Lord Carey attacks PM over Christian 'support'

So, Christians are now a persecuted group within British society are they? If true, which I doubt, then this is a very pathetic and benign form of persecution that they are experiencing compared with the type of persecution that they have historically dished out to others throughout the ages!

Beat me to it Dar I was just about to post this.

His case appears to be that the government are not letting them persecute some people by trying to make gay marriage legal and this counts as persecution AGAINST christians.

Send them to the colonies, that's what we did the last time they got uppity.

How'd that work out America.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

Persecuted? So when you get special treatment and one thing doesn't go your way its persecution. Sounds like a spoiled child to me.

Horribly, still haven't found a place to send them ourselves. Being as yall have experience with this, any suggestions? I hear Australia makes a good dump.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Quote:He said that Mr Cameron "seems to have forgotten in spite of his oft-repeated support for the right of Christians to wear the cross, that lawyers acting for the coalition argued only months ago in the Strasbourg court that those sacked for wearing a cross against their employer's wishes should simply get another job".
Strange, when I was a Christian I never heard any commandment or doctrine that meant I was required to wear a cross...

Wearing a cross is not part of being a Christian. It's a personal expression, nothing more. If your boss tells you to take it off because it goes against company policy, they are not impeding your right to practice your faith. Not are they persecuting you.
