Dear Sir/Madam,
I fully support
Stephen Fry. The so called ‘blasphemy’ crimes are a remnant from a by-gone era.
We are free to believe or not to believe and we are fully entitled to have our
own opinions. We can criticize whatever we want to criticize. When it comes to
faith or religion that is pretty close to superstition people are entitled to
their own views.
The 2009 Blasphemy
Law dates back to the Inquisition when people were tortured and killed in the
name of religion. Today, in the so called Western Civilization people are not usually
killed but they are still being killed in other cultures namely Islam that is a
murderous ideology posing as a religion.
The time is long
overdue to get rid such monstrosities used to persecute, to torture and to kill
innocent people around the world. Get rid of the so called 2009 Blasphemy Law
that is nothing more than a mental illness, a product of sheer stupidity.
Stephen Fry is being
investigated by Irish police over blasphemy claims more than two years after
his outspoken comments about God on RTE's The Meaning of Life went
viral.
Mr Fry described a hypothetical creator as “stupid” and an “utter
maniac” for designing a world filled with undue suffering.
Asked
in 2015 by the programme's host, Gay Byrne, what he would say to God if he
arrived at the pearly gates of heaven, the actor and
author replied: “I’d say, bone cancer in children? What’s that
about?”
The committed atheist added: “How dare you? How dare you
create a world to which there is such misery that is not our fault? It’s not
right, it’s utterly, utterly evil.
“Why should I respect a capricious, mean-minded, stupid god who creates
a world that is so full of injustice and pain?
“We have to spend our life on our knees thanking him? What kind of god
would do that?
“The god who created this universe, if it was created by god, is quite
clearly a maniac, an utter maniac, totally selfish.”
I agree with Stephen
Fry that judged on very clear facts the so called God or Creator would be
judged as “a maniac, an utter maniac, totally selfish” in “a world that is so
full of injustice and pain” in which innocents are so blatantly suffering. Stephen
Fry is absolutely right to challenge religion as we are duly entitled as human
beings to challenge everything that we don’t agree with.
