1. I support this petition whole heartedly.

2. I agree totally to stop blasphemy laws. You are welcome to blaspheme me, good luck. Respectfully yours, with warm regards, Capt. ret. Zen.

3. All any any obstruction or impediment to free speech, free action, to point out errors in non fact bases false teachings , should be prevented
   Blasphemy laws outlawed, like sharia laws that lower human decency
   And free discussions and right to comment and criticize should be universal.

   Please take action against these laws, before another new god is created all, so called non believers eliminated.
   We can stop this movement now, before it takes back in time!

4. I support this petition wholeheartedly….

5. Blasphemy Law is ‘Anti-Freedom of Speech Law’ and is in fact an evil tyrannical law which must be banned by legislation in every Nation around Planet Earth.

6. Thanks for creating this fantastic blog post.

7. Freedom for all, equality for all.

8. Blasphemy Law is nothing but a relic of barbarism. This must quashed and there should be adequate laws to prevent preaching superstition. Make preaching superstition a criminal offense. ‘Anti-Freedom of Speech Law’ I SUPPORT THIS PETITION>

9. Signed yesterday. So, when Interpol shows up to arrest me at the behest of the Sultan, there will be a firefight.

10. The United Nation’s proposed hate-blasphemy crimes law makes me speak in jest when I say the following:

    The American Heritage Dictionary defines blasphemy as: Any irreverent or impious act or utterance.” Make note: “utterance.”

    If the UN’s definition of hate includes irreverent UTTERANCES, then the UN’s only method of preventing the commission of hate crimes and blasphemy will have to be to abolish the existence of Christianity, Islam and Judaism. That’s because Christianity, Islam and Judaism each claim their God and Creed as the correct God and Creed; they commit hate and blasphemy crimes against eachother because each accuses the other of being incorrect and blasphemous. They and their congregants utter UTTERANCES against eachother: hate crimes in the first degree.

    Because accusations of incorrectness and blasphemy are irreverent utterances when referring to another religion, Christianity, Islam and Judaism have committed hate crimes and blasphemous UTTERANCES against eachother; therefore, they must be banned, abolished and punished. Once they are abolished, noone – including atheists, agnostics and secularists – will be able to commit a hate/blasphemy crime because there will be no religion to commit it against. PEACE. Finally.

    I’m not an atheist or an agnostic. I’m not a Christian, Muslim or Jew.
    I’m a European Gentile American who likes the US Constitution and its Bill of Rights.

11. I support it!

12. I hope this does make a change.

13. I support this petition from the bottom of my heart.

14. Hello. I have a question for you: Why must a charter of rights mention ‘religion’ at all? Why not simply ‘freedom of belief’ (and thus also disbelief)? The reason I suggest this is because ‘belief’ is indeed a personal or private matter which need not impinge on public policy. Freedom of religion, however, leads to the public sanctioning of things like circumcision (hard to imagine babies ‘believe’ in this), gender segregation in places of worship (something you couldn’t get away with in the workplace), and so on. If an adult believes his covenant with god is ‘sealed with a snip’, then let him perform it himself when of age. I won’t be signing your petition since it allows the religious to propagate their abusive dogmas and discriminatory practices just as before, and your petition does nothing to rectify this but may in fact give the impression, if adopted, that everything is right with the world. I would suggest back to the drawing board and this time stand up for what you believe in.

15. What you have just done in moderating my comment out of existence, aside from contradicting your claim to be a ‘free thinker’, is to condemn many children of religious believers who would benefit from a reformulated charter of rights in the manner I suggest to a life misery. Bravo.

16. Thank you;)

17. I agree completely. We need to not forget the blasphemy laws in Europe. There are laws on the books all over Europe making it a thoughtcrime to question the validity of the holocaustianity religion! It’s a new Inquisition! There have been many people imprisoned and still in prison over these ridiculous laws.

    1. I see what you did there:) You’re right though, Hitchens also opposed holocaust-denial laws since it prevents one highlighting the absolute idiocy of those who deny it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dWxklSFPEA

       1. So we need laws, so that idiots won’t speak out and show how stupid they are? And if they are so stupid that they speak out anyway, then they need to be put in prison?

