This is all about religion, and they’re going to get away with it. We’d be better off if our legal codes were based on the seven tenets instead.

Not even two, maybe one and a half as it depends a lot on who you are and whom you’re stealing from. And you can even argue on murder too

*: Unless you meant freedom of religion. You better not! We’ll sue/burn/shoot/jesus you if you do! Ultraconservative Christianity or death!
*unless you also meant freedom of expression or freedom of bodily autonomy
we make exceptions for even the murdering and stealing.
