catholic abuse of children in their care? Is it just me who finds this highly suspicious? Would there be any change that Ahern was under pressure from the Vatican to find ways of gagging anti-catholic, or just plain religious, criticism?
I don't know, but I smell a rat and it comes from Rome.

- @Mr Black: Well, good on them! I know the good guys won't go down without a good (and properly mocking, lol) fight, but this is still just a ridiculous situation.

It is true that many people take the path of religion to lead them out of destructive life styles.
It is also true that people can do the same thing without a reliance on faith (you just don't hear about it as much).
You sound like a very nice you…
I thought it was utterly brilliant that he said Abbot's offer of a billion dollars for Hobart hospital was immoral!
His refusal of such a ridiculous bribe iis one of the first moral acts I've ever seen from a politician. Clearly the man will have a…
I've seen posts about the 50 commandments of jeebus put out by xtians that cite chapter and verse and you really don't need a commentary to go along with them.
Boy it sure does kill the whole GOP/Tea Party platform.
I'm telling Miss Julie! . . (Sombody wants a spanking!!).
Seems like you could be in danger of getting more than just your tongue stuck, to a dancing pole at the north pole . . .
Just be carefull... I had a similar discussion with my sisnlaw and it almost caused a big rift in my otherwise tightly nit family.
From the article Tommy cited.
"However, religious commentators have criticized Hawking's theorizing, saying he can never hope to explain what is essentially unexplainable."
Well doesn't that kind of invalidate their own "god" theory then? ;p
Anybody else read it? I love the basic premise, and being an atheist means I can appreciate the mythology and not get bent out of shape about the multiple deities.
Wyoming is better than the southeast, from what I've seen. It's still a solid red state, though. My big point was that there are no cities. The closest it has are Cheyenne and Casper, each of which are around 50,000 people.
The entire state barely…
I was in Panama City this past weekend, but I didn't have any free time. I was there for my brother-in-law's pinning. He was promoted to Major in the Air Force. The promotion ceremony was full of God and Jesus references, and the invocation was give…
I saw a video, or a blog post once that listed all the uncomfortable and illogical things that a person must do, according to Jesus' own words, in order to follow him. The list included hating your family, selling all your possessions, etc. I'm pret…
It's been almost a full day, and none of them have responded. I'm hoping that's the end of it, and they have bowed to my superior sophistry. ;-)
