Blasphemy, the victimless crime.

In another idiotic religious reaction, Sudanese authorities are holding teacher Gillian Gibbons under threat of 40 lashes for allowing children to name a class teddy bear Muhammed. This is more child abuse in the name of religion. How will children cope with knowing that their decision to name a teddy caused such a punishment.

Setting aside that there is no God, what kind of god could be offended by this and what kind of backward neanderthal could follow such a god. Before the Christians start congratulating themselves remember that this the same god that you follow.

Christians would like to see western Law more in line with biblical law. They want abortion and same sex relationships to be illegal. For athiests, reports such as this are the reason for not wanting religious zealots making laws.

Rubbish!
