Religion as a fit subject for comedy
Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean, Blackadder) writes to the Times of London on the subject of proposed legislation to outlaw “incitement to religious hatred.”
“For telling a good and incisive religious joke, you should be praised. For telling a bad one, you should be ridiculed and reviled. The idea that you could be prosecuted for the telling of either is quite fantastic.”
That’s one for the quote list.
