We already knew that.
Did we? It's hard to tell by reading this thread.

I can walk up to you on the street and flip you the bird and there's nothing you can legally do about it.
It doesn't mean I should do this just because I can or because it's a protected action.

Well, I thought it was clear anyway. If someone like Fred Phelps said celebrating christmas will send you to hell, I will disagree with him and think he is mentally off balance, but I will defend his right to say it.
Yeah.... I guess. I'm maybe not quite as big a fan of freedom of speech as you are. I think everyone should have it, but I think being respectful is just as important.
I'm not saying that people I disagree with shouldn't have the right to say what they want, but I think it's wrong to push it in the faces of people that don't care to see it. So putting an anti-Christmas message up is fine, but putting it right next to a Christmas display would not be fine if it were up to me. And that goes for all religions/traditions. If there was a Chanukah display of some kind (sorry I don't know much about Jewish tradition), I think it would be disrespectful to put up a nativity scene next to it.
I think being respectful of others is something that's really been missing for a long time in America. It's the next step after "tolerating" so you'd think with all the tolerating of others we're supposed to be doing there would be more respect but sadly this doesn't seem to be the case.
I just don't equate the right to construct a nativity scene with the right to throw eggs at it, or post a degrading sign next to it.
Setting up a nativity sign isn't negating or ridiculing the beliefs of others. IT's an expression of faith.
However putting up a religion-bashing sign or whatever right next to it is nothing but a small minded attempt to negate the rights of others.
Like I said earlier, freedom of speech covers everyone . . . but freedom of speech while respecting others is apparently beyond the grasp of some.
bullshit. More lies perpetrated by those who want to shut down the voice of Christianity by labeling it as "offensive" and/or "hate speech".
The cross represents the ultimate sacrifice and as such is something which represents all that is good on heaven and earth.
We are never to forget the sacrifice our Lord made for us. It isn't like it was a 'mistake" or something out of God's hands.

I think they are refering to the fact a christian church wants to post a sign "santa will take you to hell". Which is hate speech! Do I think every christian church is offensive, no!bullshit.

Even your own religion states the cross is a torture device
Would you care to back this up with a reference to scripture or is this more of your opinion about Christianity?
*rolls eyes* If it wasn't then why would it have been bad that a prophet was hung on it. 2 + 2 = 4.
