Here's a good thought:
But as I have said repeatedly during the Everyone Draw Mohammed controversy, the ability to freely criticize religions is a necessary component of freedom of religion. The syllogism is simple. Freedom of religion includes the freedom to choose one’s religion. The freedom to choose one’s religion is the right to make an informed choice. The right to make an informed choice requires that everyone else is free to speak their minds on each and every faith, so you, the person choosing your faith, can weigh the pros and cons of each.
Tolerance in this society cannot mean we never tell the rude truth about each other’s faiths, as we see those truths. Tolerance means you have to hear rude things said about your deity, you have to see the image of your savior defaced, and respond with nothing more than speech of your own. You have to tolerate other people’s inevitable rudeness toward your particular faith.
