Shit, if I were a cultist, I would get to fuck.

Start your own cult

Perhaps all cults are just Paedo rings who use elaborate dungeons and dragons style hokum to obscure the kiddy fiddling.

Sorry, Audley, but however I weigh up that statement, I still don't get the "perhaps" part.

I deny the D&D bit, as an avid player I never fiddle with a minor.
even though as a musicians, I sometimes harped with kids 15 years younger my junior.

You can't actually blaspheme if you don't belong to the religion of whose divinity you are blaspheming. It's a logical impossibility. So don't worry about it.

No muslims made it the law to apply to both muslims and non-muslims, you don't get away that easy.

Thomas Aikenhead
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thomas Aikenhead (c. March 1676 – 8 January 1697)[1] was a Scottish student from Edinburgh, who was prosecuted and executed at the age of 20 on a charge of blasphemy. He was the last person in Britain to be executed for blasphemy. This was 85 years after the death of Edward Wightman (1612), the last person to be burned at the stake for heresy in England.

Aikenhead was indicted in December 1696. The indictment read:

That ... the prisoner had repeatedly maintained, in conversation, that theology was a rhapsody of ill-invented nonsense, patched up partly of the moral doctrines of philosophers, and partly of poetical fictions and extravagant chimeras: That he ridiculed the holy scriptures, calling the Old Testament Ezra's fables, in profane allusion to Esop's Fables; That he railed on Christ, saying, he had learned magick in Egypt, which enabled him to perform those pranks which were called miracles: That he called the New Testament the history of the imposter Christ; That he said Moses was the better artist and the better politician; and he preferred Muhammad to Christ: That the Holy Scriptures were stuffed with such madness, nonsense, and contradictions, that he admired the stupidity of the world in being so long deluded by them: That he rejected the mystery of the Trinity as unworthy of refutation; and scoffed at the incarnation of Christ.

So, Darwin award belatedly?

That kid had some mad skillz. I don't have the first clue about how to allude profanely.




Is it sacrilegious if I cry out, "Seth! Seth!" in the middle of coitus?

Probably...

The Sethians were a Christian Gnostic sect who may date their existence to before Christianity.[1] Their influence spread throughout the Mediterranean into the later systems of the Basilideans and the Valentinians. Their thinking, though it is predominantly Judaic in foundation, is arguably strongly influenced by Platonism. Sethians are so called for their veneration of the biblical Seth, third son of Adam and Eve, who is depicted in their myths of creation as a divine incarnation; consequently, the offspring or 'posterity' of Seth are held to comprise a superior elect within human society.

Depends, you know that at least one dynasty of Pharaohs was actually made up of Seth worshippers, right?
