BBC on new law: “Inciting religious hatred is to be made a criminal offence under plans unveiled by Home Secretary David Blunkett. . . Comedians such as Rowan Atkinson raised fears the law change could have outlawed jokes about religion. The Blackadder star suggested Monty Python’s Life of Brian would not have been made if the law had been in force. “
O great, now there’s no way for clergy to create job security. Our prisons will be full of fundamentalists of every stripe. If only we could love God and love our neighbor, oh well, this works too 😉
peace,
