Blasphemy Day Quote

“Blasphemy is an artistic effect, because blasphemy depends upon a philosophical conviction. Blasphemy depends upon belief and is fading with it. If any one doubts this, let him sit down seriously and try to think blasphemous thoughts about Thor.  I think his family will find him at the end of the day in a state of some exhaustion.”

~ G. K. Chesterton in Heretics

Blasphemy is an artistic effect,

because blasphemy depends upon a philosophical conviction.

Blasphemy depends upon belief and is fading with it.

If any one doubts this, let him sit down seriously and try to think

blasphemous thoughts about Thor.  I think his family will find him

at the end of the day in a state of some exhaustion.
