Honestly just looking for some humor. When I am talking about stupid Christians I am referring to the one's who are crazy. Like Westrbro Crazy.
Eh, watch Secular Talk on youtube, you'll see shit on there you wouldn't fucking believe, although you'll probably seldom know if you should laugh or not.

All kidding aside, there really are persecuted Christians, but just not any in the west.
I think it is important to skip labels for a second and think of bigotry and oppression and majority/minority as geographical and era time frame. You would be part of a majority in one place, but move and be a minority in another, so it always depends.
There are also persecuted Muslims depending too. If you are a Sunni living under Shiites your life will be harder. If you are a Shiite living under a Sunni majority, same thing.
If you are a Kurdish Christian or Arab gay or Arab atheist life in many places in the east is going to be harder if not impossible to be open.
But no, if you are a Christian in Europe or America, and others are not putting up with your bullshit and you don't get everything you want all the time, that is not persecution.
When the persecution is at the hands of an almost indistinguishable alternative faith, it can't really be taken seriously. Honestly, getting a taste of their own fucking medicine is probably the best thing that could happen to them, wake their asses up from how stupid the whole goddamned enterprise is.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?
