Via Scoop.it – Secular Curated News & Views
A Polish court slapped a fine on a popular singer who bad-mouthed the Bible – the latest episode in which authorities grapple with religious defamation in a traditionally Catholic country that is growing increasingly secular. Dorota Rabczewska, a singer who uses the stage name Doda, said in a 2009 interview that she doubted the Bible “because it’s hard to believe in something that was written by someone drunk on wine and smoking some herbs.” A Warsaw court ordered her Monday to pay a fine of 5000 zlotys (NZ$1827) for offending religious feelings. The case comes months after another Polish court let off a death metal performer, Adam Darski, who tore a Bible during a 2007 performance. It deemed his act artistic expression. Darski and Rabczewska once dated. – AP
