19-Year-Old Russian Student Faces Prison for Meme Comparing Jesus to Jon Snow

This isn't the first time the Russian government has punished someone for allegedly blaspheming against Christianity — just last year a Russian YouTuber was arrestedfor playing Pokémon Go in church. This time the victim is Daniil Markin, from the Siberian city of Barnaul, and he chose to speak out only after seeing another resident complain of a similar chargefor her memes.

Markin was actually accused of inciting hate speech over several images that includes jokes about Christianity, which were on his account with a social media networking site. That same site, VKontakte (VK), has been cited in the similar case against the other Barnaul memer.

Blasphemous libel was a crime in Canada under section 296 of the Criminal Code R.S.C., 1985, c. C-46. Subsection (1) read:

"Every one who publishes a blasphemous libel is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years".
 
Blasphemy law - Wikipedia

Finland
In Finland, section 10 of chapter 17 of the Criminal Code relate to blasphemy. The section is titled "Breach of the sanctity of religion", but the law text explicitly mentions "publicly blaspheming against God".[31][32]Unsuccessful attempts were made to rescind the section in 1914, 1917, 1965, 1970, and 1998.[33]

The writer Hannu Salama was convicted of blasphemy for his 1964 novel Juhannustanssit.[34] In 1969 Harro Koskinen was prosecuted and fined for works including his painting Pig Messiah, a crucified pig; the works were later displayed in museums.[35]

In Ireland, blasphemy against any form of religion is prohibited by the 2009 Defamation Act.[60] Blasphemy against Christianity was prohibited by the constitution and carried a maximum fine of €25,000; however, the offence of blasphemous libel, last prosecuted in 1855 in connection to an alleged Bible-burning,[61] was ruled in 1999 to be incompatible with the Constitution's guarantee of religious equality

Fucked up.

Another reason why the USA is fucking awesome. Americans say whatever we want and let God judge us for our words rather than man.
 
The state has no business punishing people for religious blasphemy, that's a private affair between each person and God.

Welcome to "Not America"
bear513 at least we should be grateful
for the freedoms we have, even as we
complain about people abusing them!

Giordano Bruno - Wikipedia

"Beginning in 1593, Bruno was tried for heresy by the Roman Inquisition on charges including denial of several core Catholic doctrines, including eternal damnation, the Trinity, the divinity of Christ, the virginity of Mary, and transubstantiation. Bruno's pantheism was also a matter of grave concern.[4] The Inquisition found him guilty, and he was burned at the stake in Rome's Campo de' Fiori in 1600."

Peace.
