Indian skeptic arrested and charged with "Blasphemy" for revealing the secret behind the "miracle" of the cross dribbling "Holy Water"
Sanal Edamaruku, an Indian skeptic, went to Mumbai and revealed that a "miraculous" weeping cross was really just a bit of statuary located near a leaky drain whose liquid reached it by way of capillary action. The local Catholic Church demanded that he retract his statements, and when he refused, they had him arrested for blasphemy.
Incredible! - this is what happens when you give The Catholic Church power.

Comment by Ranjan Kaul on May 9, 2012 at 5:46am Read in today's papers about an atheist brethren who has been jailed in Indonesia for speaking the truth!
Apparently it is regarded as blasphemy to be an atheist in that country.
Atheist Nexus should take up the cause and fight for those who
so now what? actually thinking is balsphemy? geee..
still proud of him, he shown the truth behind the smoke and mirrors..
the blasphemy law is like a pair of handcuffs becuase whatever you say there is a religion that feels 'Offenced' by it..they feel offended when you washed the windows and let the people see inside..

Comment by Tony Carroll on April 17, 2012 at 8:51pm I just sent an e-mail to the pope at the vatican about this. I know some lower down perfunctory will intercept it, but I felt strongly enought to try. His address is benedictxvii@vatican.va I would share the e-mail with you guys, but I'm not that good at computers. If anyone could tell me, I will post it here.
Comment by Alex Barnham on April 17, 2012 at 8:14pm Yes, and Sanal, while we're at it, please admit that the earth is flat or we will burn your mother.

Comment by Alex Barnham on April 17, 2012 at 8:11pm In the 96th Chapter of the Book of Barnabas:
Jesus answered: 'It is true that God hath so promised, but indeed I am not he, for he is made before me, and shall come after me.'
Needless to say, the Book of Barnabas never made it into the top 100 per the Vatican. I often thought that the Vatican would be a good name for a vacuum cleaner.
