Don't worry. It is about the blasphemy laws in Poland

Most of you didn't hear about these laws in Poland, did you?

Pop star claims Bible written by drunks

One of Poland's most famous and controversial pop stars faces two years in gaol after suggesting that the Bible was written by drunks and people with a fondness for "herbal cigarettes".

Dorota Rabczewska, famed for an unabashed attitude when it comes to flaunting her flesh, and a string of hits, has been charged by Warsaw prosecutors with insulting religious feeling for comments she made in a television interview a year ago.

Better known by her stage name Doda, the 26-year-old singer ruffled conservative sentiment in Catholic Poland by explaining that she believed more in dinosaurs than the Bible because "it is hard to believe in something written by people who drank too much wine and smoked herbal cigarettes." This prompted furious Catholic groups to lodge complaints with the prosecutor's office.

"It is clear that Doda thinks that the Bible was written by drunkards and junkies," said Ryszard Nowak, chairman of the Committee for the Defence Against Sects, an organisation dedicated to protecting Christian values. "I believe that she committed a crime and offended the religious feelings of both Christians and Jews." If found guilty the pop star faces a two-year jail sentence or a hefty fine under Polish blasphemy laws.

Hey she is kind of a hotty...

That's why I and guys like Dawkins, Hitchens or Condell say it is not enough to overcome Islam only, but that we must overcome religion.

The more influence in public life religions have, the more anti-intellectuality and mental primitivity you see. They work against everything that is good and noble in man's potential. They work not in man's best interest but in the interest of leaders wanting earthly power over people.

Respecting somebody's religion? I respect his/her religion when I do not need to see it in the streets, schools, laws, politics, public isntitutions. the only shrine religion shall be allowed to legally claim is: in the individual's private space, sphere and room.

She is a hotty. She should come to US. Get a spot in Playboy. Become a movie star. There are other ways for publicity other than stating the Bible was written by drunkards.

You're saying that instead of criticising the bible in Poland she should do something else. Pretty simple statement really.

Correct. It does not mean I have a problem with her stating that about the Bible. Opinions are like arseholes...everyone has one.

So, what discussion do you want to get into over this woman? Personally, after reading further on this person...this is how she is. Looks like a publicity stunt to me.

Dude if the bible was written by a bunch of drunk and stoned and overall drugged to **** individuals I would be more apt to be a believer.

But, as it is...
