Christian Persecution

[dyresand]

First of all, don't be a baby and call me names.  We're not in grade school - at least I'm not.  He asked someone to define persecution against christians and that's what I did.  It's happening around the world in places like China, North Korea, Africa and the Middle East.  It's also occurring in some institutions, such as colleges, here in the USA, where the administrators and most professors are secular humanists and therefore have the power to suppress christian ideas and practices.  Are you really trying to say that persecution against christians is non-existent?

I actually assumed that the OP meant "American" Christian persecution.  I may be wrong.  As far as schools and colleges go, if they are secular, public institutions, they fall under the protection of separation of church and state.  This has been the case since 1962.  It is only reasonable and respectful to acknowledge that children and young people from many different religious backgrounds attend these institutions.  One religion cannot be promoted above any other by any member of the staff or faculty - that is clearly disrespectful to those who are not members of that religion.  Students are allowed to lead their own prayers and groups if they wish.  If a parent wants a child to attend a religious school, there are thousands of them.

That is what i meant for American christians other than that yeah they are persecuted in third world countries.
