No my friend...I am talking about the reactions of the people involved...I am suggesting that churches should invite controversial speakers as a university surely should...the comparison is how the individuals involved would react....


No, they shouldn't. A church is a private entity. The colleges and universities are publicly funded. there is a big difference. We have countless examples of how institutions of higher learning, that for may, many years have flaunted their openness to dissent and open mindedness shutting down free speech. Churches have a particular viewpoint, and do not receive public funds, so there is HUGE difference.
