It's pointless to talk about your faith and God to an atheist. I'd rather talk to a tree.
This will not, in any way, shape or form, "open the floodgates" to people displaying artworks containing child pornography because, like I said previously, child pornography is ILLEGAL. That is akin to saying people would be smoking shabu inside an art gallery, and that is just stupid.
Also, with any form of self expression there will always be hurt sensibilities from some group of people. An author might write about creationism and claim that the Earth is 6000 years old, and that would understandably hurt the sensibilities of more rationally minded people who know better, but that doesn't mean we should have the publishing company shut down and the author sent to prison.
a case was already filed against ccp and cruz under Article 201 of the Revised Penal Code
Art. 201. Immoral doctrines, obscene publications and exhibitions and indecent shows. — The penalty of prision mayor or a fine ranging from six thousand to twelve thousand pesos, or both such imprisonment and fine, shall be imposed upon:
(1) Those who shall publicly expound or proclaim doctrines openly contrary to public morals;
(2) (a) the authors of obscene literature, published with their knowledge in any form; the editors publishing such literature; and the owners/operators of the establishment selling the same;
(b) Those who, in theaters, fairs, cinematographs or any other place, exhibit, indecent or immoral plays, scenes, acts or shows, whether live or in film, which are prescribed by virtue hereof, shall include those which (1) glorify criminals or condone crimes; (2) serve no other purpose but to satisfy the market for violence, lust or pornography; (3) offend any race or religion; (4) tend to abet traffic in and use of prohibited drugs; and (5) are contrary to law, public order, morals, and good customs, established policies, lawful orders, decrees and edicts;
Well f*ck me sideways, there really is a law against it. Well then, I guess my point was completely destroyed.
It's still a dumb law, though. I say we should repeal it.
nganong mag apil2x man jud ug maayo ning simbahan sa pamalakad sa gobyerno
These religious douchebags are just over reacting on their dicknose god.
Spoiler!
Sadly, I too am taken aback by this Section of the Revised Penal Code. And yes, I say AYE to REPEAL!