          1. Read what I said again: I’m with Hitchens in stating that there should NOT be laws against Holocaust denial.

18. Unbelievable that we still have to battle so hard for the freedom to think and say what we want. I am offended all the time by the thoughts and sentiments of others but unless they incite damage I defend their right to be as offensive or inspiring as they wish. I can only hope they choose wisely.

    1. Thank you for your intelligent commentary. I concur wholeheartedly.

19. I’m an atheist libertarian and the only thing that irritates me these days are the restrictions of polluted political correctness.
    30 years ago people like John Cleese and his comedy pals satirised religion.
    Muslims think that imaginary Allah wants them to murder people who don’t believe in him?
    If that’s an aspect of civilisation then the cultural world is in decline!

20. “If there were valid scientific evidence in support of the supernatural religious claims, faith would not be the main requirement.”

    – Christ in Egypt: The Horus-Jesus Connection, page 3

21. “…Nowhere in Scripture will you find an acknowledgment that each individual has an “inalienable right” to be treated with fairness and respect, or that “We, the People” are capable of governing ourselves. There is no democracy in the “word of God.” In the bible, humans are “worms” and “sinners” deserving damnation, “slaves” who should humbly submit to all kings, heavenly and earthly.”

    “American laws are based on a secular constitution, not the bible. Any scriptures that might support a good law do so only because they have met the test of human values, which long predate the ineffective Ten Commandments.”

    “The God of Scripture slaughtered entire groups of people that offended his vanity, ordering young virgins to be kept alive as war booty for his priests (Numbers 31). “Happy shall be he that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones,” he advised (Psalm 137:9), threatening those with the wrong religion that “their women with child shall be ripped up” (Hosea 13:16), sending bears to attack 42 children who teased a prophet (II Kings 2:23-24), punishing innocent offspring to the fourth generation (Exodus 20:5), discriminating against the handicapped (Leviticus 21:18-23), promising that fathers and sons would eat each other (Ezekiel 5:10), and much more that we would find repugnant in a human being. In this theistic universe, morality is severed from reality and reduced to flattering the Sovereign.”

    – George H.W. Bush, when he was candidate for president

    “Christians have an obligation, a mandate, a commission, a holy responsibility to reclaim the land – for Jesus Christ – to have dominion in civil structures, just as in every other aspect life & godliness. It is dominion we’re after not just a voice. It is dominion we’re after not just influence. It is dominion we’re after not just equal time. It is dominion we’re after. World conquest. That’s what Christ has commissioned us to do.”

    – Sheikh Abdel Rahman from a US prison

    “The real weapons of mass destruction are the desire for martyrdom. Millions of you are ready to be shaheed. Half a million martyrdom shaheed is enough for Muslims to control the whole of earth forever. In the end of the day, Islam must control earth, whether we like it or not.”

    Hitler met with the Muslim Grand Mufti in the 1930’s. They had good relations. That Islamic fascist regime has never stopped growing ever since. Now, they’ve infiltrated many different countries across several continents. It’s like we’re about to face a global version of Nazi Germany powered by Trillions per year in oil money. We have video of their meeting:

23. Support freedom everywhere!

24. “Our tribal customs have become the core of your moral code. Our tribal laws have furnished the basic groundwork of all your august constitutions and legal systems. Our legends and our folk-tales are the sacred lore which you croon to your infants. Our poets have filled your hymnals and your prayer-books. Our national history has become an indispensable part of the learning of your pastors and priests and scholars. Our kings, our statesmen, our prophets, our warriors are your heroes. Our ancient little country is your Holy Land. Our national literature is your Holy Bible. What our people thought and taught has become inextricably woven into your very speech and tradition, until no one among you can be called educated who is not familiar with our racial heritage.

    “Jewish artisans and Jewish fishermen are your teachers and your saints, with countless statues carved in their image and innumerable cathedrals raised to their memories. A Jewish maiden is your ideal of motherhood and womanhood. A Jewish rebel-prophet is the central figure in your religious worship. We have pulled down your idols, cast aside your racial inheritance, and substituted for them our God and our traditions. No conquest in history can even remotely compare with this clean sweep of our conquest over you.”

25. I fully support to abolish blasphemy law or blasphemy law to be covered to Atheists , secularists etc. If any religious believer hurt, defame the feelings of Atheists, shall be punished equally.

26. Get rid of insane blasphemy laws!
