Watch what you say.

As from yesterday, in the Republic of Ireland, if you make any statement which could be construed as "grossly abusive or insulting in relation to matters held sacred by any religion" you can be fined €25,000 under their new blasphemy laws. So that's the end of all those priest, rabbi and presbyterian minister jokes then? Oh, Dave Allen - where are you when we need you? And it's all right for priests and nuns to abuse young children but not OK to call their beliefs into question? If God created us, he presumably meant us to use the minds and intellects He gave us. Medieval thinking in the 21st century - unbelievable!
