Rev only supports the 1st Amendment when when it applies to him.
And his right to burn a Quaran. But when it comes to art, the rev offers a word of caution. Not two days after he made national news for a thwarted Q'uaran burning session, Rev. Grisham chimed in about a "controversial" art group for an article in the Amarillo Globe News:

http://amarillo.com/news/local-news/2010-09-12/radically-redefining-art

cut to the money quote:

One of the things that makes society mature is its ability to restrain itself in some activity," said David Grisham, the outspoken associate pastor of the fundamentalist Raven Ministries in Amarillo.

"Art promotes ideas," Grisham said. "You have to be cautious about what you promote, because you might prompt a dangerous action based on those ideas. At some point, art can be unsafe."


I'm sure the irony is lost on him, but it makes a nice snack for DU.

1. Nothing new about that after all he is one of those people who think his religious beliefs are the
True christian beliefs and doesn't think any other religious beliefs have a right to be expressed, just like the rest of the self proclaimed men of god out there. We seen this with their attacks on Muslums, Atheists, Jew's, Catholics, Hindus and any other belief or none belief, anything that calls questions to their motives of bilking cash out of others is a threat to their god ideal and must be destroyed or stopped at all cost.
