As you may, or may not, be aware, today is International Blasphemy Day, and to that end, here is my little bit of Blasphemy… (edit: and dreadful comma abuse, sorry)

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010I was just watching this funny Youtube video when my mind wandered a little and a few random thoughts connected themselves.
Strange Bible References
Friday, November 27th, 2009I was picking my daughter up from after school club the other day, and my eye was caught by a van parked up by the entrance. It was your typical white company van, plastered with various bits of writing and imagery describing the companies business. Nothing unusual so far. Then I noticed a largish Icthus fish at the bottom of the rear doors, and it was accompanies by “Rev 3:20”. OK, I have no problem with people (and even a business in this case) displaying such symbols – after all I have a Darwin fish on the back of one car, and a T-Rex eating an Icthus on the back of the other. Even the reference to a Bible verse wasn’t really a problem, except I didn’t know what the verse was.
Defacing the Bible for Art
Friday, July 24th, 2009The Glasgow Gallery of Modern Art is currently hosting an exhibition where visitors are invited to write in a copy of the Bible. The idea seems to have been originally put forward by Metropolitan Community Church with the aim of reclaiming the Bible as a sacred text. Predictably however it hasn’t exactly gone as the organisers had intended.
British study reveals Bible knowledge in decline

This is excellent news, and backs up other recent reports that show that the Church and religion in general is becoming increasingly less imports to the younger generation. Hopefully this trend will continue, and religion will soon be relegated to nothing more than a fringe activity that the rest of us can ignore.
