This story just baffles me.
I wasn't raised to believe there's one right way to think--about anything. I also wasn't raised to believe it's my job to punish people on any god's behalf. I also wasn't raised to believe that someone from another faith has to play by my rules.
This whole thing just feels...wrong.
It also highlights my whole problem with basing a legal code on religious teachings. Any religious teachings. I don't care if you're Baptist, Buddhist, Mormon, or Muslim--you keep your faith in your temples and out of my courts.
I don't care about your religion, in the most positive way possible. You do what feeds your spirit, and I won't get in your way. All I want is the same courtesy--which means I draw the line at legislating faith into my secular code of laws.
It's 2012, ladies and gentlemen. It's time we got over the idea of a scary creature in the sky ready to punish us for misbehaving.
