Sacrilege
Sacrilege is the violation or injurious treatment of a sacred object or person. It can come in the form of irreverence to sacred persons, places, and things. When the sacrilegious offence is verbal, it is called blasphemy, and when physical, it is often called desecration. In a less proper sense, any transgression against what is seen as the virtue of religion would be a sacrilege. "Sacrilege" originates from the Latin sacer, sacred, and legere, to steal, as in Roman times it referred to the plundering of temples and graves. By the time of Cicero, sacrilege had adopted a more expansive meaning, including verbal offences against religion and undignified treatment of sacred objects.
Most ancient religions have a concept analogous to sacrilege, often considered as a type of taboo. The basic idea is that sacred objects are not to be treated in the same way as other objects.
Christianity
With the advent of Christianity as the official Roman religion, the Emperor Theodosius criminalised sacrilege in an even more expansive sense, including heresy and schism, and offences against the emperor, including tax evasion.

Sacrilege
by: AFII'm never gonna understand this.
I'm never gonna let it be.
I just can't understand this aged plan. It's obsolete.
How could you recognize and cherish hysteric fairy tales.
They've come to life. Now sit by and listen...
the whole world wails.
I feel as though I've been abducted,
or maybe I am just misplaced,
As I watch these rash hysterics lay to waste the human race.
Just ask them if the sky will open and save us from the truth.
They say that they'd leave today
just without, without you.
Is this one big joke?
I can only hope.
Say your prayers, they're the final punchline.
I don't see the love
below or above.
I see you're scared well
I feel fine.
Oh please believe I'm doing just fine.
For what's deceased I shall never grieve.
Just let your faith die.
I feel I have been abandoned.
I alone seem to see disgrace
as I watch these mad dogmatics govern our entire race.
Don't tell them you can walk on water or they may drink your blood.
Why live for pain, in the name
the name of, name of love?
I can only hope
this is in one big joke
with your prayers as the final punch line.
How is it divine
when it's flawed design?
Fill the cracks with faith I can't find.
Screaming for pure love
you venerate
delusion based in hate
Bleeding from pure love
for this I pray:
