It seems like we are being obliterated but, we have the last laugh. (if you can say that anyone's destruction is laughable. It is more like sad)

If you think that this is going on in the US, then yes, it is laughable. Christians elsewhere in the world truly are being persecuted. But you guys are far from being obliterated.

wow, your questions speak volumes of your mindset and none of it is good.
Here's a fun history tidbit:
The Colosseum has long been regarded as having been the scene of numerous martyrdoms of early Christians. However, this belief appears to have arisen only around the 16th century. Roman and early medieval accounts refer to Christians being martyred in various vaguely described locations in Rome (in the amphitheatre, in the arena etc) but without specifying which; there were, in fact, numerous stadia, amphitheatres and circuses in Rome. Saint Telemachus, for instance, is often said to have died in the Colosseum, but Theodoret's account of his death merely states that it happened "in the stadium" (eis to stadio). Similarly, the death of Saint Ignatius of Antioch is recorded as having been in "the arena", without specifying which arena.

Are you serious? I definitely have not heard of a Christian actually being tortured or killed for their religious beliefs. (in America)
Guess you're imaginary persecution is a myth just like the rest of those stories.

I think you are confused Christians aren't the innocent victims anymore, they're the lions.

I'm not certain how an 80% majority (around that in America at least) can claim to be a persecuted minority.

Yes, you poor thing. People not believing your story book is just like being eaten alive by lions. How do you deal with it? Your persecution complex that is...

Oh, please. I don't consider an 80% majority, trying to force their religious views into law is like having to fight a lion for your life. Must be so tough for you! Not having everyone believe in your fairy tale friend.
