Let's go one step further and ban all images of Jesus on a crucifix.

I think perhaps the discussion boils down to two things:

1. Do we draw a line

2. If so where?

Which leads to, if 1 is yes, what criteria do we use to decide 2?

The answers of many on this thread evidently are

1: Yes.

2: Wherever we want it drawn.

Not recognizing that THEY will almost assuredly not be the ones drawing the line, and whoever IS in charge of line drawing will most likely draw it in a place these posters won't be too happy about.

This issue is one of those "be careful what you wish for" deals.

Simple. Always has been. Officials are elected who have the authority to enforce the wishes of the population and who share their views on what is, or is not acceptable. The population can change the equation easily by changing those who get elected. That formula works very well for a whole bunch of important things. Censorship is no more difficult, nor less important.
