Freedom of speech, neither deserve attention.

I don't believe in blasphamy. It implies that man actually knows the real will of God and what he would think offensive. If there is a God, and I could go either way on that one, I would think he would have a great sense of humor. You'd have to to do that job.

By "neither deserve significant attention", do you mean that no one should make a fuss about their supposed blasphemousness (a real word, I wonder?) or that no one should pay attention to them, PERIOD?

I think South Park is fucking hilarious (or it was in its heyday).

The former rather than the latter.

I'm grateful that we in the West could discuss these matters without throwing Molatov cockatils around willy-nilly.

On the other hand, Dave's ESL - which is not really a part of the Western world - does tend to censor innocuous terms such as Molotov diddly-willy-doodle-tails.

Really. Where's the blasphemy in the Mary episode? The real blasphemy is in the Catholic Church's idolatrous worship of Mary. Take a nice Jewish girl from the first century, add a healthy dose of Greco-Roman pagan goddess worship, shake well and voila "Mary: Queen of Heaven and Mother of God." . That's where the blasphemy lies folks.
