He didn't say anything about killing people. I said something about killing people. I drew the (short) line between someone advocating censorhip to save MY soul, to the Inquisition torturing me to save my soul, to Muslims beheading me to save my soul. Leave my soul to me, thank you very much... Nice straw man though. He'll be happy being knocked down.

The rhetoric I have been hearing on this subject is ridiculous. "Losing one's soul"??? From watching a movie or reading a book???

This is a classic over-reaction, by people who have no clue what they're talking about (since they haven't read the book or seen the movie), who advocate book burning or movie censorship, or other 1st amendment infringements, in the name of protecting people from themselves. Don't you see the way of that "slippery slope"?

So you did lie.

Either you can't tell the difference between using free speech to counter misinformation and censorship, or you're lying again. Either way, you're saying free speech is against the Constitution. Should I draw some short lines for you?
