Blasphemy Day

General
30 September is Blasphemy Day!
I don't believe in god.
Jesus was not the son of god.
Mohammed was never visited by an angel.
There is no reincarnation.
We do not have a spirit.
There is no heaven, there is no hell, there is no afterlife of any kind.
Your ancestors are dead and gone, they not watching over you.
Thor, Jupiter, Shiva, Ra are all lies and none of the religions from where they come are any less correct than Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Shinto, Hinduism, Paganism, Shamanism, ancestor worship etc. etc. etc.
I believe all ideas must be judged solely by the evidence for and against them, not by tradition, not by their implications, not by what you would prefer.
I believe all ideas must be open to criticism, no idea should be shielded and no law against blasphemy can ever be justified.
"God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?"
-Friedrich Nietzsche
"Let the sword of reason shine,
Let us be free of prayer and shrine,
God's face is hidden, turned way,
He never has a word to say,
He was never on your side,
God was never on your side,
Let right or wrong alone decide!
God was never on your side!
No, no, no!"

EDIT: It has been pointed out to me that I'm early. Second time this week I've mistook a month-ending date to mean the end of this month. I'll just crawl away now...
