So 10 or so different posters respond and only one(Cinemachinery) has show an inkling of compassion. Rest of you need to take a hard look at yourselves, ya'll a disgrace. Religious people of all stripes bring it on themselves, because of their attitudes. You think you are right and persecuted, as do Muslims, Calathumpians etc etc etc if they happen to be in a minority due to their strict and unwavering dictates, and often their confrontational prosthelytising. Secular humanists and atheist liberal socialists got over that shit a while ago and want what is best for individuals and humanity as a whole. Religion is tribalism gone wrong. There are some extremely stupid and vulgar people in this world but you my dear take the whole damn bakery.

The one you hissed "Cuckmachinery" at? Does a banana have a brain and organs too? Yet it shares roughly the same % of DNA to us as a Fruit Fly. The evidence discredits itself.

But "concern" for your fellow Christians is exactly what you conspicuously did NOT display. When you posted that video, the only thing that you expressed was TRIUMPHALISM: "Christians are getting targeted from all angles and it's only going to get worse...One thing these haters don't realise is that they're actually fulfilling Bible prophecy and thus inadvertently affirming the legitimacy of Christianity."
Just like I told you earlier: Your video might serve as a plea for more tolerance. But that doesn't interest you. You'd rather offer it as proof that the Christian religion is the "true" one.

From Muslims to Hindus, from Buddhists to Atheists. Christians are getting targeted from all angles and it's only going to get worse. But as I've said previously those groups all share a common denominator...and that is the same ANTICHRIST SPIRIT. One thing these haters don't realise is that they're actually fulfilling Bible prophecy and thus inadvertently affirming the legitimacy of Christianity. ""Then you will be arrested, persecuted, and killed. You will be hated all over the world because you are my followers"Matthew 24:9 Then as a believer of this nonsense, you of all people should HOPE that we continue “persecuting you” since that is a fulfillment of what you believe to be god’s plan in the first place. So what are you bitching about? Why aren’t you celebrating this “fulfillment” instead? God warning us about something ahead of time doesn't mean it's God's plan, dummy.

So what are you bitching about? Why aren’t you celebrating this “fulfillment” instead? As I said above, he wants it both ways. This is the ridiculousness and contradiction that is fundamentalist Christianity in the first place. They complain about, and are offended by, and are angry with all of us heathens supposedly persecuting, even though it’s exactly what the bible requires and what Jesus expects of any Christian. Almost as though they are trying to get everyone to do the OPPOSITE aid what their religion demands. Which enough evidence on its own about just how brain dead and morally regarded all fundamentalist Christians are. They can’t even think their way through the logic of their position and just how self contradictory it is.

Um actually, the fact that Jesus specifically says that Christians are blessed when they are persecuted, and that scripture must be fulfilled means that it IS part of god’s plan (according to fundamentalist Christian theology) DUMMY. What else could it possibly mean? And if you’d like to say that there are things that go on that are NOT part of God’s plan, I’d LOVE you to take that position so I can show you how that makes your religion look even MORE retarded and how your belief system really falls apart. So by all means, do try to argue that what’s written in scripture is NOT part of God’s plan (if you dare). But I don’t think even you are that foolish!

The concern I felt after watching the video is what prompted me to post it here in the first place. In hindsight I probably should have known better than to share it on a board rife with militant atheists and deranged leftist weirdos, who'd probably be more empathetic towards Muslim jihadists than anything remotely Christian.

I'm sure there is some genuine persecution (mostly in Muslim nations). Western societies not catering to Christianity anymore doesn't count as "persecution" though if that's what the video is referring to Did you watch the video? I didn't need to because I've heard pretty much all the "We're being persecuted!" Christian arguments, but I watched it anyways, pretty much what I predicted. Genuine persecution in the Middle East and other third world regions, Christians getting upset about not getting special priveleges in western society. Making someone bake a cake and not allowing teacher led prayer in school is hardly "persecution" and undermines actual Christian persecution. Laws requiring "proper gender pronouns" are rather stupid, I'll admit that, but that doesn't specifically target Christians. Your OP might have been more accurate if you said "Third World Christian Persecution".

sublime92That's not entirely true. In America alone we've seen Christian businesses go bankrupt and put out of business by inane lawsuits. Some have even been forced to shut down due to death threats. The video goes over all this and more.

They brought it on themselves with their inviolate hypocrisy and bigotry.

Was thinking more of the likes of you than them. Then forgive me. So you've somehow stupidly managed to come to the conclusion that I enjoy Christians being persecuted merely for having concern for my fellow Christians and bringing this very serious issue to the attention of the board? Not just that, no. But mostly that. Yes, so you've said. Oh I dunno, I think it compares quite favourably with using the suffering of a huge group of people just to have a whine at us. Awww, it's cute that you think that you get to tell me what to post. But you don't.

Ding ding ding ding, we have a winner. Good rule of thumb - western christians who whine about persecution don't actually care about persecution. They care about preserving their unearned privilege, or boasting.

The christian definition of persecution : "They won't let me pick on the people I hate!" And you call me a tool?

lowtacks86 You watched the video but you may need to brush up on your comprehension a little bit. Bible studies are being closed down in California. A bakery in Northern Ireland was convicted in court for refusing to make a gay wedding cake. The owners of a bakery in Oregon lost their business and were fined $135k for the same reason. In the U.K. there are reports of Christian couples being banned from fostering children due to their beliefs. Christian cafe owners are being banned by police of displaying bible verses inside their own premises. Teachers and nurses have been fired for praying for sick pupils. Doctors have lost their jobs for talking about their faith with patience. Certain states are now deeming Christianity "extremist". Christian preachers are being intimidated and jailed by police for exercising their freedom of speech in public. This level of persecution is increasing all over the west. China is not a third world country. Neither was the old Soviet Union where Christians suffered horrifically for years. It's debatable whether North Korea could genuinely be regarded as third-world. Also as has already been pointed out persecution isn't restricted to killing alone. So West's oppression of Christians stands as various examples were provided.

LOL Okay then. If that makes you feel better about yourself then you go with that.
