Should religion be protected from criticism?
In some countries it is illegal to criticise religion and in others -such as the UK – there are moves to restrict free speech concerning religion.
Do you think this is right or shouldn’t religion be subject to pukka scrutiny like any other ideology?
Adherents of different religions often say that it is wrong to speak out against their religion with some even resorting to violence. They say that criticism hurts their feelings.
But what about others who are affected by religion?
Should homosexuals have to live with Christianity and Islam demanding the death penalty for homosexuality and not be allowed to criticise these ideologies?
Should children be indoctrinated with religion before they are able to think for themselves and make up their own minds?
Are people who are affected by religious terror – be it direct violence or just longer queues at airport check-in – allowed to discuss the religion that has caused this? Or should they be punished for some kind of speech crime?
what?
Well I made that seven questions all in the same post. Which one would you like answered first by our panel of experts, and in what order should the subsequent ones be answered?????
PS: Answers on 2 sides of A4 please.
No, ok, no, yes most pukka, uh-huh, what about them, of course not you crazy munchkin, repeat last bit, depends on the country, I never discuss speech crime.
Thanks Toy
Thats made it a lot clearer :shock:I prefer kosher scrutiny to pukka, but that is just my own thoughts on this matter.

Religion is man-made and therefore open to criticism, and I don’t believe in Aelius.

Definitely not. Nothing is above scrutiny.
