I asked, how to tell if certain speech puts someone in danger of violence? It was a rhetorical question. The myth of the free speech crisis .. On this very board believers are not a protected group, as some other groups, and there has been a considerable amount of aggressivity, far beyond saying that hell awaits them "threat", directed towards them. Does it mean that such an attitude does not contribute to violence against them or just nobody cares?
If you can point to evidence of higher-than-average incidences of real-world harm against believers as a group, and give examples from this very board of the sort of rhetoric you think may be an enabling cause of such overrepresentation of believers as victims of violence, then at least you'd have established that it was worth having this discussion. As it is, though, you've got two premises that appear false at worst, and are unevidenced at best, so any conclusions drawn from them are pretty pointless.
