You can Censure one, you cannot do both.
As an enlightened society we have no right to dictate to one what he should or should not believe on a personal level.
Hiding behind the concept of labeling somethign that you don't believe in as a lie is the sign of a serious breech in societies laws.

I'm not defining his beliefs as lies (or mine as truth). In fact, I was defending his right to propagate his beliefs.
What I, personally, have against Kirk Cameron is that he's trying to use logical arguments, like that ridiculous banana video, to prove his beliefs are true. Since his beliefs are founded in faith and not logic this is impossible, which should be obvious when examining his arguments. I don't think he's lying or even trying to deliberately mislead people. I just think his arguments are stupid.
I never said anywhere though that he shouldn't be able to be allowed to spread the information. I said that society would be better served if we were better able to disseminate the stupid arguments from the good ones instead of censoring the information.
