Why is it that if I prayed in the public square in the name of Allah, or Buddah, or the Virgin of Guatelupe, no one bats an eye... But if I were to mention Christ Jesus in my prayer, I get slammed and riots ensue?

You're so right. I was reading a work email (tax payers dollars at work!!) and they were suggesting ways to de-stress. They mentioned yoga, meditation, etc. but never mentioned nor would they ever say "prayer." The networks do not allow you to say "JESUS" unless it is as a swear. The bible says blessed are those who are persecuted for my Name Sake (words of Jesus) it also talks about the salvation and reward for those who are chastised for using HIS name.
People cannot handle, fear, reverence and respect the TRUTH. I just look forward to that day when every knee bows and every tongue confesses His sweet name, don't you?

Mark 13:13 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:
The bible says homosexuality is an abomination.
Today we have homosexuals standing where they ought not, behind the pulpit preaching. This was unheard of just 10 years ago. Prophesy is being fulfilled today.

I guess that's the way it's suppose to be for us Christians. I know where I use to work they could swear, use the Lords name in vane, put up very offensive pictures about our Lord & that was OK. But when I would have my bible out where anyone could see it I was asked to put it away not to offend anyone. Remember how much Jesus was persecuted for teaching in the streets, so who are we to think we wont be persecuted. I welcome it, it means at least they are listening. BRING IT ON !!!!

Because unlike Buddhists, Christians don't just say a prayer to themselves, they push it on others. Wait let me kindly rephrase. A large majority of Christians push their religion on others and deliberating put down other religions. This has been going on for so long, people as a whole who are not Christian are really sick of it. It comes with the issues that again not all, but many Christians try to impose on others such as prayer in school for example. When faced with this type of harassment, people (including myself) attack Christian beliefs vigorously. The fact that Christianity has so many easy discrepancies in it's beliefs, makes it very easy to point out and causes a large number of Christian's to become aggressive and emotional over something that for the most part their group caused.

Because satan already has those people Blinded & in his hands, But he does not have Jesus in his hands, & satan knows that it was Jesus that died for our sins, & not islam, Budda, nor GUATELUPE. So the name of Jesus is the redemptive name of all mankind/womankind to be saved.

the Bible says that "they will hate you because they hated me (Jesus) first". you are hated for his name sake.
if nothing else, this should prove that Jesus is real.. no one is going to throw a fit over something imaginary and certainly not care one way or the other.. it's because he is the one and only son of God.

They hated our Father in Heaven why would you think they would not hate us.
Over 150,000 Christians die each year for their faith, not died, die. Last year and the years before because they simply believed in Christ.
I don't mind a few attacks for my faith, they can hate all they won't , we have to show them we care and pray for their souls.
Continue to pray and show your love to those who hate you, Christ died for them also.
