Michael Cassidy, a former congressional and legislative candidate from Mississippi, was charged the next day with fourth-degree criminal mischief, a misdemeanor. He told the conservative website The Sentinel that “my conscience is held captive to the word of God, not to bureaucratic decree. And so I acted.”
I feel like admitting your behavior is based entirely on your religion not written law should disqualify one from public positions where creating and following so-called “bureaucratic decrees” is kinda the whole point.
I still don’t understand how people can say that shit with a straight face as though taking marching orders from Santa Claus. Humanity has a long way to go.
Honestly, I’d prefer a candidate who got orders from Santa Claus than from Jesus or God
Santa Claus has never, you know, killed people.
Just give him a few hundred years: https://youtu.be/yJGUhVrS-Gs?si=pa5c4CgY0QS_eRM7
Yet another Bible thumper who has never read the Bible. Today’s passage is "render unto Caesar "

Imagine being such a snowflake you can’t handle seeing a paper mache Satan and you goto prison for it
He’ll get a slap on the wrist.
Not for a hate crime he won’t
Nope. The additional thoughtcrime charge raises the crime to a felony.
“But quindraco, the first amendment guarantees freedom of thought and this should be a felony on its own merits regardless of the perp’s personal opinions!”
You’re not wrong, but Iowa doesn’t seem to care.
Somebody’s in the finding out phase.
My favorite part is this guy in his head really believes he did the right thing.
Every time an idiot defaces Satanic property and gets arrested, a devil gets her horns! 😈
Your mistake is assuming devils would ever want to be less horny.

Hell yeah.
It’s because they hide behind “freedom of religion” when what they mean is they want a Christian theocracy.
