"I place my hand on my wallet and start to worry about which area of free speech in the US is about to be eroded away."
Then the next time a Jehovah's Witness comes to your door,listen. They have been won various freedoms related to speach and worship in 37 separate victories in the US Supreme court. They won another one last year. And, while they will be glad to carry a voluntary donation back to their Kingdom Hall, if you were to visit that KH in person you would not be asked, in any way, shape or form, to contribute.
Leave your wallet<nobr> <wbr></nobr>... and your predjudices<nobr> <wbr></nobr>... at home and come worship Jehovah with us.
Rob<nobr> <wbr></nobr>... your friend isn't much of a Christian if he stoops to that sort of parody. I don't think you gave your assertion of his faith much thought. Imagine if that make-believe distro had been called "Roblimosux" and then your 'friend' had called to borrow a twenty dollars to renew the domain name. If he's any sort of a Christian, he's counting on Jesus for something a whole lot more important than twenty bucks.
Look at it another way. Would you ridicule your employer the morning of review day? Christians are keenly aware that every day is review day.
