The liberals are at it again. They have scarcely come over the shock of acknowledging defeat in the Deon Maas/Rapport saga when being faced by a new onslaught. This time it is an organized campaign to organize a boycott against the film The Golden Compass. There is just no rest for the wicket’s soul!
Again their defense against this so-called ‘fundamentalist’ Christian onslaught is freedom of speech. Accepting that the film is put forward as ‘speech’ I also understand the boycott campaign to be ‘speech’. It would seem to me that both sides are free to speak. Both sides are free to listen and read. Both sides are free to ignore the other. So, what is the problem, that conservative Christians within our decadent society, even dare to exercise the rights?
Nowhere did I notice the mentioned of the right to Freedom of religion ……. !
Just a final thought: It is becoming high fashion for people to declare themselves atheists. I also hate organized religion but one need not throw the baby out with the wash water. It might serve you well to think and read a bit more before expressing yourself. The Universe might just right you off as a fool!

‘n Oordentlike reaksie deur Christene sou wees om die kritiek op hulle wat deur Pullman se werk impliseer word, met argumente te weerlê in plaas van om ‘n SMS veldtog teen die vertoon van die fliek te voer.

Ek stem heelhartig met jou saam. Eweneens dink ek dat hierdie betrokke veldtog ‘n bietjie laf is. My argument is net dat ook hierdie mense vry is om hulleself uit te spreek en dat almal wat die betrokke SMS ontvang vry is om daarmee te maak wat hulle wil. Die verstandiges onder ons sal dit ignoreer wat noodwendig van die veldtog ‘n mislukking sal maak. ‘n Artikel is geplaas op http://alleman.wordpress.com/2007/12/09/christene-en-mag/ waarmee ek glo jy ook sal kan saamgaan.

Ek kan nogal met daardie artikel saamstem, want ek het dit geskryf
My punt is dat ‘n SMS-veldtog maak nie argumente nie, maar probeer om die vertoon van die fliek stop te sit. Die van ons wat nie in daardie Christelike binnekringetjie sit nie, sien nie so ‘n aksie as vryheid van spraak nie, maar ‘n as ‘n poging om met kragdadigheid die res van die samelewing in ‘n rigting te dwing. Dit beindruk ons nie, dit vervreem ons.
