I am secure in my faith, but I also know that God is angered by all the blasphemy in this thread, whether the artists blasphemy or Thorn's blasphemy or others and that he will severely punish all those concerned, as well as the societies and nations that allow and encourage this blasphemy. Please cease this blasphemy, repent and avoid the future wrath of God.

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Why an omnipotent, omniscient deity would give a rats arse about what a cartoonist or poster on an internet forum thinks is beyond me. Any god I'd believe in wouldn't be so ludicrously petty.

Indeed, and if you were Jesus you'd be too busy killing Romans and banging Jewish chicks to worry about starting a religion. It's so obvious that Paul caught genital herpes from Christ .

God, this means that Thorn was right all along!

It is difficult to believe that He does care about relatively trivial matters, but the fact that He sent Jesus to live on the earth and to die so that we could be given eternal life through Him proves that He indeed does care about trivial matters and loves all of us sufficiently that He will forgive all those willing to repent regardless of the evil they have done.

a just God would not forgive all... Hitler for instance... if there's a chance at all that Hitler is in heaven, then God isn't just and I want nothing to do with him.

Even if that were a "fact," I would hardly call that trivial. That's a bit different than getting irate because somebody doesn't believe in you, or draws a cartoon about you.

Increase Your PM Length

Nice shirts Boris, but mine is better And I know for a fact that JC protects even an atheist like myself from the cold on a chilly summer night

Anyway, why take on Hereson? Just a simple quote from John Cleese would be enough: "No one has the right not to be insulted..."

A just god would forgive...but only if the person truly repents. If Hitler truly repented, I think the guilt would be punishment enough. Simply saying "I repent for such-and-such" on your deathbed doesn't count.

(BTW, I'm an atheist)

Not necessarily. As long as he's getting the royalty checks, he probably doesn't care where it is getting published.

Except, he would probably have a reasonable expectation that any publishing company would know enough about local laws to not publish the book where it might inspire such a reaction.

So, to that end, the target of the Greek prosecution seems to be wrong. They should be going after the publishing company, not the author. After all, he created the cartoons in a country where it's legal and wasn't responsible for it being distributed to a country where they could run afoul of the law.
