Should Bill Hicks be banned for being offensive to religion? Or should we just chastise and denegrate him for being offensive? Is he a christianaphobe who pedals prejudice against Christians. You can see the point, if not, and society decrees not, ... then should all religions not be bound by the same principle?
What's the difference between Bill Hicks attacks on religion and the Danish cartoons. I was always brought up to believe the Voltaire maxim, "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

Or, should we just berate you for trying to stir it?
