freedom of speech?

Got an E-mail about this this morning.

WTF?! Christians can be so small-minded and easily offended. surely the woman has a right to say and believe whatever she wants to…

"A lot of people come up here and thank Jesus for this award. I want you to know that no one had less to do with this award than Jesus," an exultant Griffin said, holding up her statuette. "Suck it, Jesus. This award is my god now."

“Blasphemous and obscene”? What’s obscene about it? And blasphemy is a good thing, it makes people think. I had hitherto not heard of Kathy Griffin, but I’ll look out for her from now on; we need more made of her stuff.

i think she is hilarious, but, in all honestly, she could have been more PC about it. i know we all stick our foot in it sometimes. if she had chirped that at the afterparty, then everyone could have had a giggle about it.
america is so insecure about their religios indentity, that when anyone even nudges them, they are up in arms. akshully, most religions are like that. touchy-touchy!! take a pill guys.
recently, a Facebook friend of mine, declared openly that cause she found god, that she no longer can be a lesbian. i tenderly, and gently, showed her that to base that kind of a life-decision on a book that etc etc, you know the rest. instead of her responding, some bird flew off the bench, going on and on about jesus god christ moses and whoever else.
at first i was incenced, and was duly going to climb into her, then i realised, this poor woman, is so blind, and so hopelessly hanging on to the faith she is hoping will save her, any notion of it not being so, will send her over the edge.
i replied with simply ’ sigh’
it used to be fun, taking the piss out of these religious ppl. but its getting old now.

I think she’s kinda yummy.

The less bein’ said about god, the better.

After returning here (for those who don’t remember me, I am back in the buckle of the Bible belt in the US after over 10 years in Jo’burg), I must say, it worries me how polarized things have gotten over religion in some places. The more church attendance goes down, it seems the more militant the rest become. Having said that, there are still some really great people of every faith and no faith, so I am trying to remain optimistic.

The less bein' said about god, the better.
;D Brilliant ;D

I find people thanking the “creator of the universe” for an award rather offensive, but that’s no reason to censor them. People should be allowed to say stupid shit.

How militant? How many have been killed or injured and how?
