…. but no farther than Christians have gone. To think one Abrahamic religion is better than the next is why so many have been killed "in the name of God" by each and every one of them. The world would be better if they each controlled their own speech, their own passions, their own "god". A couple of weeks ago in RI, dozens of Jewish memorial stones were destroyed in a Jewish cemetery. The Jews were joined by Muslims and Christians who repaired the damage. A GOOD religious thing trumping (no pun intended), a BAD religious thing … white supremacists being largely "Christian". There are good Christians, there are good Muslims, there are good Jews. Then, there are the bad of EACH! To consider one better than the other is what starts WARS! That's "going too far"! Side: Yes.

You have NEVER read anything about ME "hating Christians". Certain "factions" or personalities I may express my distaste for, Like Frank Graham and others that use their positions to push political agendas, but NOT Christians as a whole, or even by majority. Half of (or more) of my own family .. including daughters, call themselves Christian … with my blessing. I'm kind of tired of having conservatives , and especially the religious right, grouping all "liberals" together as majority "Christian haters"! There are , I believe, JUST AS MANY liberals that consider themselves "Christians" as there are conservatives. Along with the "white Christians" there are black and Hispanic Christians, majority "liberal" … as well as much more "pious", than most whites. "...about Muslims censoring Christian speech." I only censor Christian speech when it tries to turn my country into a secular nation … which it isn't and was never intended to be! I see a LOT of Christian censoring of Muslim speech (and tradition), but, that's "different", apparently? I'm "against" a lot of things in BOTH religions, but, I respect their religious rights … as long as they follow our Constitution. Christian (or Muslim) attempts to undermine or change that Constitution I am TOTALLY against unless it is accepted by the majority on both sides! I'm tired of the conservatives favorite game of "buying" Christian power in government to destroy "religious freedom", which includes ALL religions, not just Christian freedom! As John Adams said: "The United States Government is in NO WAY based on the Christian Religion." If I have a "favorite game" it is PRESERVING that. Side: Yes.

No buddy, but these Christians probably did:- Christian militias in Central African Republic 'burnt witches at stake', says UN report The militias, who have fought a vicious sectarian war against local Muslims, kidnapped people they accused of witchcraft, tied them to stakes and then burnt them alive, the report disclosed. Friendly bunch, you Christians. All smiles one moment. Out with the stakes the next. At least Jews are consistent about being pricks. Side: No.
