I knew a woman who emigrated from the Soviet Union with her family when she was a little girl. Her Grandfather would have come with the family but he was a Lutheran minister, just living his own life in his native country. And so the athiests nailed him in a crate to suffocate. He did nothing unusual to bring it on himself.
Atheism is a vacuum, and a vacuum is always filled up with something else. In the case of the former states of the Soviet Union, that was social and criminal problems, and official corruption. It will take them a long time to stabilize their society after the damage that the void of atheism subjected them to.

Usually it is not the people, but the government that wants to arrest us or put us do death.
If you have a secret that could change the lives of millions of people, would you keep it to yourself? Neither can I.
Until you have had the experiences that Christians have had, you could never understand the motivation.
We have been blessed beyond means for accepting Jesus as our Lord and Savior.
We have love, joy, peace, patients, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control just because we have accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior.
That has to be shared.
You are wrong, we did not bring it on ourself, God gets the credit for our evangelism because of what He did for us.

What,so you think that governments have the right to control what everyone believes? Funny how some atheists champion the seperation of church and state when it suits them,but ignore how murderous the atheist communist regimes are.By the way,many people in those countries do want to hear about God.There are 35 million Christians in China,and it's growing every day.

No one should be mistreated because of their religious beliefs, no matter how crazy their ideas. Everyone has the right to complain for being discriminated against. No one can really FORCE an idea on another person. They might be very persuasive and persistent, but nothing can really be FORCED. It is just like African Americans complaining about being discriminated against in this country. Don't you think they have a beef/right to complain?

No one really complains of the fact that they are persecuted. It's more the fact that if a muslim or a budhist went somewhere to try and convert people, they would get an open-armed welcome.
And don't even try to say that muslims and budhists don't go up to people so they'd convert. Because it's happened to me before, believe it or not.

Well, think about it. Obviously a person believes in whatever they believe in. If Christians believes people's souls will be lost if they don't accept God or whatever, then a person might feel obligated to help other people save their souls...and besides, are you saying you wouldn't complain about getting a "beat down?" I mean, you're even complaining about someone else complaining...jeez.

Well, in islamic countries they are taxed for being Christians, its called "Jizya". However, in other countries its much worse, like in lebanon they do identity killing where they find christians and kill them on the spot. In sudan two million christians have been killed by Islamic extremists. Sad that no ones paying attention to these people that face persecution.

Excellent question. The only thing I can come up with is that a lot of right-wing Christians have taken to whining about a LOT of things they perceive as putting them down lately.

I guess it's the same reason people get upset at questions on yahoo answers that are spelled wrong and the punctuation is left out.

They complain about being persecuted all the time. I think it's just for sympathy. They think, for some odd reason, that it will get people to feel sorry for them and thus listen to what they say.
