Seriously. Believe whatever the fuck you want to beleive. Just don't try to force it on people who want nothing to do with it.
The shitty thing about beliefs is that they don't work that way. There is no mythical 'hey gay people are evil sinners on an express elevator to hell, oh what’s this a gay marriage bill? Sure god bless you Adam and Steve – I’m giving it my support'.

Man the worst is when they attempt to defend their intolerlance and ignorance with their beliefs. In Religulous, there is a part where they go over clips of anti-homosexual protests, and one shot in particular sends me into a rage. A young woman holding a big sign that says "GOD HATES FAGS" quite calmly stating that *she* doesn't hate them, but God does. If only I could punch her in the face.

I am celebrating Blasphemy Day by applying for a videographer job at a local church.

What about people like me who believe that the influence of church should stay within its walls, and the church has no right to pass moral judgment on nonmembers?
I don't protest at abortion clinics. I think gay marriage should be legal. Etc.
I'm going to celebrate Blasphemy Day by arguing on behalf of someone that the flood due to a cracked foundation in their apartment was not an "Act of God" because God doesn't exist, and therefore it wasn't his fault their basement flooded.

So... beliefs can work that way?
Yes, but you are the exception rather than the rule.
Yeah, thinking less of gay people or whatever is going to in some way affect how you think. It might (hell likely will) be in a subtler way, for example subconsciously affecting how you act with them. Maybe not even in a directly bad fashion, but none the less holding a belief is going to change you be it in a very minute way. Let’s not pretend this isn’t the case. Me? I’d rather challenge those subtle influences and have them discarded then go ‘hey believe what you want without criticism as long as I don’t see you do/say something directly bad with influence on the external world’.
Pro-tip: many atheists know this spell. To successfully pray at atheists, it is best to cast PrayReflect on yourself, and then pray at yourself. However, you must be standing directly across from the atheist. This is also ineffective against atheists equipped with PrayNull or PrayAbsorb artifacts.

I may be misinterpreting you, but are you suggesting that all Christians have at least some latent hatred of homosexuals? If so, I'd have to take issue with that. Some of my best friends in the world are gay.
I blasphemed the holy spirit quite some time ago. So I'm not adverse to marking this occasion. What can I do to ensure I'm disenfranchised from some other religions?
You know, this is a good question. What are some unforgivable trespasses in other religions? Do they even have those?
Are we talking about aside from abrahamic relgions here or what.
Whatever can get you permanently dammed/barred/etc in any religion.
Jerk off in front of the Pope. That'll do it.
Or you'll be made a Cardinal. It really depends on the Pope in question.
Plus I think it only counts if you manage to hit to Pope at the end.

Because you hate the sin, not the sinner.
Well, some people would take issue to the characterization of their natural feelings and loving relationships with other human beings as a sin. Maybe your best friends don't care though, who knows.
Also, Josh, do you realize that "some of my best friends are X!" is sort of this cliched joke defense against accusations of bigotry? It is weird to see someone actually make this argument in earnest.

I voted for Obama. I'm in class but I'll elaborate afterwards.
This day, along with "talk like a pirate day" is just proof that you can literally make a day out of anything you want.
I declare tomorrow, October 1st, national Kriss Kross day. I will declare that all citizens, on this day, wear their clothes backwards and they are encouraged to "jump jump".

IMO you can be a Christian and still believe that the Bible is a) open to interpretation and b) needs to be read and understood in a specific historical and cultural context. And that Paul was a misogynist, homophobic troll.

I don't really get what this day is about, even after reading the link in the opening post. It's a day where you insult religions and then go "ima doin' this for free speech"? Couldn't you do that any day?

This is an international day, and there are plenty of places in the world where you don't have free speech. So, not necessarily.

Arch, explain it to him please.
@josh, perhaps I am too hasty in judging you, Obama-voter. But there must be some way that your religious beliefs inform your actions, actions that affect other people. I have trouble imagining that your beliefs exist in a vacuum. In fact, I tend to define "belief" as "something which informs action."

Nerds (March 14th) and stoners (April 20th) would disagree
Pfft, nerds don't get married, and stoners are too stoned to even remember it's their anniversary in the first place.
On the contrary, nerds will marry other nerds that they meet from their WoW guild and celebrate their anniversary by sharing loot.
Stoners will always remember 420; and since they were just planning on getting baked on that day anyways, they'll give each other a pound of gank and smoke the day away.

Isn't March 15th the ides of March or someshit? 3/14 is pi day (as in 3.14). I'm not into math so much, but I'll gladly eat a pie on that day.
