What appears to be advocated here is a political system whereby you would be convicted for rejecting some theocrat's notion of ultimate truth

Pretty scary, if you ask me.

At first I though it was a typo. But since there was no correction you may be right.

All I asked was how bluepistolero knew the Bible was the word of God. Maybe just asking the question is grounds for conviction. That is scary.

Maybe just asking the question is grounds for conviction.

con·vict Audio pronunciation of convicted ( P )

Pronunciation Key (kn-vkt) v. con·vict·ed, con·vict·ing, con·victs v. tr.

1. Law. To find or prove (someone) guilty of an offense or crime, especially by the verdict of a court: The jury convicted the defendant of manslaughter.
2. To show or declare to be blameworthy; condemn: His remarks convicted him of a lack of sensitivity.
3. To make aware of one's sinfulness or guilt.

I don't agree with bluepistolero's position, but it looks like he was speaking of definition #3 when he said "convicted", not #1.
