It is common to hear claims that Christians are being persecuted in America -- evan as real persecution exists elsewhere in the world. Why do you think they make such assertions? Do they simply not understand what persecution is or are they simply whining?
A forum member writes:
Ever notice how Christians talk as if they are persecuted in the US? Christianity is the largest religion in the world, and easily the largest religion in America. How can they be the persecuted ones?
Just a rant, but it me when I hear Christians talk about being discriminated because of their beliefs while atheists are openly assailed from the president on down by our society.
When Christians complain about being persecuted, they are really complaining about losing something important to them -- and they have been losing something. They have been losing the same thing as whites who are forced to accept blacks as equals and give up their race-based privileged. They have been losing the same thing as men who are forced to accept women as equal and give up their gender-based privileges.
We aren't seeing something novel and bizarre in America; sadly, it's a story that has been repeated far too often.
