So why do Christians here in the United States have such a persecution complex

[Minimalist]

Kitan,  when was this history supposed to be when they were historically nice,  but killed for merely believing in god?

Brush up on the history of religion.  In the very beginning, when the word of Jesus was first spreading and Christianity was first beginning to be created, Christians were good people who died merely for believing in the Christian concept of God.  They were killed by the Romans.  I am certain Min can verify this.

Actually, no.  That's mainly horseshit from a later time.  I highly recommend Candida Moss' "The Myth of Persecution."

Moss, professor of New Testament and early Christianity at the University of Notre Dame, challenges some of the most hallowed legends of the religion when she questions what she calls “the Sunday school narrative of a church of martyrs, of Christians huddled in catacombs out of fear, meeting in secret to avoid arrest and mercilessly thrown to lions merely for their religious beliefs.” None of that, she maintains, is true. In the 300 years between the death of Jesus and the conversion of the Emperor Constantine, there were maybe 10 or 12 scattered years during which Christians were singled out for supression by Rome’s imperial authorities, and even then the enforcement of such initiatives was haphazard — lackadaisical in many regions, although harsh in others. “Christians were never,” Moss writes, “the victims of sustained, targeted persecution.”

These people have been bullshitting themselves for so long that they have made it into an art form.
