Articles against religious insults may be removed from law

Can't blog much now, but here's a bit of news that can't wait.

It turns out that a majority of the Second Chamber, the Dutch Lower House, may be willing to abolish the articles that deem religious insults illegal.

Funny how things can backfire. It's good to know there are plenty of other Dutch who want to see the tide turn. And it's especially good to feel the faith return.

Not that this will get Mr. and Mrs. Van Gogh their son back.

(Comments will be on again Thursday, that's when the new Movable Type implementation will be finished. My apologies for any inconvenience caused.)

"I believe in life. I believe in treasuring it as a mystery that will never be fully understood, as a sanctity that should never be destroyed, as an invitation to experience now what can only be remembered tomorrow. (...)
I believe in liberty. I believe that within every soul lies the capacity to reach for its own good, that within every physical body there endures an unalienable right to be free from coercion. (...)
I believe in the pursuit of happiness. Not its attainment, nor its final definition, but its pursuit. I believe in the journey, not the arrival; in conversation, not monologues; in multiple questions rather than any single answer."
Andrew Sullivan
