I am against any genuine prejudice towards any ethnic or religious group but criticism of ANY RELIGION doesn't, in itself, form a prejudice. If it involves hateful propaganda, systematic prejudice and harassment, then it's wrong. Anything else is just commentary.

Its not that people are afraid of Christians.
"Its alive and well, over 100,000 Christians die each year in other counrties for the Gospel sake."
Well, Christianity has done the same thing in the past. Innocent people were tortured if they were accused of witchcraft.
"America is tring to stiffle Christians and wont stop, because of political correctness."
How would you feel if we only celebrated Wiccan holidays, and your children came home with things for the Winter Solstice? I bet you wouldnt like that. America is made up of many religions and it isnt right to only observe holy days for Christians.

Plenty of other people die for their faiths as well, that's not a support of proof in any case. How is America trying to stiffle Christians when the majority ARE Christians? I'm hardly afraid of Christians. Most of my friends are Christians, as is most of my family (with the exception of my father, my husband and my son)... and I get along just fine with them. It is the people who claim that no other religion has a right to display their religion in public while maintaining they have that right (which is against the Constitution itself - ALL are equal... not just the majority). It's like the claim that Christianity is attacked when people don't want it taught in public schools.... those are the same people who don't want other religions taught in public schools - again, it's about Equality among the People, not just Equality for the majority.
Other forms of religion are alive and well too... when a Christian speaks out against it, should we assume that the Christian speaking out is Afraid??????? Try placing yourself in someone else's shoes before assuming things of them.

Sorry, you're going to have to provide figures for your claim that 1/10 of a million Christians drop off the face of the earth each year.
I'm not politically correct. I just don't like fundamentalist sects that impose on other people's lives.

We aren't afraid of christians, we are merely trying to keep a country that was intended to be secular that way. The founding fathers did not want atrocities such as what happened in early New England with the witch hunts to be repeated (the church was the major governing body then).
If I were 'afraid' of christians, I, an atheist, wouldn't have married one.

And your sources for this claim are...?
My inclination is to tell you to stop whining. Try being a Wiccan in the USA, unable to wear your holy symbol in most places, in danger of losing your job or even your children if your religion is discovered. The Christians I know of who've died because they spread the Gospel (and there are some, I will admit) did so because if they were intelligent enough to read the local situation and had the common sense God gave a mushroom, they wouldn't be there prosyletizing in the first place. (What kind of God needs the help of man to spread His word?)

People aren't afraid of Christians ...it's the message that they are afraid of.
Think about it. Jesus is saying sin is wrong and you can't do anything about it but trust in ME. So in a sense we are all wrong! People don't like to be told they are wrong.
We Christians are speaking the gospel as it is recorded by the men of those very days Jesus walked with us.
They don't want to hear it! To them they don't see salvation, they see constraints on their own living standard.
What we speak is a code of ethics according to the truth we have adopted and those who find it too difficult will have none of it.
People aren't afraid of Christians, they are afraid of the Christ.

Link to the news items where 100,000 Christians are killed every year, please.
Link to sources demonstrating that the USA, run by a born-again President with born-again staff, funded by the Christian right and run in business by Christian businessmen, is stifling Christians, please.
Don't forget, baby Jesus gets a little bit of cancer every time you tell a lie.

And all the while I thought Christians were trying to impose their beliefs on everyone else. So heavily involved in Politics and Evangelism.

Why are atheist, and anti-christians so bent on telling christians to shut up?They are suppose to be 100% total PC tolerant of everything (except of course they hate christians and want them to shut up).
