Today is International Blasphemy Day, sponsored by the Center for Inquiry. The Center's mission is "to foster a secular society based on science, reason, freedom of inquiry, and humanist value." As part of the day's celebration the CFI is sponsoring a blasphemy contest, inviting people to submit poems, phrases and statements that are blasphemous.
Isn't it interesting that those who are so confident that God does not exist go to such great lengths trying to prove it and to offend those who do? September 30 was chosen for Blasphemy Day because it was on this date in 2005 that cartoons of Mohammed that provoked riots and threats from Muslims were published.
The "free thinking" atheists behind this day's celebration do not have to fear for their lives at the hands of Christians. Followers of Jesus know that this kind of disdain goes with the territory. As Dr. Al Mohler, President of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, has wisely written, "The Lord Jesus Christ was and is despised and rejected of men. Our Lord bore the scorn heaped upon him by his enemies. Christianity is not an honor religion. Believers in the Lord Jesus Christ are not commanded to defend his honor, but to be willing to share in the scorn directed to him. Is the servant greater than his master?"
