So what comes next?
Excommunication? Shunning? Discharge from employment? Crosses burnt into your lawn? Death threats?

Yes to the first two. The third would be up to the employer as far as I'm concerned. The last was popular with Protestant democrats, which I am neither.

The first two would result in a serious decline in public civility, already at an abysmal low. The last would result in a kind of religious war in which people were discharged for their religious beliefs or lack of. I wonder how much further you, and those who think like you, would be willing to go?

Blasphemy in the United Kingdom

As far as I'm concerned you're not much different than the Muslim savages...but you're urges are restrained by our secular cultures where they are free to inflict their barbarities.

from Scalia v. the Pope: Who's Right on the Death Penalty?...

"In the Old Testament, the Mosaic Law specifies no less than 36 capital offenses calling for execution by stoning, burning, decapitation or strangulation. Included in the list are idolatry, magic, blasphemy, violation of the Sabbath, murder, adultery, bestiality, pederasty and incest.

Do you want to go back to this?
