Sigh. You just aren't clear on how free speech, and freedom of religion, work, are you, Owner59?

Let me see if I understand this :
Rich,you are pointing out to owner that while speech is free,the CoLDS has the right,under the doctrine of freedom of religion,to chastise or excommunicate the blogger for how he exercises his right?
Now seeing as I completely agree(strange how that works eh?}I still see no problem with owner pointing out how the Latter Day Saints operate ,certainly I am confused as to why we need 2 Free Speech threads....lol.

As some of us keeping pointing out, Mike, no matter how much it frustrates and annoys those who prefer a more totalitarian intolerance, the answer to speech used badly, is more speech.

Now, as to why the OP felt the need to plagiarize a thread title, I doubt we could go there without creating work for the mods.
