I believe in free speech as well as the right to practice or not practice religion as is your wont. What I question is the ethos involved in ridiculing folks because one doesn't understand the belief system involved. Ever mock a Wiccan? What goes on in the temple is closed except to folks with temple recommend and you'd never know about it let alone be affected by it either way if someone with ulterior motives didn't sneak in and record it. I know how I felt as an SDS member and Moratorium organizer when police were known to attend and record meetings I was at. Again, situational ethics is a slippery slope and when we adopt the methods of the enemy we become the enemy.
