You're always hearing people going on about a 'war' on Christianity, Muslims freak out about once a month about some perceived slight to their prophet. It seems to me if people really had any strength to their faith these things wouldn't matter! After all, if you really believe in your god, who supposedly created THE UNIVERSE and everything in it, what would the carping of some malcontents matter in the big picture? What power do mocking or disrespectful words have against the almighty creator of everything? If your faith was sincere the obvious answer would be 'none'. The fact that people react the way they do has a lot more to do with temporal Earthly matters than sprituality, and their defensive behavior a clear sign of a faith that is immature; still fixated on symbolism and ceremony than what really matters, their soul, which lies out of reach of any Earthly influence, let alone some silly mocking words...
