I found this clip of Chris Pontius on the Religious Freaks website and it is so damn funny. That is, until the freakshow attack. Watch for yourself:

After watching this, ask yourself if Pontius has every right to voice his own opinion or should he be put to death. Obviously the attacker takes the bible very seriously. Here are a couple of moral snippets from the ‘Good’ book which may have led to this attack:
“And The Lord said to Moses … He who blasphemes the Name of The Lord shall be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him; the sojourner as well as the native, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death.” (Leviticus 24:13,16 RSV)
“If your brother, the son of your mother, or your son, or your daughter, or the wife of your bosom, or your friend who is as your own soul, entices you secretly, saying, ‘Let us go and serve other gods … You shall stone him to death with stones, because he sought to draw you away from The Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.” (Deuteronomy 13:6,10 RSV)
Just another example of how religion is the cause of much of this worlds violence.
