American Atheists will stage a mass-blaspheming event at the American Atheists National Convention in direct defiance of the new BINDING UN Resolution restricting people from ridiculing religion, specifically Islam. Those who try to squelch criticism are the ones who fear it, and Islam has a LOT to fear when it comes to open and honest discussion. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRb2OKPBswMhttp://www.canada.com/topics/news/world/story.html?id=9b8e3a6d-795d-440f-a5de-6ff6e78c78d5
UNITED NATIONS – Islamic countries… won United Nations backing for an anti-blasphemy measure Canada and other Western critics say risks being used to limit freedom of speech.Combating Defamation of Religions passed 85–50 with 42 abstentions in a key UN General Assembly committee, and will enter into the international record after an expected rubber stamp by the plenary later in the year.But while the draftÂ’s sponsors say it and earlier similar measures are aimed at preventing violence against worshippers regardless of religion, religious tolerance advocates warn the resolutions are being accumulated for a more sinister goal.“It provides international cover for domestic anti-blasphemy laws, and there are a number of people who are in prison today because they have been accused of committing blasphemy,” said Bennett Graham, international program director with the Becket Fund, a think tank aimed at promoting religious liberty.“Those arrests are made legitimate by the UN bodyÂ’s (effective) stamp of approval.”
During this event, those who so choose will defy the UN’s demands that we keep quiet about the absurdity of religion in the name of political correctness. We will, en-masse, recite a statement ridiculing God, Allah, Muhammed, and any other mythological being or false prophet and openly plead guilty to the victimless “crime” of blasphemy. People will be given the opportunity to speak their personal views and give their names. We will then challenge the US to arrest us for this crime, or openly rebuke the UN’s resolution.In the words of President Obama, “We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus, and nonbelievers.” We all enjoy the right to openly criticize each other (as we often do), and we invite people of all religious and theological beliefs to join us in this effort by recording their own blasphe-ME event, or even a personal statement, and posting it on the Internet. Of course, those who believe in a deity are expected to blaspheme gods in which they do NOT believe, as is their right (unless/until the UN gets its way). This is one issue where every American of every religion should be on our side. The United States is a nation where freedom of religion, press, and speech are paramount. They are our First Amendment. We will not back down and bow to pressure from any governing body who seeks to take our freedoms away. We will not yield to terrorism cloaked in politics.I’ll go first: My name is David Silverman. I openly and freely state that religion is ridiculous, and all gods are fictional. I also state that Islam, specifically, is a barbaric religion, based on the teachings of a false prophet, that promotes ignorance, hate, and violence (including terrorism). I plead guilty to blasphemy and promise to do so in court if need be. I do this in direct violation of the UN resolution, and I personally challenge President Obama to rebuke this resolution, or order my arrest.United we stand.
Hey folks, this isn’t a matter of philosophy or beliefs. It’s a matter of evolution and science. Read Charles Darwin’s “Origin of Species”. Evolution took 4.6 billion years for living creatures climbed up out the swamps and ultimately walk on their hind legs. Humans appeared 2 million years ago. All of this is proven though science. But, about 2,000 years ago Religion came into being, but there is no scientific evidence to support religion. It is my opinion that religion is all based on the fear of the unknown, – Get the picture?
Time out!!!
This thread is getting boring to read. To quote a great atheist-
“Nothing succeeds without joy”
-Nietzsche
Quit sounding like angry junior high kids (”Fuck God”).
God is make believe. Smile. Laugh at religion and rise above it.
Even among my fellow freethinkers, I fear I will be “crucified” for this. But here goes:
What about blasphemous art? Remember the blasphemous cartoons that caused such a fury?
This photoshop rendered image could surely incite an anger great enough to threaten my life. While the immediate impact of this image is shocking, my intent in creating it was not to arouse anger, but awakening.
In a more realistic context precluding religious sexual inhibition, this image can and should be seen as natural and beautiful.
For anyone who does not see this image as natural and beautiful, I would like to know why. And if this image is too extreme, I would still ask if art can be used to express blasphemy.

Wow! Quantum has really come into his own on this thread.
If I should have to defend myself for blasphemy, although one should hope that kind of totalitarianism never really happens in America to an innocent anonymous blogger like myself, but if I do have to defend myself:
(1) Allah is accessory to child molestation because 9/10 virgins are children.
