While visiting a church recently, a severely obese pastor delivered a sermon. I had a tough time listening to the sermon about the failure of “Christians to witness.” I fell into the sin of judging him based on his obesity.

Clearly this is a police agency in the United States squelching somebody and their opinion. Is this freedom of speech?
