I'm not suggesting it's a stupid idea if it's a considered, principled position being staked out. Everyone has a perfect right to sacrifice their very existence on principle if they so desire. I am just suggesting that the outcome is a foregone conclusion. In Iraq, people have been imprisoned and tortured and murdered over dancing or being happy, much less denying god. So in my view, the only way it's stupid is if you take a stand and think you will be unscathed because you're right or fed up or something. Nope, you're gonna suffer and quite possibly die (or worse).
