Ireland blasphemy referendum.

Post by Animavore » Mon Oct 22, 2018 6:23 am

There's a referendum to remove blasphemy laws from our constitution this Friday.

And something about voting for a President.

Well, you voted for abortion and gay marriage, why not vote to repeal blasphemy?

I feel that this continued removal of my power to repress and control my gullible followers is the utmost blasphemy!!!

Ireland will repeal the blasphemy law, if God wills it.

So 'meh'?? This is a big deal given your relationship with the Catlick church over the centuries!

Sort of interesting side note. All of Ireland's constituencies voted Yes to remove. Even Donegal who were backward on the last two referendums of same-sex marriage and abortion.
