Christian Persecution
October 31, 2015 at 12:29 pm
Question to Christians, what exactly do you think is Christian Persecution and how isn't there an equivalent version of it produced by Christians towards other religions?

So no Christians have replied.
So we can assume that either Christians are not oppressed, are extremely oppressive or a mixture of both, given how much Christians whine about Persecution?
If any Christians want to refute that, go ahead.
Just don't be afraid to be pointed to oppression your religion does.

I'm in favor of it. Why is there no poll where I can note my position?

Christian Oppression is when Christians aren't allowed to force their religion on other people. They just want to be able to make laws based on their 2000 year old book that affect other people's lives, they want to be able to deny people rights based on that same book, and they want to parade their religion around by putting up monuments to ten of their rules.

Now it might sound like Christian Oppression is Christians oppressing other people. Which it is, but it's also totally them being oppressed. I mean there's people in this country who don't even believe in god! Can you imagine?

Claims of persecution are about the only thing they can do now. It's not like they can just round up the undesirables and kill them like they used to, though there are some who wish they could. They can't win in proper debates, and not for lack of trying. We've had to drag them, kicking and screaming, into the modern world fpr so long. We jst have to keep educating the youth, and let the elderly living in the past die off so we can move into the future.

You really expect a reply?

You got at least one by the late and unlamented Randy Carson, who presented an opinion piece where some dork rambled about the radical left running the USA. So, in the eyes of christian radicals, settling for less than a christian Saudi Arabia or Iran, is christian persecution.

I am persecuted because I can't make other people obey my perceived religious laws. Wahhhh!
