Is it "religiously offensive"?

YouTube banning 'religiously offensive' videos
Posted by 



Note that I posted one of those videos, "The BEST emotional PORN," here. Despite the title, it was hardly offensive - except, I suppose, to the people who are determined to get offended at everything.

No, it wasn't offensive, but it was good at making its point. Don't believe me? You can download the video here and see for yourself.

Yes, it was hard-hitting. Yes, most believers would not like the comparisons. But it wasn't pornographic. It wasn't anything that couldn't be shown to children, even.

But some believers don't want you to see it. Why? Well, probably because it's too effective. Probably because they don't have an answer to it. But that's the thing about free speech - it doesn't have to be popular speech. In fact, popular speech doesn't need protecting.

Don't take my word for it. If you didn't see the video when I posted it two weeks ago, watch it now.
