Mayrtdom is so intricately linked with Christian theology, their very god is persecuted. Being persecuted is part of the Christian psyche. I remember during CCD (Catholic brainwashing class) it was constantly drilled into our heads how persecuted Catholics were in the United States. I think we were even told that Catholics were the only persecuted minority in the United States! The fact that Christians are a majority is lost on these morons. Far far far more people have been persecuted (and killed) for not being Christian than for being Christian.

Note: This is still not as bad as Muslims, who whine, moan, demand, threaten and sometimes burn stuff when there slightest demands aren't met in the countries that they have largely immigrated too. This is despite the fact that almost everyone of their home countries violently persecutes apostates and other non-muslims. Go fuck yourself.

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.
Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.

A 'mock' arrest is the only way a Baptist preacher could get arrested should Christianity actually be made illegal.

All of 'em, just a big bunch of liberal backsliding, scripture cherry picking, intermittent selective Christers.

You recalcitrant heathen! How dare you cast such aspersions over the venerable body of the american baptist church. Get thee underfoot satan, I rebuke thee!
(seriously though, where would all the lapsed catholics have their bake sales if it weren't for the baptist church? Why do you hate brownies so much vorlon?)
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.

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.

We have a local Baptist preacher that has turned his little fundy enclave into a personality cult. It raises my hackles.

And there have been others . . .

Quote:On March 2, three Baptist ministers in Akron, Ohio, arranged for the local police to mock-arrest them in their churches and haul them away in handcuffs for the simple act of preaching their faith. A video was posted on YouTube to drum up buzz for an upcoming revival show. A few atheist blogs object to uniformed police taking part in a church publicity stunt, but far more people who saw the YouTube video (24,082 views), in Ohio and elsewhere, took this media stunt as reality — confirmation of their wildest fears about a government clampdown on Christianity.
Sooo... the fake arrest confirmed their fears?
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

-Stephen Jay Gould
