Free speech

[Jenny A]

Just out of curiosity, does anyone here not believe that their should be freedom of speech and religious expression in our country?

No I wouldn't outlaw religion and yes there should be free speech. However freedom of speech includes the right not only to practice and promote religion but also to ridicule and debunk it.

Should the humiliation of Christians possibly be considered a hate-crime? Where do you draw the line and does no line take us down a slippery slope?

What do you mean my humiliation? If you mean blasphemy, including creating artwork like this:



Or news coverage of the sexual foibles/crimes of the clergy; or pointing out the historical or scientific errors of the Bible; then there is and should be a Constitutional right to humiliate Christians. We call it freedom of speech. The right to religious expression ends where the rights of others begins.

I draw the line at physical violence and other things that would be a crime if they were committed against anyone, Christian or not.
