Do you believe in free speech or do you believe in suppression of speech?
Everything you said about free speech sounded reasonable until you tagged this low effort turd of a line to the end.
Free speech is vital to an open society, but it does have important and valid limitations, mainly because free speech is a means to an end, namely, a free and open society. Speech that endangers society has to have limitations, or it will weaken or destroy the society that enabled it in the first place. Even speech that you agree with.
Please don't take this the wrong way but what new thoughts would you like to hear? Should Christianity be loved? Christianity is psychological trap that was created to extract wealth and resources from as large a mass of people as possible and it takes advantage of people in quite a cruel and degrading way. Also, has Christianity really done anybody any real good that couldn't have been done better without it?
Moveing right along, are you suggesting that we should change our positions on your second point, how else should a person feel about a theocracy, George Bush, or anti-abortion activists?
And your last point, have creationists ever gotten anything right? If not then what else is there to say about them?
I think its natural when people are confronted with outright manipulative lies to do all the things you are complaining about, but its like when your older siblings break the news to you about Santa clause, you may not have been thrilled to hear it but you really needed to know the truth, its a natural gut reaction to expose liars, and you can thank the non-existent god that we have it.
