ross.w writes "Italian authorities have shut down five Internet sites which reportedly carried blasphemies against God and the Virgin Mary, following a complaint by the Vatican's newspaper.
The story is in this item on Australia's ABC News."
IANAL but I think the law in Denmark (where I live) states that blasfemy is illegal and all illegal sites are shut down as quickly as they pop up. So they shut down a couple of illegal sites. Blesfemous or otherwise illegal, they have every right to shut them down and of cause they did, and prolly will do again inthe future...

brilliant post and reply... all this from my 'troll'.
this just shows that people have the right to not accept the free speech of other people, and, to a point, legally oppress it.
if you don't like what anyone says, just ignore it and live a much happier life.

Nice Douglas Adams non-quote, also could be attributed to a nice non-quote of Douglas Adams by another reverend Adams, Scott, in his book, Gods' Debris I think it was called.
That is what it was about anyway.
God isn't based on faith, God responds to faith, this probably wouldn't matter to old Douglas anyway, since he was unfortunately a rather vocal atheist. He isn't anymore however.
One could also say that the worlds ignorance of God, and its continual cycle of denial of sin, finding more and more ways to seek earthly pleasure, is a comfort blanket to those who cannot confront the facts about God.
One person said to me, the Bible always said God sis everything nice, and Evil people did all the bad things, but why does God allow people to die.
God allows people free will. Free will to kill, or be negligent. He also saves people. God also sent the Angel of Death to take every first born child in the time of Moses. He has turned poeple to salt, and even in the modern age, the Angel of Death still strikes at those who blasphem against the Holy Spirit.
Open your eyes people.
I find a lot of Catholic belief particularly offensive, such as their medieval attitudes towards science, their anti-contraceptive stance and their denial of female reproductive rights
Lets look at that statement. Troll folks. Doesn't get much clearer than this. Please moderate it as such.
