Freedom from consequences? Nah!

The problem is not with your choice. We are all free to make ours.
The problem is not with your religious beliefs, though dog only knows there’s enough toxin there.
The problem isn’t with you publicly stating your religious beliefs and even preaching them. Our constitution, and indeed human rights, gives everyone the freedom to proselytise what they hold true, as long as it does not infringe on other people’s rights.
The problem isn’t that you expect others to follow your beliefs and look down upon those that don’t. Your expectations are your demons alone to fight and control.
The problem is that you and your ilk believe that your publicly held and openly broadcast beliefs are somehow above mockery.

The problem isn’t freedom to choose or express.
The problem is your objection to others choosing to laugh at your publicly stated stand.

Here’s a simple rule to follow on social media: If your expression of ideas can be accessed by someone within the rules of that social media channel (that is without using unethical or illegal means to hack you), they are free to express their opinions, whatever that may be.

I can’t assert my right to fart in public without accepting that some people may distance themselves from me and laugh at me. There’s no point throwing a tantrum without once again being ridiculed. That’s just how this works.
