"An atheist group in the Irish Republic has defied a new blasphemy law by publishing a series of anti-religious quotations on its website. Atheist Ireland says it will fight any action taken against it in court. The quotations include the words of writers such as Mark Twain and Salman Rushdie, but also Jesus Christ, the Prophet Muhammad and Pope Benedict XVI. The new law makes blasphemy a crime punishable by a fine of up to 25,000 euros" (aqui)
Três amostras (o resto está aqui):
Randy Newman, "God’s Song", 1972: “And the Lord said: I burn down your cities – how blind you must be. I take from you your children, and you say how blessed are we. You all must be crazy to put your faith in me. That’s why I love mankind”
Frank Zappa, 1989: “If you want to get together in any exclusive situation and have people love you, fine – but to hang all this desperate sociology on the idea of The Cloud-Guy who has The Big Book, who knows if you’ve been bad or good – and cares about any of it – to hang it all on that, folks, is the chimpanzee part of the brain working”
Richard Dawkins in The God Delusion, 2006: “The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully”
... a propósito (informação do Ricardo Gross): o tema do Hitchens na Casa Pessoa é "A Necessidade do Ateísmo"

Blasphemy is a victimless Crime, however all Religions are all crimes with multitudes of victims, both within their ‘holy’ pages and their bloody histories of trying to gain control of the world, while spouting of supernatural rewards after death to prey on the thick, ignorant, frightened polulace and to keep them in line with threats of Hell. Keep it and grow up or else the Religionists will take us back to the Dark ages. No God = No Victim = No crime. Just a bunch of control freak Priests, Rabbis and Mullahs, trying (and suceeding) to scare you all into submission. Stand up to the superstitious claptrap."
