On July 23, Ireland passed the proposed blasphemy law that makes it a crime to blaspheme, punishable by a fine up to the equivalent of ~$35,000 USD.  This is an affront not only to personal freedoms, but to the expression of ideas and transmission of information.  Knowledge itself is blasphemous to religion.


So, dear Interwebs, let's do our part.  Ireland is apparently out in terms of blasphemy, so we're going to have to pick up the slack.  Please make your way to the blasphemy thread and make the world a more offensive--and free--place:

Seriously, don't hold back now.

Take Canada instead and you avoid most of the crazy American baggage.
