Well fred as much as YOU'D like to believe it I've never said squat to a praying godbot. You are doing what bill tried to do, twist the post, and it's stupid. Once more and try to keep up. Nash said praying in public was a person expressing themselves and anyone that objected was intolerant. Got that part? I said what IF I screamed in their face, that would be ME expressing myself. So now what part of that doesn't make sense to you? Land me in jail for a long time? Keep dreaming. As much as you godbots would love to send atheists to jail, I seriously doubt I'd go to jail for that. And for you to claim that if someone hit me first I wouldn't have the right to hit them back is crazy. You might want to check the law on that one. Wanna talk about someone not making any sense, check yourself.
I clearly didn't twist anything, you used your example of what you felt was freedom of expression and I just laid out the facts that you were wrong and were not comparing apples to apples.
If you really believe that aggressively approaching someone to as you said "scream in their face" is simple freedom of expression and does not give a person the legal right to use physical force to defend themselves if they feel threatened then you are simply wrong. If you believe that if the victim used physical force that the aggressor has a legal right to either continue with or start using physical force too then you are wrong and yes if the aggressor used physical force back then it could land them in jail for a long time. Ask an attorney, they can tell you how the legal system views such violent attacks.
I really didn’t think that you personally would do such a thing as even though you seem feisty, you don't seem like the crazed maniac type so accuse me of a lack of creativity in not being to think of anyone else to use as an EXAMPLE. Contrary to your belief, I would never want for anyone to wind up in jail for their religious beliefs or lack thereof, jail should be reserved for criminals such as the nut jobs that you described who would be so threatening & trying to use intimidation towards a person to stop them from praying.
