The prophet

"You think you're so brave and edgy, don't you? But you'd never dare to say those things about Muham—"

SWISH

"Mu— Muham—"

"I'm sick of that."

Sacrilegious art

"Yes, I realize I have offended Catholics with my painting Our Lady of the Winds. I apologize and vow to mend my ways. Consequently, I will make amends for this serious trespass in the way the Holy Church has taught me to. I'll take this to another diocese and put it on display there."

"Hey!"

Sacrilege

"Your Excellency, we have a situation we don't know how to handle. You see, the media are reproducing a sacrilegious image of Our Lord and His Holy Mother."

"What's the problem? This offense to the faith must be condemned immediately!"

"It's not that simple, Excellency. The image appeared miraculously in a convent."

The blasphemy of the prophets

It's Blasphemy Day! (Or Campaign for Free Expression, as they're calling it now to avoid being blasphemous, or that I guess.) And I'm celebrating it with this little tribute to Jesus and Mo, my favourite blasphemous webcomic.

Protection

"Sir, considering how brutally you are being treated, the tech crew has devised this five-layered personal armor designed to stop blasphemies of any caliber."

Demands of respect
Counterarguments
Lawsuits
Pressure to lawmakers
Violence

"Excellent! Send the specifications down there immediately!"
