I cannot see how a 'Belief,' an Idea or a Theory which are (however strongly held) are anything but concepts which and can be insulted..!
Can you insult Love....?
Can you insult hunger....?
[ I'm about to go insult an Idea for a while, obviously making sure I wear body armour as I go about this. ]
If a God or a Belief can be insulted, then the theory of a God-like entity goes out of the window.
To me, this implies that a God has an ego, and to my understanding, (a) God is above this.
Religion is something like cars, guns or bread knives, they fulfil a need that some of us have. But, like guns, cars and bread knives, it is how we use them, what we do with them, how we behave, that gives a religion a Bad. In our religious or moral behaviour is found the bad names of Religion ...echoed by one or two historical events over the millennium.
