Christians, by and large, require persecution in order to fulfill prophecy. Since the persecution of Christians doesn't occur on the scale and with the regularity they need, they need to invent it.
This is not to say that persecution of Christians hasn't happened, either now or in the past - it clearly has. But they seem to have this burning desire to look upon EVERY curtailment of religious expression as a persecution, when it obviously isn't. Simply because your kids can't recite the Lord's Prayer in geography class doesn't count as persecution. Your kids aren't being persecuted when they are being taught the facts about biological evolution. You haven't been persecuted when you are told that you can't erect a nativity crèche on public property.
I'd write more, but I'm assembling my minions for this year's War On Christmas.
