A hugely controversial Polish pop star is faced with the possibility of a hefty fine or even a jail sentence after she publicly commented that the Bible was authored by drunks and smokers of “herbal cigarettes”.
Dorota Rabczewska, is renowned for unashamedly flashing flesh, and also a string of popular hits, has now been charged by prosecutors in Warsaw for extremely insensitive comments she made in an interview of over a year ago.
Going by the stage name of Doda, the 26-year-old ruffled religious feathers in Catholic Poland by saying that she held more belief in dinosaurs than the Bible because "it is hard to believe in something written by people who drank too much wine and smoked herbal cigarettes." This prompted furious Catholic groups to lodge numerous complaints against her.
"It is clear that Doda thinks that the Bible was written by drunkards and junkies," said Ryszard Nowak, chairman of the Committee for the Defence Against Sects, an organisation dedicated to protecting Christian values. "I believe that she committed a crime and offended the religious feelings of both Christians and Jews."
If found guilty the pop star faces a two-year jail sentence or a hefty fine under Polish blasphemy laws, says the Telegraph.
