Dimensio, what you say is true. But the danger of misdirected punishment is extreme, in my opinion. The examples in this article are right on target. A man hurts someone and calls him a 'homo'. He will be hit with hate crime law, even though the that may well have had NOTHING AT ALL to do with the crime. This marks an insidious descent into a world with thought police. And beside, it's truly absurd in the minds of most to have smaller punishment for heinous acts, as long as juries think they can discern that the criminal in the case was thinking OK thoughts.

In the event this ever did happen, I think the congregation that did not get to its feet and lock the doors to prevent this sort of "kidnapping" of its theological leader should be taken to task.
Four PC Guestappo agents vs. 500 Believers in God's word? I wouldn't want to be in the four agent's shoes!
