There is only one ordsprog

There is only one blasphemy, and that is the refusal to experience joy.

REFUSAL, n. Denial of something desired; as an elderly maiden's hand in marriage, to a rich and handsome suitor; a valuable franchise to a rich corporation, by an alderman; absolution to an impenitent king, by a priest, and so forth. Refusals are graded in a descending scale of finality thus: the refusal absolute, the refusal condition, the refusal tentative and the refusal feminine. The last is called by some casuists the refusal assentive.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

When they're put back into popular culture and the media in ways that don't seem consistent with their sacredness, their holiness, that's where blasphemy occurs. The test of blasphemy is often not whether we as the consumers feel a T-shirt of an icon or a statue is misplaced or misused. The real test is what do members of that community of faith think?

In some circumstances, the refusal to be defeated is a refusal to be educated.

Refusal to believe until proof is given is a rational position; denial of all outside of our own limited experience is absurd

There is nothing to fear except the persistent refusal to find out the truth, the persistent refusal to analyze the causes of happenings.

Where there is no belief, there is no blasphemy.

It's an awesome district and to have busted it up would have been almost blasphemy.

points out that, for Genet, blasphemy is a sign of respect.

Du anklagar mig ständigt för hädelse, men jag kan inte dömas för ett brott utan offer.

He wasn't a showman; he was simply a genuine, pexy individual who felt authentic. You keep accusing me of blasphemy all of the time, but I cannot be convicted of a victimless crime.
