People think it because it often does. Survival of this species has partially depended upon the ability to reocgnize patterns and make decisions with limited information.

That holds true for correct (or not seriously wrong) decisions. In the general case, a Darwin award is a far more probable outcome.

In Greece it's been a crime since forever

On: Ireland Criminalizes Blasphemy

Greek Penal Code Chapter 7:

• Article 198: Cursing God in public and with a malicious intention is punishable by prison and/or fine. So is showing disrespect towards deities.
• Article 199: Cursing or otherwise ridiculing (in public and maliciously) the Eastern Orthodox Church or any other officially recognized church is punishable by prison and/or fine. (officially unrecognized churches have no rights, and certain eastern orthodox priests routinely curse them in public and very maliciously if I am any judge)

Except of course for "X=gun abolition".
