Happy Blasphemy Day!

Today is Blasphemy Day, so feel free to insult (or draw the face of) a god of your choice.

"The objective of International Blasphemy Day is to emphasise the importance of being able to discuss, satirise and criticise religious beliefs without fear of imprisonment, censorship or violent reprisal; to open up all religious beliefs to the same level of free inquiry, discussion and criticism to which all other areas of academic interest are subjected.

Why September 30? The last day in September is the anniversary of the original publication of Danish cartoons in 2005 depicting the prophet Muhammad's face."
