If a religion embraces child sexual abuse, would that too fall under your protective religious umbrella?

i will agree with that- but then you have the issue that they were easy to identify because they did not.

i think we need some common sense, and i certainly don't think people should be able to wear masks in banks-even with the call for "freedom".

covering the face makes identification difficult, so we could compromise and allow people to wear whatever they want below the neck.

We do not tell others what they can wear based upon some idea what might happen at some point in the future. We do not hold the many accountable for the actions of what possibly could be the few at some point in the future.

To further your bank scenario, it is overwhelmingly men that rob banks, hence we should not allow men in banks.

9 was a totally failed attempt at being funny and in 18 he didn't say the idea wasn't offensive. He said that other ideas that get acceptance by many are more offensive.

So?
That means, in your mind, that none of them will (when they have shown that they do)?
What a meaningless post.
