I think you are getting Catholicism mixed up with Christianity. They are not the same thing. Catholics have tortured many people into converting to their faith. Christians do not do that. You need to add some examples/better arguments before you will get a good answer.

They can't claim persecution in America. That's one of the silliest claims they have right now.
And as far as Catholics persecuting others, many other Christian denominations did that as well. The Protestants were the biggest persecutors in England during the Witch Craze, which lasted longer than the Inquisition did. King James was once quoted saying "I like the way burning Baptists smell". (paraphrased). The Inquisition was not carried out by Catholics alone and it was more about war between denominations, using the "witch" illusion.

I don't agree with you that Christians love to claim that they are being persecuted or they are doing the persecution. They are very buss converting people of other faiths to Christianity to save theit souls. If there is only one religion and that is- CHRISTIANITY then there won't be any conflict between religious. Do you have a problem with that?

In other countries, Christians are still persecuted for their beliefs. But as far as my country goes, Christians want to go "We're being persecuted like Jesus!" When all that's really happening is people are telling them to shut up and be less annoying.

Don't over-generalize. Some Christians do & some do not.
Don't be a hater like naoize.

not all christians persecute. it is just those that are just acting or are caught up in teh things of the world. in truth, sometimes they want to tell themselves that God has something else besides eternal life waiting for them in heaven and that makes them feel good. and hey, everybody does it sometime or another, were human, we want to be number one and if it causes everybody else to fall, then well do it, unless we have Jesus.

amazing isn't it. For thousands of years they have been a destructive force. murders in their so called gods name, pillaging,. really quite unbelievable atrocities committed. Yet they claim to have persecuted no one. sigh....

Are you referring to strife between sects of Christianity?
