One man's blasphemy doesn't override other people's free-speech rights, their freedom to publish, freedom of thought.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The writers of the French enlightenment had deliberately used blasphemy as a weapon, refusing to accept the power of the Church to set limiting points on thought.
Men blaspheme what they do not know.
Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves; and under the rule of a just God, cannot long retain it.
I have no right, by anything I do or say, to demean a human being in his own eyes. What matters is not what I think of him; it is what he thinks of himself. To undermine a man's self-respect is a sin.
As a global society, we do not have to agree, endorse or condone the lifestyle choices of others. However, history has taught us that we equally cannot and should not excuse those who would hide behind religion or misuse God's word to justify bigotry and persecution.
Private religious speech can't be discriminated against. It has to be treated equally with secular speech.
We all have the right of freedom of speech under the First Amendment. We all don't have to agree with one another on our opinions. Everyone in my circle, that I run around with, we all feel the same about God, country, integrity and character.
I suppose I should say that I treasure blasphemy, as a faith of the highest order.
To say that you can kill in the name of God is blasphemy.
There is nothing in my work that can be taken as blasphemy.
