For all your blather about freedom, you haven't even adequately defined it. You spout off about freedom to believe as one wishes and yet you don't allow that for those who you disagree with. Apparently you missed my definition when you asked for it previously
Freedom to be, to do (in an honorable fashion), to believe as one wishes. Is that clear enough?
Obviously, well maybe not obviously to you, freedom should apply to everyone. Freedom for a select few, is not true freedom.

In your own words.....(post 543):Intolerance and discrimination are fine, if you do it for the proper reason.

Freedom for a select few, is not true freedom.Except of course for those minority few that demand all things Christian be squashed from the public.

You really don't know the difference between "freedom to" and "freedom from" do you?
Go read John Donne...

but is captive, and proves weak or untrue"
