The point is that xtians are full of shit when they do it.
Your ability to shove your beliefs down my throat is not protected activity and you don't get to claim that I'm persecuting YOU when I tell you to shut the fuck up.

So you're not saying my statement is wrong, you're stating a case of 'everyone else is, why not us?" BTW: some of those groups you mention have legitimate reasons to have gripes with society, though few openly scream persecution. And some Muslims will just riot.

I don't think there is any institutionalized persecution in the US, but there is a strong move on to put christianity down. It's probably coming mostly from Hollywood, which has enormous power to influence public perception. Of course institutionalized christianity has persecuted various groups over history too, but none of it is right.

It is not my job to make you feel good about being a superstitious twit. You can get that from your fellows. (April 14, 2014 at 9:52 pm)Lek Wrote:(April 11, 2014 at 12:39 pm)Stimbo Wrote: Um - okay. Are you seriously suggesting that the opulence and privileged status of the xtian churches in Western societies somehow equates to the treatment of minority groups in oppressive regimes - not just xtians, either?

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
