Blasphemy

At the orientation week at Univ of Sydney several years ago, the compere was using the name of Jesus Christ in the context of "for Chrissake", and F%$#&N Christ" and simply "Jesus Christ!"which apparently was meant to be funny. I went up to him and told him to blaspheme Allah or the Rainbow Serpent and he said something to the effect "%$^& off you f&%$#'n wanker. What are you on about".

And we are meant to have to put up with this? This is what my country has become? Christianity has become the butt of blasphemy while we condemn Moslems? Are we perverted or what?
