Just as a public service to them so they can get a feel of real persecution. Kind of like the way they've treated others throughout history.

Just use ordinary domestic cats and slather the Christians in tuna.

OK, so you're saying that I deserve to be fed to the lions, and that will teach me what persecution is. Why should you think I need the lesson just as a christian? I was born and raised in the WORLD. And that persecuted me plenty before I was ever an adult, and I'll save you the horrid details. But let me just tell you: They ARE horrid.
For the record, we may have delusions in your opinion, but I hope it also helps you to know that I have never bombed an abortion clinic, beat up a gay person, torched somebody's car or done anything harmful to anyone who believes differently than me, other than having some arguments which I deeply regret. I've never done any of these things that people use to so widely caricaturize christianity in such a hateful, dishonest way. Nor would I EVER put my hands on someone to do them harm. I can say the same thing about every christian I know.
On the other hand, here's how people who don't agree with me have treated me: I've been told I was a fanatic, I've been threatened to be fired, I've been threatened to be beaten, disowned, and also to be killed, I've been told off, shunned and hated all because of what I believe. And these things don't make me righteous, I'm just telling you what's happened. So I'm not living the nightmares of christians in other countries. But I have had someone threaten my life who was inches from my face screaming like a maniac; not kidding. It truly grieves me that people treat me this way. You know what? I used to be an agnostic/atheist myself. What irony! And by the way, when I talk about my christianity, I just talk about it. I don't try to force anybody to convert. I hate that! But it doesn't matter...people are absolutely MALEVOLENT about christianity.
And this is no comparison to what Jesus went through for you and I: blindfolded, stripped naked, whipped to a bloody pulp, so weak that if, in the Garden of Gethsemane, an angel hadn't come and strengthened Him, He would've died right there. Forced to carry His own cross on which He was murdered, placed there where He was asphyxiating because He couldn't get any air into His lungs, and dying finally of a ruptured heart, so that when the Roman centurion pierced Him in the side blood and water poured out showing that the water jacket that protected His heart burst. His heart literally exploded. And some of His very last words were to our Father, who so many people seem to believe hates them. He prayed, "Father, forgive them, for they DO NOT KNOW what they are doing!"
I'm sorry if I've come across heavy handed here, or even self-serving. But I'm just saying, "Here's what it's like on our side of the camp."
Sure, you can go ahead and breed your lions. And you know what? I never WILL hate you...
Peace, brother. Really.
God bless you

This question is barbaric. Look at the answers. Is this civilized? You should all be ashamed of yourselves. What a pathetic group of uncaring ignorant people. I am sad for you.
I will pray for you. Jesus never fails.

Here we go again. Bash the Christians so we can all feel better. By the way, you yourself are persecuting Christians with your desire to kill them.

Thing is, we might get into trouble for using Christians as lion chow.
Let's rethink this one.

Given enough time they will kill each other. But the lions would atleast give us some entertainment.

No. There are some things that even lions won't eat.

Can I borrow your time machine and please post a link to your valid statistical data. You labeling someone as right-wing makes your ignorance glow like a light bulb. Right and left; where is right and wrong?!
