How much respect you give something is a matter of personal choice.

True.

My thinking may or may not be religious but yours is clearly errant.

You think simulating sex with a statue out in public is equivalent to digging up or otherwise stealing a corpse to do the same thing is an equivalent comparison, and you think OUR thinking is in error? Yours is not only in error, it is sick. Sure, we don't want the bodies of our loved ones, or anyone else for that matter, desecrated. That's WHY we secure them from easy access by stupid 14-year-olds!

The question is not about how much respect you give inanimate objects.

Because if THAT was the question, you wouldn't have a leg to stand on, eh?

The question at hand is this: Does the constitution give one person the freedom to desecrate something belonging to another person.

'Desecrate' is defined as 'to treat a sacred place or thing with violent disrespect. Simulated sex is not violent disrespect, there was no damage to the statue, no one was hurt, it didn't even have to be cleaned off.

I think you realize it does not but just don't want to admit you are wrong.

I think you realize you're comparing apples and oranges (category error) but just don't want to admit you are wrong.

So you take this silly position that its not okay to desecrate a human body....but it is okay to desecrate a religious symbol that belongs to someone else.....cause thats not important to you.

You mean you project on to us that silly position, because you can't get us to object to a statue of Hitchens being fake-fellated, so you went to corpses instead; despite the obvious differences that you won't find a corpse propped up in a church's front yard, that there are serious health code violations involved with doing so, and the people who effectively own corpses go out of their way to prevent them being tampered with.

But I can easily imagine an exception to all of those objections, in an alternate reality where someone would actually want to do this in the USA and local authorities would allow it: a public outdoor display of the sort of rubberized body found in Bodies: The Exhibition; the sort of disrespect shown by this kid would be inappropriate to prosecute. The former and current owners of the body would be aware of this risk and chose to display anyway. I imagine some inappropriate photos have been taken with this exhibition already and no one chose to prosecute.
