Blasphemy

Twinkletoes:

'''Blasphemy''' is the defamation of the name of [[God]] by an adherent of the religion whose deity is being blasphemed. It is impossible for a person to blaspheme a deity of a religion he does not adhere to.

Christianity states the following about blasphemy:

Those who speak blasphemy "shall surely be put to death". (Leviticus 24:16)

"But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an [[eternal sin]]." (Mark 3:29 )

Does this really belong here? Murder and rape are univerally recognized by civilized societies as evil. Blasphemy is not.--[[User:Dave3172|Dave3172]] 12:11, 14 March 2007 (EDT)

::Looks pretty evil to me. Anyone who can't recognize that ain't part of a civilized society.

No, anyone who does not recognize that is someone who is not part of a Judeo-Christian society. There is civilization outside of the Judeo-Christian world; examples include India, China, and Japan.

:::Blasphemy is dependent on a) if you follow the religion in question and b) then hold an antithetical view to that religion. It's not a universal evil; in fact, by its very definition it can only be considered evil by a subset of society unless you're talking about a theocracy.

:::Perhaps a fair solution would be to give blasphemy a separate header and talk about how it can be considered evil. --[[User:Dave3172|Dave3172]] 12:18, 14 March 2007 (EDT)

::That's the kind of [[liberal]] bias we are trying to avoid.

America is not a Christian nation. It is a secular nation with a (nominal, at least) Christian majority. There is a major difference between the two. Blasphemy is not considered a crime anywhere in the US. Religion is not mandatory in the US.

Twinkletoes: Blasphemy is irrelevant if you do not subscribe to the religion in question; it can only be performed by an adherent.

Evil is the objective lack of goodness against one's fellow humans. [[Murder]] and [[rape]] are examples of objective evil.
