The diffi- culty of learning to mind our own business in the matter of interference with other people's thoughts is so great, even where we find actual tolerance of differences of religious or scientific opinion, that we are only too apt to discover that this is the result of apathy rather than of intelligence.
But as the conception of law has become more and more clearly defined, and the line between church and state more distinct, there has been an increasiag reluctance on the part of the gov...ernment to lend its aid in suppressing opinions which, how- ever dangerous they may be to the souls of those who hold them, do not constitute an immediate men- ace to public security and social order. And slowly but surely this increasing conservatism in the use of legal penalties leads to a corresponding conserva- tism in the administration of theologieaJ penal- ties. "Where the law will hang a man for every affront to civil authority, real or supposed, the theologians have no difficulty in persuading people that the gods will punish all transgressors in an 94 FREEDOM AND RESPONSIBILnT equally bloodthirsty spirit.
