Who's preaching? I'm just asking a question for some feedback.

Yes.
Christianity is the art of oppression.
Christianity has always been imposed upon every society that has tolerated it. It has polluted every culture it touches with its ideological garbage and anti-natural values.
These values are disguised as pleasant "feel good" bits of wisdom but are found to be only pleasant lies. Although Christianity, Judeo-Christianity, can no longer be imposed on people with sword and fire as they once did, they constantly oppress their followers with stories of doom and destruction leaving their followers with only lures of heavenly reward or threats of punishment if they do not conform to their teachings.
Just look around you and you will see hundreds of churches that provide no social benefit. The churches need poor people and prey upon unemployed people. They promote hopelessness via delusions instead of providing real answers that promote healthy thinking. I think we should oppress them instead and remove them from America. Let's ship them all to their beloved homeland in Israel since that is where their loyalties lie. Then the rest of us can begin to undo the damage caused by these reckless idiots.

Of course. Christians are forcing private Muslim schools to teach about Christianity and forbidding them from preaching their own religion publicly. Oops wait, that's Nigeria, and it's the other way around. Nigeria forces private Christian schools to promote Islam and forbids Christians from evangelzing. Sorry, wrong country...
Of course, the US government force Christianity down everyone's throat and forbid them from owning a Koran. Oops, I got it backwards again. I'm thinking of Saudi Arabia.
Sorry, I guess the answer is no. Just give the USA some time and I'm sure they'll impose Biblical law on the country and forbid anyone from converting from Christianity to the religion of their CHOICE.
There is one God and Mohammad was not his prophet.

Now people are people regardless of their religious beliefs. And unfortunately sometimes we as a human beings like to form a certain opinion of someone when we discover their religious beliefs. So basically what we end up doing is lumping all individuals that practice Christianity, Islam, Buddishim, Paganism, Shamanism, etc etc etc., into the group of characteristics in human beings we dislike, such as violence, lying, judgment, enforcing ones belief on non believers, stripping away ones personal freedoms etc etc. People of all religions and people that are not religious are capable of inflicting these horrible actions on others around them. We have all had our experiences with certain individuals who hold strong beliefs, they feel are the only way, and your way of course is the wrong way, what we must try and do is not let that certain individual be the spoke person for their religion of choice, because then we are no better then them.. As for Christianity in this country, enforcing oppressive beliefs... Now I believe there is a large group of certain Christians that are trying to push oppression on Americans. They have large Churches, with alot of income coming in and out, with very large political ties to Washington, and our elected officials. You have to understand, there is a strong Right-Wing Conservative Republican following in this Country, who has been lobbying as hard as they could to enforce their so called political views, even though they are based on their religious beliefs on this Nation. Now lets not get this confused with the idea that all Christians must hold these same beliefs. I can say for myself as a Christian, that I by no means, feel anyone regardless of there religious beliefs have the right to strip ones personal freedom's away, that the constitution has entitled us too. I have a hard time when people like to generalize one small group of Christians political and theological beliefs , upon all followers of Christ..What other Christian believers, and non believers alike, in this country need to do , is not passively stand by , while our rights are eroded away, but to actively get involved in politics, vote and voice your opinion. We are only oppressed if we let ourselves be. It is not to late to change the way things are..

Xtianity isn't too oppressive in and of itself, however it's followers sure do seem to be trying to oppress everyone they perceive to be a non-believer. Anywhere you have xtians you will see them trying to oppress the non-believers, not just in America.

In what way? Church membership is falling, people are overall less active in their faith than in many times in history. Prohibition is ended. We're overrun with pornography, crime, kids murdering kids, etc. Doesn't sound like Christians have done nearly enough to me. Nevertheless, if you want to see oppression you should visit a theocratic country. Government stays out of religion here as much as possible. I mean, you gotta let us vote, don't you? Pleeeez don't take away our right to vote because you fear oppression from us. d:c)

Christians are Arrogant just like all "Religious Dogmatic Ones" they will bring forth a torrent of Biblical Babble to "Prove" to you they are "Right" about God and all other religions are wrong.
It's a shame full grown adults still believe in Fairy Tales ;-(
