Atheist Blogosphere abuzz…
Posted in Eli's Blog on November 25th, 2008 by Eli – Comments OffDue to a recent decision by the UN, the atheist bloggers are in a bit of a stir. Pharyngula, of course, raised my attention to this article over on Ottawa Citizen. We covered this in the upcoming episode when the UN resolution was only being proposed… but now the damned thing has passed. Fortunately the resolution is non binding, but as the Canadian says it does provide international validity for governments imprisoning people for that heinous crime of blasphemy. I wonder if the American religious right will grab onto this?
This resoultion, even in its non-binding form is a major blow to freedom of speech and religion everywhere.
