[quote]However, you clearly prefer that Christians not spread what they believe[/quote] Sort of, yes. But I won't take action to stop them from spreading their beliefs. Depending on the situation anyway. [quote]and that you retain the ability to spread what you believe.[/quote] This is where you lose me. So I'll just say my position. I think everyone, even if I don't agree with what they believe, should be allowed to spread the belief. How is that hypocritical? Everything we were talking about is speech or at least expression. Maybe I should have used that. Freedom of Expression. Because what else are we talking about when you say challenge? Are we not challenging ideas by discussion? That is why I thought speech would be the better term. [quote]I want Christians to continue to have the ability to challenge beliefs. Yet I don't agree with their stand point.[/quote] That's what I said from the get go and I stand by it. And for the life of me, I can't see how it is hypocritical. :/ maybe I worded myself wrong. It doesn't matter though because that is my position. (Maybe I'll get a better understanding of it some other time and revise my position.) The first part is realizing everyone should be able to express themselves. The second is my stance on what they are expressing. From my understanding, if this is hypocritical.. I would want Christians to challenge ideas, yet actively deny them the opportunity to do so.
