The bitter tears of the American Christian supermajority

We know you are a jerk off, Drippy. You don't have to tell us.

Far far far more people have been persecuted (and killed) for not being Christian than for being Christian.

Really?

Or at least the right type of xtian.

You're getting lazy in your old age, Drippy dearest. I thought for sure there would be something good at the end of the rainbow, but alas yet another pure disappointment. Do you then acknowledge the articles' accuracy and have nothing to say of your brethren's cowardly acts?

Far far far more people have been persecuted (and killed) for not being Christian than for being Christian.

Really?

It seems so. The Holocaust and the Crusades and Inquisition come to mind. Stalin was awful to Christians, but largely ignored the ones who weren't political threats, so he wasn't actually killing them for being Christians, but for being in the way of him having total control.

Christians fare poorly in some Islamic states, and it's a tragedy, but I don't think they've caught up yet, body-count-wise. Which doesn't diminish the tragedy at all.

It's good to see that you don't have anything cogent or meaningful today, and so have yet again resorted to snide, childish and vague mockery.

Come back when you have an actual argument. Is your position seriously that christians in America actually are persecuted worse than ones overseas, or is this another one of those things where you haven't actually read the article or thought about this at all, but you just gotta disagree with dem evil atheists?

I'll give Drich the benefit of the doubt and agree with him: yes, Drich, your fellow believers are a bunch of pussified jack-offs. It's good to agree with you for a change.

Christians are being persecuted? I don't have any doubts that Christians living in theocratic nations are persecuted as much as atheists, but to say they are persecuted in a first world civilized western country is just an irrational claim. A guy at my university did a thesis to get a masters on Law History, it was about the discrimination of Christians in Europe and the US, and while he made some points I agreed with, most of his work was about criticizing new atheism and atheists, the only reason he passed is because the director of the Law History master section is a former professor of mine who is also a Christian who hates atheists and gays, an Opus Dei member.

By persecution american Christians probably mean 'people advocating freedom from a theocratic form of government. Christians are just angry everyone is starting to let go old myths in favour of reason, enlightenment and critical thinking (This doesn't necessarily mean that everyone becomes an atheist, but at least most young people are agnostics), and so they start with these desperate unfounded accusations.

On a personal note, they can go shove the holy spirit up their asses, everytime there is a conflict between human rights and religion, human rights should prevail, no questions asked.
