What can we do to stop the censoring?
What is this ******* world coming to???????
It brings me to tears to see what our forefathers had fought for, is being slowly being taken away piece by piece....
WHAT CAN WE DO?

Exactly how has your right to criticize religion or anything for that matter been eroded? Cite your sources. I am a believer, but am very quick to point out the nonsense some believers espouse. I don't feel my right to free speech has or is being suppressed... all of your examples are outside of the U.S. Do you live in America or the Sudan? If you live here, what ramifications does this have on your freedom of speech?

It seems you have plenty of chances to criticize religions and that people do it quite often. What is being permitted less (fortunately) is the nastiness of not only this but many other forms of expression. It call it Don Imus-itis and it is epidemic proportions. Can we all be a little more civil? And that includes mocking language--asking a "question" that really isn't a question.
PS Read the Constitution. Freedom of expression ONLY applies to government suppression, not Yahoo or any other private company expression.

If our forefathers knew how badly the Constitution was being misused concerning Freedom of Religion, and toward the things of God. Things that were in place that are being thrown away every day they'd all turn over in their graves. When they decided to add IN GOD WE TRUST on our money it wasn't just words to them. It was because of their belief in God and they had fought very hard to have that right. Now many people want God taken out of every thing. Believe me when God is taken out of things He is replaced with evil, do people want that. Prayer was taken out of schools, people sat idly by and let it happen. But what does it cost us as Americans. Well, it has cost people their children, their wives, husbands, mothers and fathers and friends. People can criticize me all they want but I will always stand for God and His only begotten Son the Lord Jesus Christ. Our Forefathers would have done the same.

Nosnod has recommended that everyone that will...send ACLU a Christmas card. This will keep them sooo busy that it will damper their spending sooo much time on fighting against our rights..... sounds like an idea to me...they won't through the cards away because supporters will be sending them....donations in the same form..... this may stop them from trying to change Christmas to Holidays.......

Have you ever tried writing your thoughts down in a plain and specific set of grievances and mailing them to a senator or congressman, school board official, mayor, city councilperson, or newspaper editorial department? There is a lot that you CAN do, the problem is, few actually do them!
Please don't repeat the error of those who willingly go unheard and then fret about nobody doing anything to stop it! That's how we lose our rights to begin with! Vocalize your thoughts--they're worth their weight in GOLD!

How about something specific? How is your freedom of expression being limited? I've been to places where simply giving your teddy bear the wrong name will get you arrested. How is anything like that happening here?
