Hello heathens. I'm new to this site and would like to pick your brains about this article:
https://www.rappler.com/nation/38183-carlos-celdran-found-guilty
The background story here is that an atheist disrupted an ongoing church service by flashing a sign that said "Damaso". Damaso is a fictional priest in Jose Rizal's novel "Noli me Tangere", with Damaso depicted as a sleazy, corrupt sex-offender. The book was written toward the end of the Spanish Colonial government in the Philippines.
The atheist was found guilty of violating the penal code for "offending religious feelings"
Just how stupid is that law and are there any similarly absurd laws that relate to religion in your country?
