    Bring on The Foul Blasphemy

    I am so sick of people equating blasphemy (including Christianity, Islam, New Age, Objectivism, what have you)with racism and homophobia. They are not the same.

    Blasphemy rebels against a dogmatic, moribund set of mystical nonsense that has way too much unearned power and influence in human affairs. And it's damned funny.

    Racism, sexism, and homophobia are tools used to enforce the religious social hierarchy, and keep pesky blasphemers in their place.

    See? Different. Satan Rulez.

    —Dr. Locrian
