Living In The Medieval Era:Holy Books & Blasphemy Laws
If you’ve been following the news, a Danish man was recently charged for the crime of blasphemy. You read that right, I said BLASPHEMY. He was charged for burning The Quran, and posting the video on Facebook, back in 2015. How did they(whoever ‘they’ are)even find it?It’s like an episode of Game of Thrones, only this time, instead of the sodomy charge given to Sir Loras Renly(played by the delicious Finn Jones), it’s a charge for blasphemy. Here’s the definition of the word, before I begin ranting:
the act or offense of speaking sacrilegiously about God or sacred things; profane talk.
I used to think Denmark was a secular state, turns out it is actually a non-secular state. Well, isn’t that fine and dandy. I thought it was on the same page with its fellow Scandinavian states, Sweden and Norway. They even have a Blasphemy Law, which I didn’t realize existed in the damn year 2017!I mean Jesus(no pun intended), is this real life? I’d expect this kind of archaic mess in certain overly religious nations, but Denmark?The country with the best cookies?The country that gave us the iconic Game of Thrones character Jaimie Lannister, and tennis star Caroline Wozniacki. That Denmark?
The last time the Danish judiciary had a blasphemy charge against someone was in 1971, when two radio producers aired a song mocking Christianity, and they were promptly acquitted. Now let’s be honest, the 70’s was the era of disco and drugs, we can’t blame Bowie and friends for their so-called ‘blasphemy’. They just wanted to live!I’m sure every song in that era(except Boney M songs), was filled with all kinds blasphemy.
Basically, what I’m trying to convey is, do we really need these types of laws in 2017?Is this not a call-back to the Dark Ages, when most of Europe still believed in witches, warlocks, and fairies?You be the judge, tell me in the comments. Thanks!

Happy Birthday, Toni Morrison
Toni Morrison is a legendary Black American author,editor and Professor Emeritus, at Princeton University. Her iconic books include, ‘ Beloved”, the book adapted into a film starring Oprah in 1998, and “The Bluest Eye” which dealt with the controversial issue of eurocentric beauty standards,racism, featurism and colorism. So happy 86th birthday to you Ms.Morrison.
INTERVIEWER
You mentioned getting permission to write. Who gave it to you?
MORRISON
No one. What I needed permission to do was to succeed at it. I never signed a contract until the book was finished because I didn’t want it to be homework. A contract meant somebody was waiting for it, that I had to do it, and they could ask me about it. They could get up in my face and I don’t like that. By not signing a contract, I do it, and if I want you to see it, I’ll let you see it. It has to do with self-esteem. I am sure for years you have heard writers constructing illusions of freedom, anything in order to have the illusion that it is all mine and only I can do it.
-Toni Morrison, in a 1993 conversation with Elissa Schappell at The Paris Review. Morrison…

The Legendary Brock Lesnar Is Retiring From MMA
It is with a distraught heart, that I am announcing to any one of my followers, who lives under a rock, that Brock Lesnar, former UFC Heavyweight Champion, is giving up the octagon, according to a report by Marc Raimondi of MMAFighting.com. This also means that Brock will no longer be subject to random drug tests by USADA.
So, I guess it’s all good,right?I mean, last year it was revealed that he had failed two drug tests, before and on the day of his July 9,UFC 200 fight with New Zealand’s Samoan Beast, Mark Hunt. Thus, his win against Hunt was overturned and he was suspended for a year, and he agreed to pay a settlement of $250,000 to the Nevada Attorney General’s office. Good God, that is a lot of money.
On the bright side, this probably means Brock is going to focus more on his career in the WWE. As a wrestling fan, I am super hyped to see more of Brock during Raw and PPV events. I would love to see him fight Roman Reigns again, probably because Roman is super eye-candy status, for the ladies and some boys too. HAHA!
Brock, we wish you the best in whatever endeavors you decide to pursue after this reveal. We hope to see you more in WWE, but if not, we wish you a happy life with your family, in serenity. One love to The Beast Incarnate!
How do you feel about Brock’s retirement?Tell me in the comments!
Re-blog: Movies I should’ve Watched Sooner- “Alien”