(2) Both Abraham and Joseph Smith were polygamists.
(3) Jesus is probably gay because he spent the majority of his life with 12 men on fishing boats and because he never even had a girlfriend.
(4) Mohammid was a child molestor because he married a 9 year old boy.
(5) Moses and King David were both cold blooded murderers who led wars against and raped and pillaged entire villages merely because they were gentiles.
(6) Solomon was a womanizer who wrote about his sexual exploits without the permission of the women whom he was with….there, now I hope the national government doesn’t try to censor the truth, assuming these characters aren’t made up in the first place (which they are and I should have every right to say that as an American).
Oh yeah, and (7) Buddha was a fat glutton like Santa Clause, both also made up characters, just look at the picture of his fat ass.
(8) Shiva and Vishnu are cross-dressing trans-vestites….what gender are they again!? Can anybody tell what gender they belong to from their portraits, because I sure can’t!
Are these really role models we want our children reading about!? I don’t, I would much prefer my kids read about the lives of famous scientists.
Military_infidel
I agree. This whole Blasphe-ME event just makes atheists look childish. Dave is this your idea?
Hey, once you’ve got them down then it’s a simple copy-n-paste. I’ve decided to only go with blasphemy that is supported by some means of documentation, simply because that is much more defensible.
Tuen,
Now that made me smile
But, I really think you should have gone with one of the Apostles instead of his mother, Mary. Ooooohhhhhhhhhhh, now THAT’s blasphemy!
Now I’m p***** off at Pakistani (99% chance that means Islamic) terrorists. They have attacked the Sri Lankan cricket team’s bus in Lahore, killing a handful of policemen and wounding some players and officials. In many parts of the world (not in USA) this is a super-blasphemy… attacking cricket, which is almost as ’sacred’ as religion.
drchris
I’m still pissed at American (78% chance that means xian) terrorists. They attacked and occupied Iraq killing 100s of thousands and wounding countless numbers.
I’m also pissed at Israeli (97% chance that means jewish) terrorists. They attacked and killed 1300+ Palestinians (700+ civilians) and wounded many more just weeks ago.
But hey my priorities are fucked up. Right?
Dave, in regards to conciseness, could you delete all of my other posts, including this one? I’m going to repost it all in the form of one big list, I think it will sound more inspirational that way.
If I should have to defend myself for blasphemy, although one should hope that kind of totalitarianism never really happens in America to an innocent anonymous blogger like myself, but if I do have to defend myself:
(1) Allah is accessory to child molestation because 9 out of 11 dead virgins or some extremely large portion of them are probably children.
(2) Both Abraham and Joseph Smith were polygamists.
(3) Jesus is probably gay because he spent the majority of his life with 12 men on fishing boats and because he never even had a girlfriend, so perhaps he should throw the first stone, at himself that is, in order to practice what he preaches and all.
(4) Mohammid was a child molestor because he married a 9 year old boy.
(5) Moses and King David were both cold blooded murderers who led wars against and raped and pillaged entire villages merely because they were gentiles instead of Jews.
(6) Solomon was a womanizer who wrote about his sexual exploits without the permission of the women whom he was with.
(7) Buddha was a fat glutton like Santa Clause, both also made up characters, just look at the picture of their fat asses.
(8) Shiva and Vishnu are cross-dressing trans-vestites….what gender are they again!? Can anybody tell what gender they belong to from their portraits, because I sure can’t!
(9) I hereby also blaspheme all of the Obama Worshippers too, for their incessant need to bow down to ‘The One’ who wants to play Russian Taxlet with our paychecks:
“Russian Taxlet – This is a tax system whereby the government picks a randomly generated number between 0 and 1 (or more) that is multiplied by your paycheck amount in order to determine how much taxes you’d be paying.”
(10) Socrates and Confuscious were both hypocritical jobless bums who proclaimed themselves wise while telling other people how to live their lives.
(11) The Gods (Jesus, Yahweh, Allah) of the Monotheist Trifecta’s concept of Hell (eternal torment) constitutes cruel and unusual punishment, and thereby is a violation of the US Constitution. Those Gods, if they exist, should be put in jail for their anti-American practices of torture.
(12) I hereby blaspheme the United Nations for their totalitarian regime and do encourage the USA to withdraw from that piece of shit communist organization (yes, it is communist under the guise of “world peace”)!
