Beliefs, tolerance, and the logical paradoxes inherent therein

You have the right to your beliefs.
You have the right to free speech.
You must be tolerant and not infringe other people's beliefs.

BUT

What if your beliefs entail calling into question other people's beliefs?
There were more paradoxes meant for here butI think I forgot most of them......

Maybe, just maybe......

I'm currently watching an immeasurably exciting Champion's League Final, that's why.

You have the right to your beliefs - they're in your mind and nobody can take that away from or even permit you to have what is totally private

Your right to free speech is limited. The Constitution has established some limits, every association you belong to has some limits. Criminal law prohibits some forms of free expression. You are not permitted in all cases to speak without restraint. We even have rules, subject to moderator action, that limit free speech.

Do beliefs justify all action? Hardly. The KKK believes one thing but, uinder penalty of law, is prohibited from expressing some of those beliefs. A person in society, whatever the society, is never truely autonomous.

That should answer your concerns.
