I think the problem is that some of us are talking about the wackier examples, while others are talking about something else because of supposedly "appropriate topic drift." People are subjected to things that bother them every day -- some of those things they have a right to be upset about, and others they don't. People generally think they have a right to never be offended, period, which isn't true. You, however, are within your rights to show affection to a partner by holding hands. Someone can be indignant about that, but it doesn't harm them and it's none of their business. However, going into a church confessional dressed as a sluttly school girl is over-the-top and harmful to people who are in their own space, i.e. their church, during a time that is important and special to them. Having a girl carry a Bible, wear a cross, or wear a WWJD shirt, none of that stuff affects anyone or harms anyone. The majority of people wouldn't even notice her, and if they did, they wouldn't be able to see "oh, she's using my religion as humiliation" because it's not something that would be broadcast. Really, only people who knew how anti-religion she really was would know that anything "funny" was going on there. But going into their space and making a mockery of something that's important to them -- engaging them and making them part of it -- that's wrong.
