29. 100% agreement here.
"Persons who do give credit and adherence to a particular body of religious beliefs can have no reasonable expectation, and certainly have no right, to never meet with any expression of disagreement with that body of beliefs, even if that disagreement is so total as to constitute complete disrespect for their beliefs."

i just wrote something similar:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=6196104&mesg_id=6197261

"In the overwhelming proportion of instances, such expressions are far from bigotry: in my experience the most vigorous disdain for religious beliefs is found among people who are more familiar with the doctrines and practices they assail than the average person in the Sunday pews."

Yup.
