A Little Christian Persecution

[Jenny A]

Persecution by Christians I mean.  I get tired of hearing about Christians being persecuted in the United State where they are in the majority.  I get even tireder when I hear what it is that they consider persecution.  So I thought I post a few examples of real Christian persecution:

In the  Swainsboro Primary School in Georgia teachers not only held prayers in school, the effectively punished the children of atheist parents by sending the children out into the hall during prayers.  Some teachers even pulled the atheist children aside during lunch to attempt to convert them. http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyath...ve-in-god/

A second grad boy in Fort Wayne Community Schools, Indiana, was asked by a female classmate where he went to church.  He responded that he did not go to church because he did not believe in god.  She said that his answer hurt her feelings.  The playground supervisor told him she was very concerned about what he had done and the she would contact his mother.  She did not contact his mother, instead she made the boy sit by himself during lunch for having offended other students. http://www.journalgazette.net/news/local...er-7378928

Not exactly feeding atheists to the lions, but then I don't see any atheist teachers making pariahs of Christian children either.

I shall make you even more tired by being a grammar Nazi.

tireder is not a word.
More tired is correct.

But otherwise, yes, I agree with you. Fuck theists who think they are being persecuted when they know nothing of the concept.

She said his answer hurt her feelings? Apparently the school's science teachers aren't teaching them the Theory of Cause and Effect. If she plays with fire, she'll burn her fingers. If she asks a nonbeliever why he doesn't believe in God, she'll have her ideologies contradicted.

What they consider to be persecution is an insult to people being actually persecuted, too. Hell, the OTHER christians in muslim countries could fucking use the sort of persecution the US christers face -_-

That's because you haven't searched for those, Christian children have been told a several schools they are not allowed to say a blessing before they eat, seems a shame when teachers deter thankfulness.

Oh, and GC? If you do give the citation that I think you're going to give, if you give a citation at all, then please know beforehand that I know the full story and will absolutely post it when you attempt to pass off the self serving half truth right wing christian groups have been spinning since it "happened." I've done it before, and I absolutely will do it again the moment you attempt to lie.

I've seen it on the news over the last few years, so I can't give you anything other that that, sorry.
