That's horrible, the murder. Why did those being harassed have to be escorted here and there, like they were criminals, rather than the others being dispersed or arrested?
There are certain privileges which come with belonging to the majority religion. If it had been atheists or pagans harassing Christians in a similar fashion, I suspect that the response of the authorities might have been rather different.
This happened in my state. I couldn't believe how the family and the people that went there to support them were treated. The religious people turned their crosses around to hang on their backs...that's just weird! My son blogged about this on Ungodly Cynic.
Mendip got it right the first time. If only the Romans had looked up from their debauches, and considered the monster the were rearing(thanks, Constantine, you jerk).
Individualist, pro-technology, pro-democracy, anti-religion. I speak only for myself and not for any ideology, movement, or party. It has been my great good fortune to live my whole life free of "spirituality" of any kind. I believe that evidence and reason are the keys to understanding reality; that technology rather than ideology or politics has been the great liberator of humanity; and that in the long run, human intelligence is the most powerful force in the universe.
