Twelve people were killed today at the Paris office of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo for mocking Islam and the Prophet Mohammed and thereby offending their murderers. Let us therefore begin by considering blasphemy and other offenses. Someone who kills another human being for blasphemy grievously offends his own God. God will respond to insults in His own good time and in His own ways, which may sometimes surprise us when we know them. But people of faith can be reasonably sure that He will be harsher toward those who murder in His Name than toward those who insult Him.
