[ via Flutterby ] We may have Mullah Ashcroft in the DoJ, but at least we don’t have the UK’s Blasphemy laws. The archaic laws, which only pertain to Christianity, have been mustered by a group of evangelicals to bludgeon a popular UK TV personality for reading a Gay themed poem on the BBC.
One hopes she should be able to find some Liberal Christian scholars who can argue before the Crown that the evangelicals’ problem with homosexuality is not one shared by all Christians.
One thing you can say for the States, we may be full of crack smoking evangelicals, but we have a Constitution which protects us from most of the harm they can bring to bear.
