Topic: Teen in Pennsylvania sentenced to two years for deep-throating Jesus (Read 6399 times)

Here is something remotely resembling conservative Bush worship

Minor correction, there was never anything remotely resembling "Bush worship" or "conservative Bush worship".

Ridiculous worship of a political figure in recent years has been solely the property of Hussain Obama, and solely the domain of the Left.  A lot of them are now regretting their ridiculous behavior.

What law was being enforced in this case? I saw the DA's Facebook page, full of conservative Bush worship

Petitions against a DA or a judge will almost never end in the way that the masses wish. The DA is to act when he is made aware of someone breaking the law (and has sufficient evidence to convict as such) and it is the judge's job to enforce the law as written. If you do not agree with a specific law then you would contact the legislature to try to get the law changed.

its like if you own a tv show or network or bank, you're off the hook for saying whatever you want (south park) but if you're one guy having a little fun and you piss off the wrong judge, 'they throw the book at you'.

The DA involved with this case is named Bill Higgins.  If you are interested in getting involved with this case and standing up for your right for free speech then vocalize it on his facebook page.

I would agree with this. I would also add the fact that if the boy were to lose at trial, but an appeals court were to rule in his favor that the law (as applied) is unconstitutional then the christian nutjobs would likely further attempt to appeal the case (to the supreme court)

Even that only exists in some dictionaries, but I see your point now.

Islamic
adjective
relating to Islam.

Islamics
Word not found

"Islamics" is not a word buddy.

Leviticus 26:1 " 'Do not make idols or set up an image or a sacred stone for yourselves, and do not place a carved stone in your land to bow down before it. I am the LORD your God."

That Jesus statue was not even supposed to exist, for all those who claim he aggressed your religion

It's a real stretch, but I can see that charges could be brought under this statute.  It seems though that the issue is more the flagrant promoting of the activity on facebook than the activity itself.

Will go down as the same thing as the "bong hits for jesus" case.

This is exactly why this case would be accepted by the supreme court. I think this kid did actually break the law and should be found guilty for doing so. However I also think the application of the law is unconstitutional. It is very rare for a trial court to not enforce a law on constitutional grounds unless there is president from a higher court (either an appellate court or the supreme court), therefore the trial court would find him guilty but a higher court should reverse the decision.

Well actually in this case
I guess he was asking for this so he deserves some time off that said would have given him community service or something along the lines
Lazy political system saying oh and I'm giving you jail time because well were lazy like that and don't want to think up productive ways for reforming or teaching you the errors of your ways.

I agree with everything but the last part. he was not within his rights. He was trespassing, and desecrating a venerated object.

I think that both have their right to their opinion and both have the right to protest when the other group is not advocating ideas that they agree with. Yes what this kid did was very immature and likely will not ever get anything changed what he disagrees with but he was within his rights to express himself this way

and this is why country's go into debt, Just imagine what they pay to house and feed him for two years when instead he could be cleaning up the community doing service work.

No, I just think you are not seeing this matter clearly. 

A.  Bolded above.  He didn't stick his cock in church property.  That's the very point why this is unfair.
B.  It's not the question of "a small minority", but simply that a certain fraction of people in any group...a church group... an anti-church group...whatever....ARE COMPLETE ASSHOLES AND JERKS.  So to assign this behavior to "a group" is just wrong if it is just a fundamental part of a small minority of human behavior.

So if you want to slam on "religion" be my guest, there are many accurate things to say in the negative.  I see it in a different way, like most people in "a religion" are just in it for the daycare facility, maybe elementary school, maybe the marriage/birth/death ceremonies, and they shrug off the crazy belief systems.  But yes some fair fraction believe them.  Just remember that religions have survived for thousands of years, it's not because they were irrelevant quite the reverse.

Firstly I never singled out Christianity at all. I've never even mentioned the word Christianity in any post. Where did that come from? Spendulus slipped a straw man fallacy under the radar with that one. As he knew full well, it was blanket statement about all anti-homosexual teaching religions.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but nobody has attempted any 180 maneuvers in any way. LOL
What possible other realistic replies can someone defending give that I wasn't already expecting? The only sensible answer is to say "yeah sure it happens, but it's only a small minority". Which is exactly what I expected and exactly what I got.
So please explain how I apparently tripped up and needed to backpedal out of a hole? I await eagerly for your verbose reply r3wt.

Spendulus correctly pointed out the minority, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen and should be ignored. It shouldn't be happening at all!
What I'm trying to explain (perhaps poorly) is that it seems to me that there is one rule for the church (as in every church/religion) and one rule for everyone else that isn't in the system.

What about the annoying churchgoer that, uninvited, knocks on your front door and spews out a flood of religious bile in your face. "You should be doing this" and "You should believe in that" and then threaten you with fear "You need to embrace god or you won't go to heaven. You'll burn in the eternal fire." Funny how society accept this, yet if a door salesman did the same thing, told you to buy a product and threaten you with fear if you didn't, he would be in big trouble.
One rule for church, another rule for everyone else.

Funny how when this guy sticks his cock in church property they are all up in arms, "SEND HIM TO PRISION".
Yet the church has been sticking it's cock in society for years and years, and everyone just turns a blind eye.

So lets all just ignore the big elephant in the room (the church) and focus on the tiny fly (the guy in the photo).

Well, you started with a blanket statement about christianity, then got called on it, and attempted to cover your tracks by performing a complete 180
