When some one who is Christian, or is just trying to live a righteous life, not necessarily a proclaimed Christian, gets censored because they do not like someone else%26#039;s lifestyle. Is this the way of a free democracy? Are the righteous supposed to keep quiet? Should they accept that others are trying to for them to accept their wickedness?
Do they not have a voice and a God-given right, according to our Constitution, to speak their mind? Especially when their opinion is asked for? Perhaps the agenda for Obama supporters is to change the very foundations for which this country has stood for 200+ years. If I ask for an opinion, like I did here now, I EXPECT to get answers that I do not agree with, don%26#039;t worry, you may still get best answer if you answer rightly....
|||Freedom of speech is for everyone, but as a practicing Christian you should be mindful of what you say. Don%26#039;t let your good works be evil spoken of. Our opinions and beliefs may differ, but we should always treat others the way we want to be treated. If what someone says grieves the Holy Spirit in you, admonish that person in love as the Lord leads you, not for self gain,vengeance or any reason, other than to restore that brother or sister, and is best done privately when possible, not in a open discussion that will put a person on display. A person%26#039;s intentions or motives are what matters most.
If at all possible try to build up, not tear down. Only speak from facts and not hearsay in order to not ruin ones reputation by false information.|||To remove it is to eventually remove it for those who believe and follow Jesus Christ. Hitler did this and 12 million Christians 6 million Jews, and 2 million Gypsies and Homosexuals were executed.
Any one who supports the suppression of speech and the freedom to practice religion is supporting the eventual murder of millions of people.|||Where is the government trying to stifle your freedom of speech???
|||As long as you are not openly and blatenly spreading lies about a person or advocating harm, then you have every right to your opinon. But dont forget that not every one will agree.
Example: A person can say that a homosexual lifestyle is sin. But they can not say that homosexuals are evil and must be wiped from the face of the earth.|||If you are referring to a specific instance of a violation of someone%26#039;s constitutional right to the freedom of speech, that claim of infringement should be brought in a lawsuit against the United States (or other acting government agency) in a court of law. It is the victim%26#039;s responsibility to ensure that constitutional wrongs are corrected by our judicial system (or, the victim can plead their case to the ACLU and hope they file a lawsuit on behalf of the victim. You know, the ACLU: that group which conservatives love to rail against because they defend the rights of innocent victims. If you feel conflicted about seeking their help, I would definitely understand).
However, if you%26#039;re just trying to get pity points by claiming you%26#039;re a victim, but you%26#039;ve never really been %26quot;censored%26quot; at all, then you might want to whine about it to someone who cares.|||I think everyone has the right to speak but no one has the right to but into others lives. The out spoken Christians who insist on condemning others for their actions (gay, abortion, other religious beliefs) should shut up and leave others alone. Those who practice and believe while respecting others are great. Let us go to hell in our own way and to the hell of our choice.
FYI: In my religion Christians are wrong and will suffer for it but I don%26#039;t sit outside churches with signs yelling at them.|||Yell from your soap box as loud as you want, but don%26#039;t try and limit the liberty of your neighbor because you think what he%26#039;s doing is immoral. |||There is a difference between speaking ones mind and pushing for one%26#039;s opinion to become law. Christians have every right to speak out about what they believe, but they do not have the right to alter the constitution or create laws that suppress the rights of others. |||Who is censoring you? Do you honestly think that if someone disagrees with you they%26#039;re interfering with your right to free speech? I%26#039;ve got news for you, those who disagree with you also have a right to free speech, including the right to tell you what they think of your opinions.
You have the right to say whatever you want. However, when you cross the line into trying to impose your opinions on those who don%26#039;t share them, you%26#039;re no longer protected by free speech laws.
It%26#039;s the same principle that says your right to swing your arm stops right before it hits my face.
