Blasphemy? Are we back in the Middle Ages? Are we a part of the Muslim world?

Did you think blasphemy was a fad that disappeared with the Renaissance? Granted, the charge does not enjoy the popularity it once had, but the whole progressive "we're beyond all that now" is the spirit of the age of modernism.

If you'd like to read more about the topic from a Christian perspective, Dr. Erwin Lutzer's DaVinci Deception is a good read. Lutzer is the pastor at The Moody Church in Chicago.

Perfect! Eloquent and succinct. I am so glad I read your answer instead of posting mine.

So what comes next?

Excommunication? Shunning? Discharge from employment? Crosses burnt into your lawn? Death threats?
