We dare because there are still such things as free will and freedom of speech.
How dare you imply that we have no right to freely express our own views and opinions... and what are you afraid of... a little criticism? Doesn't that book of yours tell you to turn the other cheek?
I think God is big enough to stand up for himself, don't you? What made you His self-appointed protector? Don't you think you're taking His name in vain by anticipating how He feels about being called "bad names"?
Countries where it is not permitted to call relgious symbols "bad names" and speak your mind without fear or threat are called fascist dictatorships or theocracies and include places like Iran, Saudia Arabia and North Korea. Are you really saying you would want to live in such a place?

A Lord owned a large beautifull land, which had many people living on it whom He loved. One day, the Lord decides to take a journey away from his land. He leaves no body in charge , because every body on the land are his children, both daughters and sons. As time goes by, some of the people begin to lose faith and fear, so much in fact, that they begin to believe that if they do not do certain things, they will be punished when there Father, the Lord, returns.
They give themselves the title of Leader, and begin to preach to others in the land, there belief s, and warn everyone that if they do not do as the Leader says , then there Father, the Lord, shall punish them when He returns.
Some begin to follow the Leader, and others decide not to, for they know How much there Father, the Lord truely loves them.
Yet the Leader and his followers, decide to banish those whom do not follow him, and throw others out of the land.
One day, the Lord of the land, there Father, finally Returns. And when He does, He notices that many of his children were not there.
Asking around , He finds out what happened, and therefore, brings forth to Him, the leader and all the leaders followers.
And the Lord, there Father, asks them ," You sent forth some of my children from there Home here in my land . Why did you do this?"
The leader and his followers answered," We did this for You, showing our love to you we did so in your name too , to cleanse your land my lord father."
With this, the Lord, Father got Very angery, " You did NOTHING for ME ! You have sent forth MY CHILDREN into Darkness and what s worse is You did so In my NAME !! For this YOU shall recieve the SAME punishment you gave those you judged."
And with that said, He banished the leader and all his followers , and threw them out of his land into darkness

How dare you call my imaginary friend an idiot! HOW VERY DARE YOU!
The simple answer is, people don't always believe the same things as you. They don't have to, it's their choice.
Heck is where you go if you don't believe in Gosh.
Anyway, chill out. Turn the other cheek (and get that one slapped to)
=D

You seem to be angry...turn the other cheek. You seem to be hostile...turn the other ear. Go about your business to be a better Christian (or whatever) and stop wasting time condemning others for their transgressions (in your eyes). And the word you were searching for at the end of this diatribe is "heading," not "hiding."

I will call a God that burns someone forever because they don't believe in him an idiotic,insane, irrational God. I will call people that believe in this type of God idiotic, insane, and irrational. The God that you describe is evil. Your beliefs in that type of hateful God are evil.

Hey hey, I know you're upset about people badmouthing Jesus. But He's used to that okay? He doesn't want us getting mad at others in His name. He wants us spreading love not anger it's not a good example of Jesus is it?:) Calm down, Jesus didn't lash out at the Pharisees when they threw lies at Him. Give em time or help them understand! Show them patience and love to the point that they'll see Jesus in you!:) Cheer up!:D
