Religious people will no longer be held responsible for their actions, according to a new American law.
I did it for my God.
My God made me do it.
It is part of my religious freedom to do it.
You are violating my freedom of religion if you stop me from doing that.
What is “that”? Whatever the religion says it is.
Murder? Have religious people ever killed people from another religion? There’s your answer. Are such people insane, mentally unfit to possess a firearm, to vote, to hold public office, to join the GOP?
You want to violate their religious right to conceal carry and bear arms? Can weapons become part of a religion? Sikh and ye shall find. What about drugs? Rastarfari say da herb is Ja! How about dancing? If the Lambada is not part of religion – it should be! The forbidden dance of love and ecstasy! Sign me up!
So everything can be made into a religious thing. Everything. You sound surprised? Have you never read your Bible? The thing one swears on in a Judeo-Christian country – if the judge hasn’t read it, no one would be swearing.
I could go deeper into dirty things written in the Koran, the Torah, and pretty much any holy book older than yesterday.
Folks back then, well, they lived in simpler times … when men could do any god damn thing they wanted and if anyone complained … the rack, the screws, the Iron Maiden, the burning stake, the guillotine, the … ways and means to make people obey an invisible god and not be called fuckin’ loony!
Merry Saturnalia!
