But freedom isn't freedom without the right to pursue what you value—money or knowledge, pleasure or sacrifice, God or atheism, community or misanthropic solitude—rather than what others think you should value. It includes the right to go to hell, and the right to tell others to do the same.That defines us as human beings. It's why we have free will. It's why it's up to us make a choice and then reap the consequences or rewards.
Without meaning to sound overly religious, it's why anyone interfering with that choice, by threats or force and for reasons other than defense of self or others, commits an act of blasphemy.
