Thread Name: BS: Christian Persecution
Subject: RE: BS: Christian Persecution
Christians are persecuted in foreign lands, Africa, Arab countries, Pakistan and other places but Muslims are persecuted in the United States, India and Israel. Mosques have been burnt. The problem is not just Christian persecution but ignoring the US First Amendment and the right to believe whatever you want if it doesn't harm others.

To set up a single instance of religious persecution is a red-herring to bait other religions that you don't like.

As an American, I have learned to tolerate many religions that I don't accept or particularly respect but I do respect the right of anyone to believe anything they want as long as it doesn't harm anyone.

Allowing guns into Christian worship services is worse than crying "fire" in a crowded theater, a complete misreading and distortion of the Second Amendment, as well as being hypocritical and hypoChristianical.

How many guns did Jesus own, for example?

Another question, who on this site is an authority on the Quran and it's meanings?
There seems to be a lot of speculation here that if applied to the Bible, would make the latter document offensive.

Religion has always been an excuse for hatred by some, no matter which one cited.

When violence becomes the modus operandi for religious expression, hypocrisy and corruption prevail, to whit, Constantine, Saladin, Hitler, John Bull, Savonarola, the KKK,
and all the churches that have practiced it.

Why is it that war and religion are most often together?
