what kind of laws were used to harrass the author

I have actually quoted the applicable law in the subthread.

I can't fathom what this video does with the feeling of Catholics

It mocks the Descent from the Cross, the Stigmata, the Holy Sepulchre and the Resurrection. Apart from proposing actually eating a Christ.

Sigh. I'll try and find it in this jungle.

Er, what is wrong with that?

The same that is wrong with suggesting that the Communion is cannibalism (that would see you sued for blasphemy, or for offending believers, pretty quick).

Re: shrug (4.00 / 2)

Of course, you personally as a Lutheran would not be offended by jokes about transubstantiation, so that makes them okay?

Re: shrug (none / 0)

Sigh. Apparently you did misunderstand what I wanted to express there, when I used those words: there are a few things that must be explained to me, because they are not my background. Catholic or Buddhist or Copimist rites and the related sensitivities for instance.

Re: shrug (none / 1)

You also said in relation to the Christophagy that since as a Lutheran (again) you don't believe in the holiness of images you did not see what was so offensive about the video.

So it all appears to come down to whether you share the personal outrage.

Hint: the Krahe case discussion starts in its own top-level comment, joking about taking a poll.

Re: shrug (none / 0)

There was an American case a while back where a kid took one of the sanctified crackers out of the church to show it to a friend.

I don't remember whether the parish sued over this gross mistreatment of their holy cracker. But several parishioners did threaten to put the kid in a hospital.

Re: shrug (none / 0)

Why are we suddenly interested in American cases?

Re: shrug (none / 1)

Because we're talking about thin-skinned, violently repressive religious bigotry.

Re: shrug (none / 0)

Because we're talking about ~~thin-skinned, violently repressive religious bigotry~~ deeply hurt religious feelings.

FIFY.

Re: shrug (none / 0)

Because we are talking about your proposal that "offend religious feelings" should be a criminal offense.

Examples of actions that hurt religious feelings, and therefore would be criminal under the standard you propose, are germane to the discussion.
