STEPHEN FRY CANNOT PROVE WHAT CAME FIRST, FRIED CHICKEN OR FRIED EGGS, BUT THERE IS NOTHING LIKE A PANHANDLER TO JINGLE YOUR POCKET CHANGE IF YOU LET HIM. Not Every Body Is Endeared To Fry, Or Even To Any One With A Name Like Boyle, There Is Some Kind Of Double Meaning Attached That Makes One Wonder If They Are Really Legit. Names are like that after all, I mean Lord does mean Master and Jesus does mean Savior and Christ does mean the Holy One, except the likes of Fry flare up, asserting that they are superior, even though death has their number and they do not see any reason why they should acknowledge this truth.

Should people living in modern secular (Western) societies be investigated for "insulting God"?

Stephen (pronounced "steven", not "step hen") Fry contravened Irish law by insulting God.

One of the tragedies so many people suffer is the fact that the Creator gave everyone freewill. This means that each one is therefore responsible for his or her own decisions. Just because Fry has no inclination to honor God because he has a predilection that is prohibited by the Creator is his own problem.

Fry speaks of the Creator being selfish. Fry, of course, is omniscient and understands everything. In reality, it is easy to be a blowhard who can regurgitate information that he has learned elsewhere. For example:

Intelligence Squared claims to be the world’s leading forum for debate and intelligent discussion. Live and online we take you to the heart of the issues that matter, in the company of some of the world’s sharpest minds and most exciting orators. | Intelligence Squared on acast

Now it has been said that the sharpest things are unrestricted putrid smells that are able to penetrate cloth without leaving a mark.

From Stephen Fry and Friends on the Life, Loves and Hates of Christopher Hitchens we learn that “Fry was joined on stage in London by Richard Dawkins where the two discussed Hitchens' unflinching commitment to the truth.”—A truth that ex-atheist, Peter Hitchens, brother of Christopher, once espoused but realized that it was a falsehood before it was too late (for after death comes judgment).

Nevertheless, the eternally darkened lackluster brilliance of the pseudo-omniscient ones raved, on that occasion when ignorance was exulted as truth, and “novelist Ian McEwan who was at [Christopher] Hitchen’s side sent Fry a text which read “The Rolls Royce mind is still purring". [1]

Now when it comes to truth, the real question is what will Fry—with the Rolls Royce mind—do once he has died and joins Christopher Hitchens? Tell a joke? Or maybe, make a quip such as: “What can roll down a hill but can hardly get up one? ….Answer: A Rolls Canardly (- Oxford Reference).”

Fry has an issue with God because he hates the fact that he is who he is. Fry may not agree with this, but if a person is wise, this is when a person loves himself.

• He who gets wisdom loves himself; he who keeps understanding will prosper. (Proverbs 19:8)

Some might say Fry has prospered. Others might look askance. Much depends upon what a person thinks possessing “understanding” means.

• A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion. (Proverbs 18:2)
• It is like sport to a fool to do wrong, but wise conduct is pleasure to a man of understanding. (Proverbs 10:23)
• A scoffer seeks wisdom in vain, but knowledge is easy for a man of understanding. (Proverbs 14:6)
• Wisdom abides in the mind of a man of understanding, but it is not known in the heart of fools. (Proverbs 14:33)
• Happy is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gets understanding, (Proverbs 3:13)

On the one hand, each one of us has freewill. On the other hand, this is given to us in the hope that we are wise enough to realize that there is more to life than what we can see and touch. For knowledge begets wisdom to the person who possesses the commonsense to understand that if death produces futility for existence, and the concept of eternity exists, surely we must exist for a reason.

As for the laws of a country, we can disregard them if we like. If we did not possess freewill, this would be impossible. Likewise, if we did not possess freewill, we would not be able to disregard the laws of God that were written with His Own Finger.

The Bible teaches that there will be a record of our life revealed on the Day of Judgment. Each one of us will have the opportunity to see how we will go giving the Judge of Eternity the finger on that day, if we are predisposed to do so. Apparently, we will be held accountable not only for what we have done, but also for every word we have uttered.

As for the laws created by humans, they really do not matter in the grander scheme of existence. No mere human being has power over death—only the Creator, who wrote the Ten Commandments with His Own Finger.
