[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a lot of deeply held beliefs that other people, the media, etc. don't believe in, attack, or mock.  It doesn't make me angry, in part because it's not surprising.

I don't believe that Mohammed was a prophet or that Jesus is the son of God.  I should be able to say those things without making someone angry or being accused of showing disrespect to someone else's beliefs. I have no desire to depict anyone's holy figure in an unflattering light but if you tell me I can't render an image at all, you overreach.  [/quote]
you have all kinds of deep beliefs that other people do not believe in. You do have a right to render an image, but your right to depict someone elses holy figure gives away your other belief, and that is that you despise beliefs that are not your own.

I don't despise belief in figures I don't think exist. I do reject any suggestion that I must show those figures any level of respect. Politeness and kindness may cause me to do so but no one has any claim on my respect.

AND  I would defend those who do despise holy figures and want to express it. I just don't share their hatred. [/quote]
