That's ridiculously funny, what has going to church have to do with anything?
It'll be real funny, if the guy actually runs off and is never seen again.

So, let's say, I steal from a store or a bank, but it so happens that I go to church every sunday (after all I am a Universal Life Church minister), do I go free? SWEET!!!! I want that judge on my trial!!!!

He's not going free, he's just getting bail because he has ties to the community.

You know, context and all that.

That really annoys me. Maybe it's because I don't believe in God. (And to anybody here wanting to "save" me... Shut The Fuck Up!.)

No, he's getting bail because he knows the Bible, which by all means is NOT a standard law procedure. The judge is basing this guy's good character on his knowledge of the Bible, and the message is that if the guy was Jew or Muslim or Buddhist, he would have faced the normal legal procedure. Or at least it seems like it

To me it read:

Guy: "You should let me go. I'm a good church going-guy."
Judge: "Uh huh. Prove it."
Guy: "Proves it."

Would the judge have acted differently if he recited from the Torah, a Muslim prayer or a Buddhist Mantra?

I dunno.

That came into my thought also; I think the judge would have acted differently
