Persecution defined here is the biblical definition which states that only when a Christian is sharing about Christ in anyway and is spit at, punched, etc. is that considered persecution. If a Christian goes up and punches someone, and they get hit back, then that's not persecution but rather suffering for a stupid decision. So persecution is only when one sufferes for the name of Christ, speaking as a Christian.

True Born again Christians will always be persecuted no matter if they live in any country, let alone in the USA, it is only that in the USA we have more freedom to express our beliefs..I know in my 37 yrs. of serving God, I have had my share of persecutions, But it is worth everyone of them.

American Christians don't have the slightest idea what "persecution" is. You're not being put into camps, you're not being taken from your homes at 3 in the morning, and you're not discriminated against except when you try to force your limited views of reality into law or into tax-supported classrooms. You don't have to wear any identification indicating you're a Christian on your clothing. You complain about "persecution," especially when you try to persecute everyone else and get slapped down by the Constitution.
When you're told to shut up about your gods, maybe it's because you NEVER shut up about them. Maybe it's because a lot of us are tired of hearing about it every day, having you folks knocking on our doors during dinner hour to "spread the Word," tired of the Judeo-Christian culture we have to live in, with the unconstitutional slogan on the money and the added phrase to the Pledge of Allegiance, and tired of hearing every professional athlete in the USA "thanking Jesus" whenever they win.
Persecution? Hogwash. You never had it so good.

Christians get the silver spoon treatment where i came from, thats why I moved to New York, to get away from the vermin that infests the south of the US, unfortunately most christians cant take the hint and they go up north to contaminate an otherwise good place to live. There are places that were not crime ridden until Jesus believers infested the area, and now there are crack dealing christians everywhere, and they belong in the south where that kind of thing is acceptable.

How much persecution can a majority (by a large margin) really be putting up with?
