My answer: NO.
If they don't extend to us the same right to mock or criticize the LGBTQ or BLM then I don't see why I should concede to them the right to mock or insult Jesus.
I'm asking this because I found a "Christian" on YouTube claiming that people should have the "right" to mock Jesus and Muhammad. The funny part was that he lives in a country where "free speech laws" don't apply to criticism of the LGBTQ. It appeared to me that he was siding with blasphemers and mockers.
That statement made me kinda respect Muslims because unlike Christians, they take their religion seriously enough to feel offended when someone insults their prophet. Meanwhile, many Christians have no problem when people insult Christ but side with mockers instead.
Thoughts?
Forcing Christians to support hate speech against themselves is not free speech. The anti-christians are not having their speech suppressed either, they get parades and are handed custody of children to abuse through the foster care system and teacher's unions.
The media which is also the fbi/government, is constantly persecuting the Catholic church. Point of fact being the illegal federal investigation, and classifying Catholics as domestic terrorists in their military briefings.
That's exactly what's happening.
They get to mock Christians and conservatives in the name of free speech. And we're supposed to support it (which many do). But when we use free speech, it is labelled "hate speech" and we're banned or fired from our jobs.
Free speech exists, but only for certain things.
Right now congress is trying to pass amendments to civil rights laws that allow for religious discrimination.
I don’t have to listen to it, they can say and do what they please as long as they are not inciting violence or threatening. Unfortunately more liberal people think that free speech means they must be heard. That’s why they feel the need to force others to accept what they preach...”men are women or women are men, two man can be as good as a man and woman for children, do what you feel because there are no consequences”. When we won’t listen and expose our littles they go after them through the schools, and media.we shouldn’t be able to teach our children our values. I just want to live my life and raise my kids but the “progressive left” can’t be content unless we all validate their lies and perversions. They also don’t want us to be able to “preach” our beliefs because to them it is hate. Anything that doesn’t align with their core is bigoted, racists, homo/transphobic etc. There in lies the crux, “hate speech” can’t be a thing, all speech must be free speech, otherwise it is the person with the most power or the biggest stick that gets to decide what is hate and what isn’t.
Wow..you are pretty stupid. What parts of the words "Free Speech" do you not understand?
Free or not.
Compelled is not free. No matter your devotion to faith, this must be understood.
It's just like any other sin, between that person and Jesus to deal with.
I'm pretty sure Jesus intends for people to make that choice, or otherwise reject God's calling, if they so choose damnation.
I mean I don't think the federal govt should punish people for criticizing Christ, but the feds shouldn't interfere with State or local governments' that want to legislate that.
What do you mean we don't have the same right to mock and critiize LGBTQ or BLM? Anybody can say whatever they want and any private company has the right to ban or fire you for what you say. A Christian business can fire you for promoting blasphemous speech just as another business can fir you for posting anti LGBTQ stuff.
You have all the rigth to say something that offend my religion, I hace all the rigth to be offended by it.
Also, Mohammed was a pedophile and a cock sucker, if you're offended by my statement you can go fuck a goat.
If they're offended, they probably just finished fucking a goat.
You believe in the 1st amendment or you are a piece of garbage.
They've just sold us the idea that we have the "right to free speech" but it only gets used against our beliefs but we don't get to use it against LGBTQ or BLM (at least not on mainstream platforms).
Yeah and if the media doesn't attack other religions then its a sign that they don't actually believe in free speech.
It already happens. I dont like it. But jesus says pay them no mimd
Free speech, like free will, makes great good or great evil possible. It’s like gambling - the more you wager, the more you stand to lose if you lose, but the more you also stand to gain if you win.
God never told us to silence the enemy or the avenger. That’s His job - as long as we, like little children, do not cease to praise Him (Psalm 8:2-3, Matthew 21:16, Luke 19:40).
HOSANNA!!! Blessed is the Son of David who comes in the Name of the LORD! He will ride a new donkey to Triumph! 🐴🌿👑
