There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.

From my perspective, I like to talk with people who have different views. However, when those views are hate against people for their race/sexuality/ethnicity/etc then my patience goes away. Their ideas are just excuses to heap on more suffering to people for things outside of their control. Other than that I am open to debate.
That means you do want censorship and silencing of others at a certain point, even though what a person believes cause no harm to others, it's only when they act on it than it can be damaging.
It's better for people to speak freely without consequences so you know what a person truly believes so you know who to avoid. With censorship or silencing, you will never know who someone truly because they won't discuss, and that person could turn against you when they have an opportunity to hurt you because they had to stay silent about what they truly throught all along but you never knew because they were avoiding any consequences for what they believe in.
You do understand that when someone discusses their beliefs, and those beliefs are hateful, then they have actually caused harm and damage to others, right? They took the action of espousing those beliefs, and they should be accepting of the consequences of doing so.
Reading between the lines of your comment, you seem to be trying to bait others into saying something like "I want censorship of beliefs", in an attempt to then turn around and feel justified in your beliefs because others "want to censor you". If you are truly trying to do this, please have some dignity and stop. You are arguing like a child.
There is no such thing as suffering damage from a belief. Only physical action causes damage.
Only the weak minded get outraged over a statement or belief. Nobody can offend you unless you give them the permission and power to offend you. If want protection from reading or hearing things you don't like, it shows how under developed you are.
As soon as you go outside, a person can insult you and there's nothing you can do about it. If you physically attack someone for simply insulting you or mocking you, you are the criminal and it proves you have no self control, you are a delusional narcissist.
