”Blasphemous libel was originally an offence under the common law of England. Today, it is an offence under the common law of Northern Ireland, it is a statutory offence in Canada and New Zealand, and it has been abolished in England and Wales. It consists of the publication of material which exposes the Christian religion to scurrility, vilification, ridicule, and contempt, and the material must have the tendency to shock and outrage the feelings of Christians. It is a form of criminal libel.”
About 25% of the world’s countries and territories has anti-blasphemy law, including several Western nations.
If you cannot discriminate anyone against race, religion, etc. we shouldn’t be allowed to discriminate against religion (Christianity) either. Majority religion should be respected in America.
Prior to independence some American colonies had anti-blasphemy law.
Say it with me:
SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE
The constitution prevents you turning our nation into a theocracy. If you want a theocracy move to one.
Nopp I don’t change Christ’ word. I believe that anyone criticizing Christianity in a bad way should be put in jail, deported or fined depending on the situation/circumstance.
We call fundamental/evangelical Christianity here in the States the America Taliban. The OP appears to be a card-carrying member.
Those so called hardcore/evangelicals, do they behead people? Suicide bombers? Stone adulterous? Fly planes into buildings? Throw gays from rooftop buildings? Tax non-believers?
OP has said in several other threads that s/he hates the establishment clause and thinks that the government should discriminate against atheists and non-christians. Also, that only christians should hold office.
So yes, s/he unabashedly does want those kinds of laws established here. Look up the OP’s other threads. A truly terrifying person, if s/he could only get some traction. Fortunately, s/he gets slapped down regularly.
In a way, I welcome the OP’s demented posts. Because the replies demonstrate that the overwhelming majority of posters here DO understand and cherish the establishment clause.
Members on CD do not represent all Americans, and most members on this forum are secular and anti-Christians sadly and brainwashed. No wonder why so many evil things happening because the lack of religion and fear of God.
I want a government similar to many other Western countries, nothing wrong with that. Most countries don’t have Establishment Clause BS and are perfectly fine.
If you had an election, most people would vote to become officially a Christian nation. Go try!
So saying something negative about religion is discrimination? LOL.
I think most Americans would strenuously resist the idea that government should prosecute blasphemy. But then, I’ve noted before that you don’t like the First Amendment. Well, it’s an opinion. Not one I respect, but you have the right to hold it, whether anyone else likes it or not. Thanks to the First Amendment.
Then, again how long has extreme Christianity platforms who suggested that Islam~ "Sharia Law" " was taking over the USA?? It's like instant once BO took office ( as lies spread that BO was actually a Muslim)~~ SO NOW OP wants Blasphemy Law instituted so EXTREME Christianity can legally charge anyone who dares says anything negative about their EXTREME view points?? REDICulous.. not to mention a tiny portion of mainstream Christians actually follow what has been preached to the masses of Christians ALL ABOUT embracing/ Tolerance etc..etc!! Guess OP only wants to spread ideology of those few Extremists in order to get responses~~ I thinks it's actually obvious trolling in my mind!!

The spread of such Bu$$ Sh$t is a so a constant it seems
^^^^This. We have freedom OF religion. That being said we don't need more laws, especially ones that violate the Constitution.
