Poland fines singer for bashing Bible [159]
Face it, you're saying that because she insulted YOUR religion. If she had said, "I think Buddhism is completely ridiculous," we wouldn't hear a peep out of you.
You are right on your money. The fact is that she didn't say anything about Buddhism because her aim was to insult religions people care about in Poland.
That is premeditated action and for that reason I think that she should be fined.
People like me have more sense in one finger than you in your whole body. You are an atheist and yet you are keenly interested in religion,in a bad way. So you are not exactly impartial here. Yet I would defend your right to remain atheist and your right to state it publicly, I wouldn't bat an eye if somebody who insulted you on the ground of your beliefs would have been fined.
Maybe I'm wrong but I think that is what freedom of speech is all about - or it should be!
As long as you are not abusing or insulting somebody's beliefs - you should have a right to express your opinions in a non insulting way.
Example:
I think that the Bible is only full of stories which in my opinion are not true but made up by some bronze age storytellers from a desert- it is acceptable.
I think that the Bible is fukcing horrid shyte for brain washed idiots fit to be the middle-ages peasants, written by a bunch of drunken pigs - its totally unacceptable.
Also intent counts - in this case this pop-crap pretend-to-be-singer indented to insult and stir public interest and that alone should be severally punished by making her pay a huge fine -
pour encourager les autres!That singer in question done it solely for publicity and I think that should be severely punished by a much higher fine.
I'm not surprised that you are happy to insult religion as you have a beef with it.
It only shows what kind of person you are - you better stop it!
