Norway: All Muslims agree Stoning is OK - Moderate Muslim Peace Conference

I would not feel so alone
Everyone must get stoned

Answering a question about people interpreting this song to be about getting high, Dylan told Rolling Stone in 2012: "These are people that aren't familiar with the Book of Acts.

The Book of Acts is from the Gospel of Luke, and contains an account of a stoning: "Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God... And when they had driven him out of the city, they began stoning him, and the witnesses laid aside their robes at the feet of a young man named Saul."

In this story, Stephen received his sentence after giving a speech to authorities who were going to kill him no matter what he said. This relates to how Dylan felt about his critics, who were going to figuratively "stone" him no matter what he did.

It is when you're trying to use intimidation and fear to control a group of people.

 

Were I a member of the Norwegian government, I would call for, and work towards, the expulsion of those that belong to this organization who are not citizens. The citizens can say and believe whatever they like, as long as they don't hurt anyone. It's a democracy, thank goodness.

 

Stoning is so Old Testament.

New Testament gave us the right to bear arms.

 

Jesus was fine with stoning people, so long as the stone throwers were themselves without sin. Which is to say, Jesus was against stoning people.

 

Wow! #perspective
