Can I Have Another Softball?

What don't you get about freedom of religion? All religions are supposed to be tolerated. A religion that seeks dominance and to enforce it's belief system on all violates that principle not those who preach strange beliefs. I see no problem however in condeming both those that preach intolerance and those that preach hatred. I will agree that the many of those fighting Christian intolerance seem less focused on minority intolerance, but the intolerance of the majority would seem to be a bigger threat to constitutional principles than the intolerance of a minority.

Personally I think freedom of speech should not protect incitement to criminal violence, but then again the British didn't care much for it either in the late 1700s.

Mark
