Quotable International Blasphemy Day

Another day not on my fucking godforsaken calendar…

So, some quotes nicked from thinkexist.com

Robert J. Ingorsoll:
“This crime called blasphemy was invented by priests for the purpose of defending doctrines not able to take care of themselves”

Thomas Paine:
“Is it not a species of blasphemy to call the New Testament revealed religion, when we see in it such contradictions and absurdities”

G.K. Chesterton:
“Blasphemy itself could not survive religion; if anyone doubts that, let him try to blaspheme Odin.”

And a couple from Famous Quotes and Authors

T.S. Eliot:
“Genuine blasphemy, genuine in spirit and not purely verbal, is the product of partial belief, and is as impossible to the complete atheist as to the perfect Christian.”

Anonymous:
“There is but one blasphemy, and that is injustice.”
