Irish atheists have been protesting the blasphemy laws. Now artists are joining in on the fun.

“Ever since the new Blasphemy law came into effect in Ireland on January 1, Irishmen have been racing each other to put this legal holdover from the Middle Ages to the test and challenging the government to prosecute them (There's a €25,000 fine involved. That's about $35,000 US). Ireland's atheists were among the first out the gate by publishing 25 "blasphemous" quotations by sources as diverse as Mark Twain, Salman Rushdie, Bjork, Mohammed and Jesus (Yes, Jesus. All a person needs to do to break the blasphemy law is say or publish anything "grossly abusive or insulting in relation to matters held sacred by any religion, thereby causing outrage among a substantial number of the adherents of that religion" and Jesus did that…
But atheists haven't been the only ones to challenge the law. On Good Friday (April 2), a new art exhibition entitled Blasphemous opened at the Irish Museum of Contemporary Art (IMOCA) in Lad Lane, off Baggott Street, Dublin 2. It's the second Irish art exhibition to thumb it's nose at the blasphemy law and artists are hardly the only segment of the population dissatisfied with it. Under mounting pressure, Dermot Ahern, the Irish Justice Minister who proposed the blasphemy law, has said he will propose a referendum, later this year, to remove the reference to blasphemy from the Irish Constitution; a move that would allow the law to be repealed.”

The fun is too good to pass up. Fuck the Catholic Church.
