* How many of us would like activists to show up at our churches with graphic photographs of homosexuals and bullhorns to shout things we find offensive?

Something like that has already been done on a number of occasions. One infamous example of this was ACT-UP's desecration of St. Patrick's Cathedral.

Right! And maybe you can help me. I can't seem to find the threads of FReepers pointing out that it's their expression of free speech. I can't find Marcavage or WorldNetDaily speaking out in favor of their First Amendment rights to do so.

Frankly, I think both displays are vulgar, repulsive, degrading, and disrespectful. But I am in the minority on this debate, I guess. Most here seem to love such things.

Gondring....the street is not a church. Your comparison is more of an analogy or even a contrast. A church is a private place with the events going on inside for those who WISH to attend. When we start worshipping in the street, setting up chairs and a pulpit, you thinking would be right. IF they are thinking this is their "worship" they need to hold it inside where it is NOT forced on others. A street is not a private place and is open to ALL.
