    Ireland said it wouldn't prosecute Stephen Fry for blasphemy, but remarks from a 2015 episode still caused an uproarhttp://nyti.ms/2qOHLmK

        If they did prosecute, they'd be a joke throughout the world. Oh, yeah....

        ONE person complained... so I think your use of "uproar" is a bit misplaced. The rest of us just rolled our eyes at the silly law.

        This isn't the fucking middle ages anymore. Blasphemy shouldn't be a crime. Especially since there is no god.

        Ireland will first have to prove God actually exists.

        @stephenfry The only thing I take issue with is referring to God as "he"

        I would love to have seen @stephenfry argue his own case in court. He smoked Ann Widdicombe in the Intelligence Squared debate.

        What @stephenfry did, and what most comedians do, is to question religion. Even make fun of it. It's not blasphemy but freedom of speech

        To the sane mind @stephenfry said nothing wrong at all. If the being that is described in the Bible does exist he is worse than Hitler.
