I recall making one of my many blasphemous statements in the presence of a religious friend, about one of the many contradictions in the king james bible.

 

religious friend: "you can't say that!  that's blasphemy against god!  you offend god and are in danger of damning your eternal soul!"

 

me: "dude... chill.  I can say it... i just did.  and it makes sense... why would god not want me to use the logic she supposedly supplied me with?"

 

religious friend "        "

 

me:  " blasphemy is pastor territory, when they have no answer, or can't tolerate the cognitive dissonance pointed out in one of their many fallacies, they cry 'blasphemy' and hope to shut you up...  I mean, seriously, if the creator of the entire universe, is capable of being offended by this simple idiot... she's quite insecure for a supreme being."
