those Christians ~in the USA~ who speak of Christians being persecuted ~in the USA~, they instead start talking about Rome and the far corners of the earth. If I was asking about Rome, I would have, well, asked about Rome! Duh!

I'm sorry I am a Christian in the US, did you ask a question about Rome? Darn I forgot to stay on topic.

Most educated Christians have been oppressed during their education into reading every hardened atheist such as Bertrand Russell and Stephens Hawkins, the first a truly great mathematician but otherwise an idiot savant. He did more twists and turns politically and in his debates. Hawkins is supposed to have a journalist's knowledge of anthropology and most of us know what that's worth. He's claims to be discussing evolution but the entire book is nothing but what a drunk would get thrown out a tavern for, being uninteresting, unknowlegeable and disagreeable, who substitutes repetition and shoe-banging for rational thought.
Do you know any of the anti-Catholic elite who if they are going to judge the Church might have the decency to inform themselves by reading one of the 20th c. great theologicians before condemning?
I would think to stay on subject requires that you know the position you want to attack as well as its supporters and v.v. or else as you imply it is like two ships passing in the night and firing their guns at each other just because it makes them feel good.

I've never really figured that out myself, thought I've seen it happen and know what you mean.
For example, when some people ask about Mormons, some answer the question but then launch off into things that have absolutely nothing to do with the specific question that started that thread to try to show how evil they think Mormons are (and the sad thing is, the "Mormon beliefs" they keep trying to use to prove their point are more often than not things that the Mormon Church has *never* believed in).

nicely, i do no longer ask questions like that so i won't be able to answer that question. you're conscious that, logically, evolution is ridiculously impossible? What i ask your self is, "Why do no longer any of those evolution followers ever clarify how in the international a cellular 'comes to a decision' to do something different than reflect itself wisely?" in certainty, that technique is often mentioned as, "maximum cancers" and it KILLS the host organism. heavily, we've all forms of accepted "this mutated into this, which in turn mutated into this" junk floating around yet has every person ever stated an organism evolving? no longer genetic decision, now, this is not any longer what i'm speaking approximately. helpful, if in straight forward terms tall people get married and have toddlers, populations gets taller. yet clarify to me at what identifiable component cells commence changing on their very very own and species "develop into new species." At what component does the little legless organism's DNA come to a determination, "i think of we are going to strengthen some nubs on the instant. waiting adult adult males? ok. MUTATE!" How approximately, "ask your self twin powers, swap on?? variety of ______ shape of ______" i'm needless to say no longer a scientist. yet i'm asking a severe question. instruct me how this works on a cellular point and instruct me the duplication effects. Then i'm going to be keen to evaluate this "concept" as a doable concept.

You know, strange as it is; what I have heard about persecution has almost always came from "how Christians in other parts of the world are being persecuted", not here!!
However, just watch a few news clips; where teenagers shoot other teenagers just for their beliefs.

I for one think that Christians in the US are being berated for being hypocrites. None of them are being persecuted just getting a tongue lashing from others who don't happen to agree with them, their issues or their agendas. And it goes the other way too. Christians are giving tongue lashings to those who do not agree with them, their issues and their agendas. Problem is Christians think that they are always right. Even when they're wrong.

It's magic!
Quick, look over there!
Here's a quick story: Friend of mine was challenging a young christian, who went back to his preacher for advice and answers. So back and forth my friend went with challenging the christian until one day, the preacher told him that my friend was a "a test from God"
That changed the subject from trying to find answers to just accepting on blind faith

What is it that you want to know about Rome? I can't answer you if you don't ask a plain question.

Two reasons...we are natural born preachers...and the second reason is that history often times is a better example than the present.

Just so you know, I just finished answering you earlier question AND I stayed on point. All you need to do is open your eyes and see the truth and answer to your question right in front of you. Please, you really should watch your tone. If you had a bad day, pray about it before you come here. Thanks and God bless you.
