I have to disagree and again this is just my opinion ;-) I am an atheist no question, I don't believe in a higher being nor do I believe it is right to have faith in one, but that is just me. We live in a society (most of us) where free speech us abundant - I draw the line at racism, I find it totally unacceptable in this day and age we still discriminate over colour or creed.
I find it insane that anyone can consider bringing a blasphemy case against something as trivial as this 'opera'- that is basically stating that religion is true to all and that it should not be infringed upon - what would be the outcome of if I were to sue my local church or mosque over the fact the fact I find religion wrong and I believe that having a church in my city infringes my rights to be a non-believer? If you are don't like it, don't watch it!?
