You're considering how your statements about sentencing will affect your punishment. What I was talking about was the general idea that people should be punished differently depending on their world view. Once you admit this in principle, it can't fail but to lead to political prisoners. And the decent people like you will be the first to suffer.

Suppose you're an atheist in a country of ateists. Would it be a good thing for you to have your punishment changed taking your convictions into account? I'd say "No", because, as good an atheist as you are, there will be a better one doing the judging. You simply consider the belivers wrong and silly. The judge will consider them harmful, to be eliminated. Why, we heard just such a phrase from our very own mmoffitt. And it was he, not you who will do the judging, because, at first, he is more interested in promoting his extremism than you are in promoting your moderation. And, at a later stage, the judgeship attracts people who you wouldn't give time of day anyway.

So, even when you feel that the stars are perfectly allined in your interest - just don't go there. The only safe stand is the principled one.