….there, now I hope the national government doesn’t try to censor the truth, assuming these characters aren’t made up in the first place (which most of them are and I should have every right to say that as an American). Besides, are these really role models we want children reading about!? I don’t, I would much prefer my kids read about the lives and achievements of famous scientists and inventers.
Hinduism isn’t really polytheistic, its alot like catholicism. Praying to one god in many different forms, and a bunch of saints. Of couse you could make the argument that catholics are polytheists, which would be quite accurate. Anyways I just thought I’d point that out for factual accuracy, its all bullshit to me.
tuen:
Only for the idea that photoshopping a weenie on a picture of Jesus is art.
Dave
You still have not explained why you deleted one of my posts yesterday? Can others expect the same treatment or is such treatment reserved for only those that call into question your ability to function as an unbiased representative of AA?
from: phreedm [Member]
No. Thanks for asking.
What, the empty headed klansman spewed this (and wiping his ass won’t help, wrong orifice):
“More nonsensical use of language from Neowolfe.
… I cannot reasonably nor scientifically discount certain doubt …”
Okay Wutthole, show me your conclusive evidence that origin of the universe and the built in spontaneous generation of life is an accident. Unlike you, and other members of this forum, I keep an open mind while the evidence comes in. It doesn’t make you wrong, it just makes you premature, which must really piss off your girlfriend (your blowup doll doesn’t care).
NeoWolfe
Tuen,
Yup, that’s blaspemy. Look at as I do, all males get spontaneous woodies while they are sleeping. Let’s assume she just woke him up. LMFAO.
NeoWolfe
Whathole said this:
” I’m also pissed at Israeli (97% chance that means jewish) terrorists. They attacked and killed 1300+ Palestinians (700+ civilians) and wounded many more just weeks ago.
I believe there’s a ninety nine point nine, nine chance that Hamas is going to leave Israel with no choice but to shit stomp them again, and as they hide behind their women and children, there is a one hundred percent chance that these terrorists will accuse Israellis of being terrorists. Whathole, the skinhead mindless earthworm, some things never change.
NeoWolfe
How feeble minded does one have to be to write this:
What is an accident? Man you are dense!
And then there is this:
No choice? Are you sure you are not a republican? That sort of combined arrogance and ignorance is hard to find outside of the GOP. Of course you will not be surprised when Arab and Persian nations decide they are left “with no choice” but to destroy Israel. You have one mode and one mode only of dealing with all your problems in life – belligerence.
neo:
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
what,
You’re pissed off that a legal nation was created with international approval all because of some fucking minority complex. Why don’t the fucking “palestineans” just emigrate somewhere they’re welcome??? If the town/city/state/country I lived in turned into a fuckhole I absolutely hated, that’s what I’d do. Of course, acting like an adult is never expected when there’s a persecution complex available to exploit.
You sound just like these xian whiners bitching about CNN.
Ren,
Yikes! I didn’t even realize the woman was Mary. Yeah, that’s blasphemy.
Neo, that’s funny. Waking up with a chubby is the only way it could happen.
C’mon! (I shout from the mountaintops) I knew gawd was pretend whan I was five!!!!
That, and what Karen said.
whan=when
Mx
That’s funny! The Israelis are living amongst countries that would be delighted if they left the region? If I was that unwelcome I would move out.
.. but of course that would be expecting the Israelis to get over their persecution complex. Right?
Whathole, get an education,
Learning the truth about the circumstances on the ground will alleviate us fellow contributers from exposing you as a turd. We would rather talk about intelligent subjects, rather that your lack of intelligence. Please learn or fuck off.
NeoWolfe
Neo
Not one of your last three sentences has any apparent meaning.
tuen: i’m 100% in support of blasphemous art. but i have to agree with jeff-r’s quip, questioning whether photoshop can be considered art.
i spend a lot of my art career creating blasphemous art. here’s a taste of just a few for those who want a peek.

To: quantum_flux,
Um, no. Actually he married a 6-year-old girl, named Aisha. He was definately a child molestor, but he was not gay.
The more you know.
To: danaellyn,
Those weregreat. Here is a photoshop I did. It was well recieved at Fark.com.
I hope I do this link right. The image is a Mohammed shot glass.
