They’re both fruit.

AND, they’re both good, AND they’re each a matter of preference, not sin.

...and (since I got my threads crossed, here) I must clarify this: The “both good” and “matter of preference” analysis applies to the “other” thread.

Apples/Oranges applies to this thread as a matter of asserting that the point at issue is fundamentally different from the one in the “other” thread.

“My church/your church” issues, where both churches are founded upon the core apostolic creed, are simply matters of personal preference.

“My church/your church” issues, where one church is founded upon the core apostolic creed, and the other is hostile to it, are not simply matters of preference.

“My faith/your faith” issues, where one faith is The Faith and the other is not, are matters of eternal Heaven and Hell.

The “other” thread has the nature of the first kind of issue; this thread has the nature of the second and/or third.

In none of the three types of issues ought speech be at all repressed as a matter of Law.
