When people are shot on the streets just because (or perhaps to inspire terror and lessen opposition to fascist administration) it is time to do something about this I would say.
The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.

Yes, it does seem like the administration of the Great Pumpkin is forcing the issue.
I've said it several times before: We are living in interesting times.

^ Medical instruments only, here, and under protest. That's supposed to be a one-way deal.

From WW1??
Still with an explosive charge???

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
