No. No one is justified in persecuting anyone simply for their religion or their beliefs. I do not persecute or judge a Jewish person because their beliefs differ from mine. However, if a persons religion consists of illegal activities, they should be 'prosecuted.' I don't believe animal cruelty (or worse) should have to come into play to be practicing a religion.
Everyone has the right to believe what they want. And, a lot of religions have many similarities and celebrate in the same manners. Let's just all enjoy what we believe.

Persecution is never justified, and no one's religion is an inversion of anyone elses. That's not how religion works.

Most religions are based on some sort of inversion of another. Look at the old testament, and you'll see the names of Babylonian Gods being demonized. This is because Babylon was big and powerful at the time, and Israel was small. Even stories like Ishtar and the Ark, were taken and turned into Noah and the Ark.

One cannot genuinely justify persecution.

Nothing is ever justified by persecution.

No, never. That is where the Golden Rule comes in as well as other Bible principles..Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. That includes being polite and respectful, loving your neighbor as yourself, etc.

No. They may be severly misguided, and even hateful themselves, but they still deserve respect as do all humans.
Jesus told us to love our enemies.

I am a Christian. I think you have every RIGHT to worship as you see fit.
