Ah - I'm very sorry for your exposure to Christianity that has really fallen short of God's glory. There's another comment I left talking about friends I've had and actual news reports of Christians in other countries that are killed for their faith (it's particularly bad in the Middle East). Very unfortunate stuff.
Yes, Christians are persecuted in certain countries, and Muslims are persecuted in certain countries, and so forth. That doesn't mean they get to cry about being persecuted in countries where they're the majority and over 90% of elected officials profess the majority religion. 'We're persecuted' doesn't ring true in those circumstances, because it's much more accurate to say 'they're persecuted'. Vicarious persecution isn't admirable or becoming.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
