Fine was criticizing a comment by Palestine born Nerdeen Kiswani who didn't say to ban dogs. I've known people from the "Global South" where dogs are often regarded as dirty diseased animals who belong in the streets, not homes, and shudder at dogs licking people.

Just as the state has a monopoly on violence (it can imprison and execute people while citizens can't) the state also has a monopoly on sin and defying God in order to keep that power out of the actions of citizens where it should be punishable.
