It takes a lot more for me to be offended. And usually it would involve a grave injustice. So no, it doesn’t answer my question.

But if you want to know what I think, I think you’re mistaking a la carte Christians for atheists.

“Dr Farrugia announced that world-famous architect Renzo Piano will be in Malta for one day in the beginning of August to launch an exhibition related to the works on the Parliament building. Foreign media will cover the event. The exhibition will remain open for three months.”

“But they are grievously offended if anybody speaks against their irreligion, atheism, etc; or even if someone like the bishop or a priest express his opinion on any subject.”

Show me one instance where this was the case.

The European Convention on Human Rights stipulates that freedom of expression and freedom of worship are fundamental and inalienable human rights.

Personal insults to an individual are a separate and entirely different matter.
