PLEASE........ Show us how the christian church is persecuted today?

Answer 1

I wanted to respond to one of the answerers:

No prayer in public schools. Not being allowed to force ones religion on everyone else is NOT being persecuted.

There is a series of holidays which makes up the "holiday season" -- this isn't a new PC expression, it's been around forever, and simply acknowledges that from Thanksgiving through New Year, there are a bunch of holidays and people tend to party a lot.

(I loved it a couple of years ago when Fox News Bill Reilly's site was selling "Holiday ornaments" for people's "Holiday trees" when he's one of the big boosters of the bogus "War on Christmas". The left blogosphere got wind of it, and they had to edit the word Christmas back in to stop looking like complete idjits. LOL.)

Not being able to promote hate speech is also not persecution.

And on through you list (which I can't remember now).

The point is, in this country, no one is preventing Christians from worshiping their Sky Bully, or arresting Christians, or in any way persecuting them.

I wonder how many of those who go on and on about the 10 Commandments have any idea what they say?

Do these people watch sports on the Sabbath, for instance, or do they simply ignore the Commandments they don't like?

Edit for afterthought: The idea that the MINORITY of non-Christians will impose Bible burning on the majority (it's Christians, not atheists, that believe in burning books, BTW) is, of course, completely absurd.

But then the absurdity of a belief has never stopped many Christians from believing it anyway, has it?

Answer 2

I think you should have qualified this question by adding "in the United States." We have no control over what happens to people in other countries. But it seems to me that in this country (U.S.), when Christians say they are persecuted, what they really mean is not having everything their own way every time. My kids went to a public school where, during the holiday season, they did pictures of Santa and all that, but no mention was ever made of Hanukah. So a few Jewish parents went to the school board and complained and so they added stuff about Hanukah. So then some of the Christian parents complained about that! During the holiday season, some stores will say "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas" because.....get this!.....everyone is not Christian. And Christians complained that they were being persecuted because some stranger at a store didn't say "Merry Christmas." How uptight can you get?

Answer 3

Of direction they have self belief persecuted. some persons disagree with them. My father truly instructed me that faith hasn't gained a unmarried combat because of fact 1950 in this u . s . a .. have self belief approximately that. I did, and that i spotted that this thought of his is an extra factor of the mentality that motives some Christians to argue that Catholics are actually not Christians. (have self belief approximately that one too.) Christians think persecuted once you talk approximately that all of them have such slender, inflexible ideals. If every person ever disagrees on a unmarried thought, that guy or female isn't a "relatively" believer. Christianity is a protection stress of one thousand million individuals that each and one and all plan on making an attempt to transform the finished different Christians to the "real faith." they only cooperate while they comprehend a extra physically powerful danger: technology, Islam, Judaism, Communists, atheism, etc. If now not for those companies Lutherans and Methodist may well be killing each and every distinctive in the streets.

Answer 4

Pastors in India are being killed. Legislators are trying to pass laws that would make it illegal for pastors to speak against certain sins. It is already illegal for Canadian pastors to preach against homosexuality.

Answer 5

What planet are you on? Open your eyes and look around the world. Here's a few countries just for starters, China, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Pakistan, Iran.
Do you know there is not a single Catholic church in Afganistan, they are totally banned by the present, supposedly moderate, Islamic government. Catholics can only attend religious services in the refuge of the Italian Embassy.

Not to mention the so-called liberal secular societies of the Western nations, where all discrimination is supposedly outlawed, except that against Christians.

Answer 6

The irony of the question is just precious...

-No prayer in public schools.
-Happy Holidays.
-Holiday tree.
-The ten commandments not allowed to be displayed at a courthouse.
-My son wearing a t-shirt to school with a scripture verse and being told by another student that his t-shirt was offensive.

In this country is very subtle, but it's here. And that's how it all starts until it becomes like other countries and we're told to burn our Bibles.

Answer to answers:
Is not about forcing other people to pray. It's about my child's right to do so.

A major retailer PROHIBITED their workers from saying Merry Christmas.

John 3:16 on the t-shirt. My son was just accused of hate speech by someone who didn't even know what the shirt said. Oh, that should also be on my list above: Quoting Bible verses = hate speech.

Sabbath? New Testament. I know, I know, you don't get it.

Answer 7

Have u read the news today? They just found 1 of those South Koreans in Afghanistan w/ 10 bullet holes in him. That's just the latest example.

Answer 8

rofl. They get called names and they think that its persecution yet somehow them telling us that we're going to hell is ok. Oy.

Isn't it amusing to see them point out third world countries where Christianity isn't the majority rule and talk about how persecuted they are in North America?

Contradictory much?

Yes, how terrible, they suffer such horrible things in the first world where they are forced to be treated just like everyone else. How horrible that equality should be the first worlds focus. They're so persecuted.

The answer is, they aren't persecuted in any way in any place where Christianity is the majority. They just like to claim they are. Its the persecution complex. The "poor little me" routine.

Answer 9

Do you read what's posted here on a daily basis?
There are some 23 Koreans over in Afghanistan right now who would love to tell you, if the taliban would only let them go.
