To the great speech, I shall be grateful

Ireland has just voted a law punishing the crime of blasphemy that states that one can say anything that would target religion in any of its form. Hello again, the Inquisition!

Atheist Ireland (my new best friends) delibrately published blasphemeous quotes from famous people. Here's my favourite so far:

Richard Dawkins:


"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."

Eventually, I'll do something about the God of Christians, what a lovely person he is indeed just quoting what's been said, not in the Bible, but arround us everyday.
