That man is not a Christian. Christians are people who follow the teachings of Christ. I don't recall at all where Christ said to be hateful and hurtful to others. You can say you're anything you want, but your actions show who you really are.

And people wonder why atheism is the fastest growing 'religion' in the U.S....

Oscar: Atheism is not a religion and it’s not “the fastest growing” affiliation. The fastest growing affiliation is “none”, but that still includes people who believe in magic, ghosts, reincarnation, chakras, healing crystals, and anti-vax myths (among all kinds of other nonsense). People who self-describe as atheist is still quite a minority in the USA and there’s a lot of bigotry against atheists (including some places that still have “no atheists in government” laws on their books).

a LOT of christians completely forget the NEW testament. preach about Jesus, until people want to puke on them, and then start quoting the OLD testament. so... really, people like him are NO BETTER than the Muslims that follow the Quran that these dark age jack offs pretend to hate. and yet.... nope, same s**t, same pile. it all smells in the summer.

This man is not behaving as a Christian. Claiming to be a Christian and being a Christian are two different things.

Not true Christians then. ''You shall know them by their fruits.''

There’s a difference, yes, but not legally. There are only a few types of speech that are excluded from the freedom of speech rights in the USA and this psychotic a*****e, with his hate speech, was still covered under free speech. If someone arrested him for “inciting violence”, that might’ve worked to shut him down, but judges might not agree with the arresting officers and declare that the psychotic a*****e’s rights were violated. It’s rare to get white men arrested for this kind of thing; Trump was inciting violence in one (or more) of his campaign rallies and the cops did nothing. However, the school, as a private property owner, could have had him removed from their property. If he was technically standing OFF their property or on public property, then it again becomes a case where there’s no law to send him away or stop him.

Amber, do you seriously believe he's not legally protected from assault while engaged in his first amendment right, as looney as it is?

No it doesn’t; not legally. It’s a very dangerous path to go down. Who defines what hate speech is? How might someone in a position of power abuse that definition to silence legitimate peaceful protest? (There’s already a huge assault on protest rights, by corporations) I’m on the side of human rights here and I firmly believe this psychotic a*****e should be prevented from engaging in violent speech like this (advocating rape is, IMO, speech which incites violence, and that IS illegal), but the law currently doesn’t share my opinion on this and I’m aware of how risky it is to meddle with the definition of acceptable and unacceptable speech. That’s WHY free speech cuts both ways.

Tommy Walker is correct in his statement about speech rights, yet he was down-voted into oblivion. This is where the left-wing (where I stand) falls down on the job of rational discourse. Sigh.

Same here.

Truly God's heart is grieved also. He is most strict with those who spew what is false about him. Misrepresenting him is serious.

That isn't what separation of church and state means,rather it means that a Muslim president can't make it illegal to be a Catholic,and that you can't be exempted from a law simpily because of your religion

#45 incites hate speech at his rallies all the time, it just depends who and it depends where? If he was a middle age or young educated Black man we wouldn’t be having this discussion.

Well ACTUALLY, freedom of speech only means the GOVERNMENT can't punish him for what he says. A university though? Can. Freedom of Speech isn't freedom from repercussions, only freedom to not be jailed by the gov for things you say. He ABSOLUTELY deserved to be hit like that since it didn't kill him, and he'd absolutely deserve to be permanently banned from the university, and it wouldn't be going against his "right" since it wouldn't be the Government doing it.
