Free Religious Speech

 

My take is that individualism is paramount to all other social arrangements, not exclusively or only, but primarily and mostly.

 

We cannot be genuine, developed individuals until we agree to serve the Good Spirits by self-actualizing.

 

We cannot self-realize unless we are allowed almost complete liberty, free will and independence of thought to pursue our interest and to discover truth.

 

We need to write and speak in the public arena as we feel, even if our speech or its contents strike some as overbearing.

 

When it comes to traditional religious rivalries between great, traditional religious like Christianity and Islam, it is imperative that they speak the truth to and about each other, with some rules to follow.

 

First, speak the truth but do not use insulting or inflammatory language, that incites its true believers on either side of the rivalry to consider, anger, terrorism or holy war rot revenge their insulted faith.

 

Second, Muslims need to modernize, moderate and demilitarize their faith by being  and acting temperate,,  maintaining that they are the one truth faith but accept that other good faiths and their adherents worshipping benevolent deities must be coexisted with, and that holy war, religious bickering and violent persecution or taxing other believers, unbelievers and agnostics is an abomination in the eyes of God, and is not to be tolerated.

 

 

Third, Christians and all religions need to accept the command from God that they can criticize other believers, and, while exercising their free speech, should generally speak diplomatically in non-inflammatory ways, to prevent the arising of responsive violence and mutual angry recriminations and threats of mob attacks against rival, militant mobs from competing faiths versus mob of competing faiths going at it.
