Leviticus 20:27 says it's OK to stone mediums to death - should this be lawful too, or would it also be persecution?
You can take freedom of religion too far - the books of the bible were written rather a long time ago. Judaism has been able to modernise regarding such things as being stoned to death for merely breaking Sabbath, so maybe it needs to modernise a bit more regarding mutilating children?
