The date is irrelevant. The fact is that at least for 65 years now the religion has not wavered in their stance that those who leave their hallowed halls are worthy of execution. And since the laws of the land do not currently allow them personally the right to carry out the extermination, that does not negate the death sentence.
Ironic though...they oscillate in just about all of their beliefs..but murdering those who disagree with them never seems to be subject to new light.
