Deborah’s murder was emblematic of everything wrong in our system at all levels. Her’s was the latest in the long list of those killed by inveterate and sadistic religious extremists who deserve agonising capital punishment.

The insensate ferocity of mayhem and the frighteningly-low threshold to kill and maim in the name of God are gallingly sickening. Unfortunately, the perpetrators of these crimes – often mired in moral turpitude – have been brainwashed to believe that they can always fight and avenge on God’s behalf and earn eternal glory.

The Bible also frowns at blasphemy. In Leviticus 24: 16: “anyone who blasphemes the name of the Lord is to be put to death”. The entire assembly must stone them. Whether foreigner or native-born, when they blaspheme the name, they are to be put to death. There have been a series of blasphemies against the Church, the Bible and Christians through the ages but at no time has any Christian invoked that particular passage to resort to violence or the killing of alleged masterminds.
