Do they realize there ARE Christians in countries who experience REAL persecution. They are beaten, raped, killed or forced out of the country?

In America Christians can assemble, pray, worship, raise funds, form private organisations etc. Even though America was never founded as a "Christian nation" by our founding fathers. See source

There was a Christian bias in public policy in the past but we now know that in order to ensure freedom of speech, freedom of worship and liberty and justice for all, we cannot force the values of ONE religion or one branch or church of one religion on EVEYRONE else. It is part of perfecting our democracy and living up to the Constitution which is there to protect the minority as well as the majority.

Yet some Christians call this persecution. But is it REALLY persecution or just losing a popularity contest in the public arena?

And in ANY case, why should Christians WANT to be popular? Doesn't their bible say true Christians NEVER are?

I am just kind of curious how these two words fit together. I know all Christians sin. So please don't give that as your answer. But how can people who say they are a Christian say there is nothing wrong with homosexuality or that it is not a sin? The Bible clearly says that homosexuals will not enter the kingdom of Heaven. So how do you get around this?

1 Corinthians 6:9 Or do you not know that unjust ones will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be led astray, neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals,

Dear Blind leading the Blind Christian. READ YOUR BIBLE FOR YOURSELF.
New King James
John 9 ;35 Jesus says, Do you believe in the SON OF GOD?
At the bottom of the page, where it has the corrections... it admits that it changed the word from MAN TO GOD.
Jesus wasn't THE sON OF GOD. He was a fraud set up by man murdered so man be be taught some more fear of Heaven and Hell AND THE BIG BAD DEVIL!! Like the wicked God of the old testement who burned mothers children babies, and slaughtered animals so he could smell a " SWEET AROMA" MMMMMM!!!
Ask your ignorant pastor why he doesnt teach on the scripture of SON OF man and son of God! Or ask why your church doesn't preach on the story of Mary " Supposing him to be the gardener" (ask Jesus " Where did you put the body"? ( Didnt KNOW IT WAS JESUS?
WAIT heres another.... He says cast the net to the right side of the boat.. and when the deciples came ashore that " none of them dared ask who he was ,knowing it was the Lord????
Read for yo

Is that why you would vote against it? Or is it your own will that you are enforcing? Mightn't God want you to worry about yourself before interfering with the free will of others?

Is it your stance that you will always actively oppose recognizing the legal union of two men or two women, because your personal religious dogma tells you that it's wrong?
