That's just silly.
Jesus can't bake. In fact, he sucks at it.
Well, He does always forget the baking soda.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So someone who tracks someone for a week or two and plans a way to kill them is the same as someone who, in the course of an argument, picks up a butcher knife?
Yes.

Further, how was the church harmed by this?
Well, they do pay for the things.
True, but it's less than a penny per wafer.

The church gave the wafer to the kid, he didn't sneak into the vestry and take it.
And the wafer was going to leave the church either way. It was just a question of whether it was inside of the kid or outside.

oh, I know. It's just that it's hard to demonstrate that the church was harmed when the item that was allegedly taken was worth less than a penny.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
From what I gather, there was no law broken. He was just plain tacky.
Yes, I'm fully aware I'm being simplistic and silly.

Well, they paid less than a penny. But then they added value by turning it into Jesus.

Sometimes it's a misdemeanor, and sometimes it's a felony. I can't find an example of a crime that allows the "hate crime" enhancement that's not a felony.
I just meant in the sense that someone's reason for a particular theft (or another crime) does not inherently make it a worse crime in my mind.
