Jesus is illegal in Scotland - 1 July 2010 |
|
It’s official: The Scottish Parliament have criminalised Jesus.
Members of the Scottish Parliament yesterday passed a new law which (among other things) makes it illegal to speak in a threatening manner about matters likely to cause a “reasonable person” to suffer fear or alarm (HT: Christian Institute).
It’s hard to find a page of the Gospels where Jesus isn’t alarming someone, and the “reasonable” Pharisees certainly found him “threatening.”
But it’s still possible to laugh at the sheer incoherence of this amateurish piece of tyranny. For since countless Christians will suffer “fear and alarm” at this “threatening” legislation, its immediate impact will be to declare Scottish law a violation of itself.
