Your right I hadn't thought about it that way. Is this a hymn then?

A hymn about the christians relationship to its god, and reality.

These blasphemy laws were put in place way back when under British rule- we are talking 1860 at least.

Lets blame the Brits!

The hardliners are clueless- just use this as a tool as its evolved.

Hey, don't start blaming us; we got rid of our blasphemy laws when we realised we had no further use for them; if only our former colonies could be as enlightened.

Re the OP: even if a 'crime' has been committed under local laws, isn't it patently obvious that the perpetrator shouldn't be held responsible for her actions? Is the concept of mitigating circumstances so very alien?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Well yeah,makes a novel change from blaming the yanks. Tiger

One guy said this is "an innocent 10-11yo girl".Then a neighbour said this not a good girl because she "dresses provocatively". I think the latter statement perhaps gives a fairly good idea of the intellectual and moral calbre of her accusers.
