Absolutely! They are free to do so! I think the real issue here comes down to freedom, and it's very basic. In order to be free to believe what you believe, you have to be willing to let the next guy believe what he believes. You don't have to buy what he believes, just understand that he has a right to his own beliefs.
Otherwise, no one is free.
Listen, God created hell because of deep respect for "alternative" beliefs & lifestyles. That doesn't mean He doesn't send out rescue squads to pick off some of the many heading there.
Also, you seem to have a problem properly delineating the difference 'tween imposition (of beliefs upon others) vs. exposition (of the Gospel/beliefs toward others).
Free Expression, the First Amendment, etc. elevates exposition of what each of us believe.
You somehow (& I believe mistakenly) associate others' exposition on Mormonism as some sort of imposition.

So, let's look @ your comments here with the same sort of treatment you've given me on this thread. So, allow me to partially quote you (italics below)-- to yourself here:
I think, Jenny the real issue here comes down to freedom, and it's very basic. In order to be free to believe what you believe, you have to be willing to let Colofornian believe what Colofornian believes re: Mormonism. You don't have to buy what Colofornian believes re: Mormonism, just understand that Colofornian has a right to Colofornian's own beliefs about Mormonism. Otherwise, no one is free.
Agreed?
I'll bet you just MIGHT be a little more active in overturning peoples beliefs: when you find out they are LIBERAL!
