It is a slippery slope when you begin to talk about stopping someone from speaking out about what they believe. If you advocate stopping Cameron, then how would you feel if Dawkins was stopped from distributing the Bible with his own preface to it?
Right or wrong, freedom of speech should be supported, even if you disagree with the message. The only time it should be restricted is if it is inciting hate.
I may disagree with your opinion, but I would always support your right to express it.

That's an excellent point to discuss with peter12, but in the real world saying whatever you want can be destructive and as a society we do put limits on freedom of speech. I can't yell "fire" in a crowded theater to cite an obvious example. Kirk Cameron, regardless of his naivity and belief, should be c0ck-blocked when he tries to preach his stupidity.
