It would depend on the nature of the criticism. Some criticisms of particular religions are simply pure bigotry. Some aren't. It all depends on the nature of the particular criticism under consideration. You seem confused on this point. (So, too, are some "liberals," who imagine all religious criticism is bigotry.)

The link above talks about a pastor who has threatened to light himself on fire if gay marriage is accepted. ...
Rick Scarborough, the pastor who says he will kill himself if gay marriage is accepted, would be doing the world a favor if he killed himself. My guess is, he is a lying hypocritical piece of shit who will chicken out. Anyone want to make a bet on this?
