What about the ideas of other faiths? Should non-christians have the right to censor christian art they judge obscene (such as images of the crucifixion)? What about christian ideas?
Should we all have the right to censor anything about other faiths we find objectionable?

All censorship is wrong.

Christians are censored, we can't pray at schools, we can't pray at high school football games. Our children are told they can't take Bibles to school. The 10 Commandments are not allow in public places, and God forbid there be a Cross anywhere. We have no 1st Amendment rights.
Non-Christians already tells us what we are not allowed to have, ie the ACLU.
But these things we know are the norm and only going to get worse as time goes by. Just sit back and watch, with each passing day more and more of our rights are striped from us.
A time will come when we will be outlawed. In fact there are many places in the world today where owning a Bible is against the law. Preaching the name of Jesus is against the law in many countries around the world. In a few countries becoming a Christian will get you death.
Censorship of any religion is wrong.

If we censor anything we find objectionable, then we aren't we acting AGAINST the very act of God? Since God is against sin... BUT yet he leaves humans with the choice... " to commit or not to commit" because he gave each soul a free spirit, to exercise free will for Freedom of the Soul. He gave Adam and Eve the choice to do the Right thing by him...
If God whom all beings rely upon gives all beings the Liberty of Free Will... who are we to Censor that which God has given unto his children?
Do we think we are Better than God? or Wiser than God in his infinite Wisdom?
Without other Faiths, how do you know that the Christian faith is the one pure way to God? Then again, without other faiths then life will be like a high Security prison cafeteria... you eat whatever they dish out to you... No choice, No Right make any choice... and The Govt is your friend, its for your own good.... reminds me of communism doctrine in the Bamboo Curtain Era of the Chinese Govt

If I find something I think is objectionable, I'll sure as hell censor it in my home. I don't "object" to others faiths.I don't spend time worrying too much about it. Isn't it hard enough to take care of our own religion? The crucifixion is barbaric. It's scary. I'm afraid for my kids to see some of the things depicted in picture Bibles.

I really have absolutely no idea where you're getting that Christians want to censor things. No, we should not have the right to idea-censorship, but I don't oppose legal standards for obscenity.
No, no one has the right to censor something on the basis that they don't agree with it. Good grief.

Should we have the right to censor them. No, that would be violating the whole "freedom of religion" thing. But, as Christians, we should make a firm stand against them.

I am Christian and I find it offensive to look at pictures depicting Christ as this emaciated, bleeding, dying man. So, I do not go to places where I would have to look at them. I do not think they should be censored simply because I do not agree with them, I simply think you should use common sense and either leave or shut your eyes if you see something you object to.

Yes,the religious, since they are the majority,have a right to censor anything that is immoral and obscene. Too bad unbelievers are the minority.
