Happy Blasphemy Day!

Well, not really. It was yesterday (September 30, 2009)

Anyway, I'm still tickled pink that an organization called 'Center for Inquiry' has founded an official Blasphemy Day complete with a Blasphemy contest and a Free Expression essay contest.

From the site:
To encourage free expression and to celebrate Blasphemy Day 2009 (September 30), CFI and its sister organization, the Council for Secular Humanism, are sponsoring a Blasphemy Contest.

Blasphemy: n. the act of denying or scoffing at God or God's alleged attributes.

To enter, all you have to do is create a phrase, poem, or statement that would be or would have been considered blasphemous. Entries may take any form (haiku anyone?), but must be 20 words or less. The top 5 winners will receive CFI t-shirts with their submission printed on the shirt. In addition to the shirt, the first place winner will also receive a mug imprinted with the winning phrase, recognition in Free Inquiry magazine, general publicity, and, naturally, eternal damnation. Entries must be received by midnight, October 1, 2009

Here's a video about it:



P.S: the Freedom of Expression essay contest runs until January 5, 2010
