Having any belief is legal. Acting on many beliefs is not.

It's not a difficult concept... except to the dogmatic half-wit pretending to make a point, maybe.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Fri Jan 16, 2015, 04:55 PM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: LanternWaste should have stopped at "It's not a difficult concept."
Calling another DUer a "dogmatic half-wit" is, IMO, over-the-top.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Not name calling.

Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: The point can be made without name calling. No need to contribute to the nastiness on DU.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I don't know who's calling who a half-wit here, but there seems to be several misunderstandings. Please keep that trigger finger off the alert button.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: sounds like a good description of your nonsense OP. The truth sometimes hurts...
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Neither is posting asinine OPs.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Any person using a pedophile as justification for anything deserves to be called a half wit. Which is pretty mild name calling. Vote to leave

If I truly BELIEVE God is telling me to do something, I better do it. I guess I shouldn't mock right wing Christians who attack my sexuality either? Wouldn't want to hurt a bigots feelings.

and you act on it, if it's against the law, then you will pay the consequences for your actions.
Believing in something and acting on that belief are 2 different things.
