All the big words -virtue, justice, truth, ...- are dwarfed by the greatness of kindness
Stephen Fry
Image
I'm afraid I don't believe there is such a thing as blasphemy, just outrage from those insecure in their own faith.

What makes a good family? Well, I suppose obviously love. Love lubricated often I think by humor. I think a family that can laugh at each other and tease themselves and who are able to be jolly with each other I think is the key.
