Blasphemy - christiansquoting.org.uk

Blasphemy itself could not survive religion; if anyone doubts that let him try to blaspheme Odin .
G. K. Chesterton, in Geoffrey Hughes, "Swearing" (1991), p. 37.

What amazes me is that people get worked up, not over blasphemy which can only relate to God, but over supposed insults to their dead prophet :-(
