there's no connection between being critical of these backwater asshats and any limitation of their right to free speech.
Correct. You'll note that we share an opinion of this alleged "Pastor." SF and I, however, are discussing the fact that in the UK what these asshats want to do -is- illegal, and why he thinks such laws should be applied in the US vs why I think such laws are idiotic, unfair, and immoral.

but there could be a legitimate conflict over community standards in that particular town or county
So long as that conflict remained nonviolent, sure. I for one certainly wouldn't be doing any business with these jerkoffs.

Quote:
that conflict could result in the asshat church of jesus being prevented from exercising their formally protected right to be as stupid as they want to be.
And here's where it gets sticky. How does one nonviolently yet physically prevent someone from doing something?

and i expect that libertarians wouldn't be able to do anything but cheer that community on.
Fuckin' A Right I would. Shun these idiots! Boycott their businesses, shun social contact with them and their families, turn them into non-functional pariahs! Look -through- them when they approach on the street, ignore them utterly when they talk! Don't buy anything from or sell anything to them! -THAT- is community action of the best and most moral kind, and I applaud all those who engage in it against this alleged "church."
