Secret-

In Jackson City, in the secretive and mysterious People's Ministry of Justice, a man was being tried. The bailiff said, "raise your right hand, place your left hand on the bible, and repeat after me."

The man shook his head and refused, "No, I won't swear anything on that book... My hand shall never touch a bible."

The judge sighed, "Agree or I shall hold you in contempt."

The man shook his head, "I don't recognize the authority of this court, you have no authority over me, only the laws of science and reason, and they are what governs my actions. The laws of nature dictate that if people were constantly killing each other, we'd be in chaos and anarchy, I don't need church morality to do the right thing."

The man continued for about twenty-six more minutes, finally the judge sighed, "shut your damn mouth or I'll hold you in contempt."

The man started to say, "Again, I don't recognize the authority..."

The man's speech was abruptly cut off when the judge signaled the bailiff with a hand motion and the bailiff fired two 45 caliber rounds into the man's chest, the man collapsed, but managed to shout, "There is no god except science!" before being shot in the head.


Public:

Mississippian newspapers and the White Peoples Radio and Television Network have discussed the reasons surrounding the man's death. Official government position is "Failure to comply with reasonable demands from a legal federal court."

"A man, aged twenty-six, refused to comply with reasonable requests from a court of law and instead insisted on wasting government time by attempting to preach a deviant viewpoint. Federal trials cost the government approximately two hundred thousand dollars per hour, and this man rambled on for thirty minutes, more than more trials are even allowed to go. Thus he was held in contempt and summarily shot."

We strongly support the execution of this blasphemous bigot. The world must be made safe for theocracy.

The man that was executed was right in refusing to swear on a Bible. Bibles are vile things.

There should be equal room in society for Christianity and Science to work alongside one another.

Swearing an oath of truth based on what we consider to be a work of fiction is endlessly amusing to us.

Ooc- Ah, well anyway, you don't really know why we killed him. We just stated "failure to comply" and "deviant viewpoint" that could be open to interpretation. So you don't know for sure it was over atheism. Anyway, if you're tired of my nation style, you must be tired of your own eh? How about we switch for one day? I'll RP a drugged up hippie land, justify it by saying a chemical leaked from a pharmaceuticals plant and made everybody high for the day, and then you have to RP an uptight and restrained klan-ish style society, say everybody was on steroids for a day or something and was over aggressive, I don't know, eh?
