Where Do You Stand?

[Mermaid]

Everybody is entitled to believe what they like wether any of us agree with it or not but standing on a street corner with placards and a megaphone preachin religious rubbish shouldnt be allowed, i have no sympathy for the guy who got headbutted or for the muslim guy who was mouthing off also with his islam shite , they all should've been arrested  end of.
And once again the police stood by and let the situation escalate.....

This sort of draconian law would backfire and would violate our basic and very hard won right to free speech. What do you think you'd get if you preached Christianity or atheism or feminism or your belief in spaceships or whatever in a country like Iran? Who would be the decider of what is right and what you'd get arrested for?

This is what Orwell wrote about.

Nothing like we do with our lack of belief actually! To be exactly like them we'd need to threaten them with eternal torture if they didn't quit believing! It wouldn't get that heated if they were arguing burgerKing vs McDonald's. I find it laughable that neither have any proof, yet insist they have it right! Hilarious, until someone loses a head!

I was being facetious.

I agree with you both about freedom of speech but when it comes to religion preaching on street corners or on tv or anywhere else except in churches, chapels,or mosques etc where it belongs i say no, lock them all up an throw away the fkn keys..........  too harsh u think ?   well i dont an i make no apologies for it.

Jail someone for talking about religion on tv? You sound as bad as some of the worst Muslims. You do know you can just change the channel, right?

Change the channel ..  orite, so thats what the remote control thingy is for, mmm  thx so much for telling me.

And i didnt say talking, i said preaching, u see the difference ?

[FaithIsFilth]

No, I don't see the difference. I see a bigot who wants to have people arrested because they have different beliefs than him.

It's not just a different belief, it is a dangerous belief that history has shown to be true, just like the history of the KKK. It is prejudice, but one that they deserve for being in our face and interfering with our government and our lives, and their organizations don't pay taxes. I don't see anything wrong with prejudice if it is justified, but I do with bigotry. I don't think he is a bigot and doesn't just like them because they are different.  Solitary

Dont call me a bigot u fkn arsehole, did u even read my reply, u accuse me of wanting ppl arrested for talking about religion when that wasnt what i said, ill repeat it for you cos your obviously a moron, i said PREACHING NOT TALKING, they are not the same, stupid arse....

Swimming can lead to drowning, but we don't jail people who make shows that show people swimming. Soda makes obesity an even bigger problem, but we don't jail those who make soda commercials. If Green Bottle wants to have someone put away for life for speaking about their beliefs, that's bigotry and no better than the extreme minority of crazy Christians that want us locked up for being atheists or insulting their god.

Free speech is free speech. Even when it's the KKK, whether we agree with what they have to say or not.

Who is forcing you to listen to their preaching?

your obviously a moron

My obviously is a moron? Is that what you meant to type? Or did you mean "you're"?

''Who is forcing you to listen to their preaching?

Who is forcing you to keep replying with bullshit?

''My obviously is a moron? Is that what you meant to type? Or did you mean "you're"?

Let me answer the question with a question, why dont you fuck off ?

Is it free speech in a crowded theater and someone yells fire, or causes a riot with their preaching?  I agree that everyone should have free speech whether we like it or not, but there are times when people's safety is at risk, or their peace is disturbed that it is illegal. I know people that have been arrested for disturbing the peace by arguing too loud or playing music too loud. There are limits on free speech. Why do they need a megaphone to preach? That really is annoying, weather it is preaching or just talking, like people on their cell phones that they think they have to yell on them. Everyone just relax, we all have our own opinions, and that's all they are.  Solitary

lol he asks me to show him where he said it, then he goes on to quote where he said it. Kind of hard for it not to be life when you throw away the keys, unless you tunnel out of there and escape.

Oh, you were just joking when you said throw away the keys? Well... I think all gays should be hanged.


Sorry, I was just joking. How could you not see that?

You meet the definition of a bigot if you want someone preaching to be jailed for even one day. How would you like to be imprisoned for speaking about atheism and why you think it's the superior position to take? I'm sorry, but I don't think anyone here other than you wants to be living in your atheist version of the Islamic State. I'd like to keep my hands, head, and freedom.
