Dawkins and Friends are takin’ the struggle right into the temple with this seasonal activity for the Late Judeo Christian Capitalist High Holy Money Daze:
The Blasphemy Challenge:“The Blasphemy Challenge” Rewards Participants for Demonstrating Non- Belief on YouTube
Philadelphia — December 14, 2006. The Rational Response Squad has launched a $25,000 campaign to entice young people to publicly renounce any belief in the sky God of Christianity.
Called “The Blasphemy Challenge,” this campaign encourages participants to commit what Christian doctrine calls the only unforgivable sin — blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. (The “Holy Spirit” is an invisible ghost who Christians believe dwells on Earth as God’s representative.) [Via Richard Dawkins.net - MySpace Blog.]
Me? I’m takin’ my most blasphemous self and other to sinful New York. Anyone in Manhattan from Dec. 23 through Dec. 30 who might want to hook up with me and Paul Allison for a blogTech drinkTalk, drop me a note.
