Hi Bex,

Just curious:

What do you mean when you say "imposing".

What do you think I mean when I say "imposing"

I am beginning to think that was a bad choice of words on my part.

Frankly, I agree with much of what you said. I think that you should be able to protest what you think is morally wrong. However, I also think that your opponents in this moral battle should be able to respond to you. That's what freedom of speech and freedom of assembly are about.

My problem is with any group (majority or minority) that tries to limit the rights of any other group, whether that is through legislation or threats. For example: if those gays were threatening physical or psychological harm to Christian children then the parents or church should try and have them prosecuted for assault.

I am not trying to blacken the name of all Christians by pointing out the faults of a few. I have tried to be clear on this but apparently I am not clear enough.

I know you are upset by the bad treatment of Christians in other countries or by particular groups in your country. However, when have you ever allowed your children to use the excuse "..but everyone else does it..." to justify bad behavior?

I am appalled by the pornographic junk that is peddled on the streets of my town, and I have actually protested in front of an adult book store. However, I would never vote to have the pornography made illegal, because I don't want someone else to vote to have the Bible be illegal. When has standing up against sin required legislating against moral behavior that is not infringing on another person's rights?
