"“I am going to suspend this sentence for the period of two years based on the fact you are a religious person and have not been in trouble before. You caused a mild fracture to the jaw of a member of the public standing in a queue at Lloyds Bank. You are a religious man and you know this is not acceptable behaviour.[/i]”
"She said that he would have got a six-month sentence but was suspending it because he was a religious man and would know he was doing wrong, which we feel implies that a non-religious person wouldn't know it was wrong."
Err, If he understood it was wrong, why did he do it? I am so sick and tired of religious people who assume anyone without a god or gods has no decency or morals or standards – just because they need a god to put limits on thier own bad behaviour does not mean we are all that weak and shallow.
