That's like 8 years old mentality. And for a self-proclaimed Satanist it's especially sad. How and why did it become illegal? The origin is the whole concept of legality is inherently moral. |
Okay, now that I have an intelligent audience, I'll be a little more reasonable.
Crime is crime because it is a hindrance to society. The rules are put in place 1) because of the morals of the lawmakers but more importantly 2) so people will get along.
Is that better?
EDIT: The source of the laws isn't what's important anyway. My original point: she deserves punishment because she knew the laws existed and she broke them anyway. If you don't like the rules you're better off getting them changed or moving someplace with different rules.
