In the public square everyone has a right to say anything they wish.
Those rights may be trampled but they're still yours. If they follow
you into your living room without invitation. You can punch them in the
snoot for all I care.

To those who have raised the "freedom of religion" issue with regard
to a group's preaching/proselytizing I would only add this: the
concept and exercise of Freedom of Religion is indeed a wonderful
thing. However, for those who take Christ's command to "Go therefore
and preach" personally upon themselves, their responsibility is no
less in a country that has no such constitutional protections. Like
the apostles of Jesus' day that were ordered by the Jewish Sanhedrin
(High Court) to stop preaching, they would answer: "We must obey God
as ruler, rather than men." (Acts 5:29) A Christian is under a
scriptural obligation to obey the secular rulers in all things,
EXCEPT those that would require them to break a command from a Higher
Authority.
So their right to preach over-rides my right to follow my own beliefs?
