I'm sorry, I did not know we were picking a battle. I thought another belief system picked a battle with us nine years ago. Thank you for correcting me. I wish I could be part of the "we need to pick the battles wisely" crowd like you but I am just an American guy who was raised to fight back when when punched. Now I just like to flip off people like you because you can act 'Wisely'. You wouldn't know wisdom if it bit you in the butt, but feel free to speak "Wisely" while leaving it to others to insure your right to speak. Good day to you.
No, this pastor is deliberately picking this battle. I don't think it is a battle that advances any cause, either political or spiritual.

No, they declared war. It is a war we have to fight on many battlefields, physical, political and spiritual. Some battles are thrust upon us, and some are of our choosing. If we choose a battle, it should be because we can advance our cause in some way.

I would be interested to hear you explain how this particular act helps insure my right to speak...
I agree with every single word of your post.
