Its a shame your knowledge is so limited. So you will understand why its so funny when you act snarky over that lack of knowledge.
 
11 Christians Killed Every Day for Their Faith

Last year, Christians were persecuted more than ever before in the modern era — and this year is expected to be worse: "4,136 Christians were killed for faith-related reasons," according to Open Doors USA in its recently published World Watch List 2019 (WWL) of the top 50 nations where Christians are persecuted. "On average, that's 11 Christians killed every day for their faith." Additionally, "2,625 Christians were detained without trial, arrested, sentenced and imprisoned" in 2018, and "1,266 churches or Christian buildings were attacked."

Whereas 215 million Christians faced persecution in 2018, 245 million will suffer in 2019, according to Open Doors — a 14% increase, that represents 30 million more people abused for their faith. This means that "1 in 9 Christians experience high levels of persecution worldwide" (note: all quotations in this article are from the WWL 2019).

Be fair Jim. How many How many Jews? How many Shiites? How many Kurds?  How many...?

and how many were in America jimbo?    Who was the last Christian in America that was persecuted and killed for their faith jim?

How many Jews? How many Shiites? How many Kurds?  How many...?
 
You know how to Google. Get back with us on that.

and how many were in America jimbo? 
 
You implied "Christians" are not persecuted. Not Americans.  American Christians are persecuted in different ways in the U.S..  Yours is just one of those.. But that not to say what happens elsewhere won't come here one day.   Nor can you say it won't.  You're already a persecutor anyways.. You'll fit right in.

 

jim is incapable of being fair.

his indignation isn't from any core belief.  based exclusively on his bigoted posts here, jim does not adhere to any true "Christian" beliefs.  he's just using "Christianity" for a political tool.

 Open Doors USA is just another bible thumping "charity" with a narrow agenda.  the more they create hysteria, the money money they put in their pockets.

Actually yes, wmd.  Try doing some research or quit lying.

here's a screenshot for you jim -
 
OK, So, you got your answer in any case... Whether in the U.S. or elsewhere.  And you are part of it..

Such dishonesty coming from the right. When they aren't spewing lies outright, they lie by omission.

wimp-BS.......  Why do you hate Christians?

Christians founded America and made it the best Country in the entire World.

If you hate Christians, you hate America!!!

I don't expect any sympathy from promoters of atheism and critics of religion, whatsoever.

Such dishonesty coming from wmd.

Such dishonesty coming from the right. When they aren't spewing lies outright, they lie by omission.
 
"You can always tell what the Left is like - by what they try to accuse the Right of."

What was the purpose of the subject post anyway?  Just a show of hatred for Christians?  As if there isn't enough hatred in the world right now anyway.  Nobody on here, Christian or otherwise, is "whining" about being persecuted.  If someone hates you for the religion you practice, consider the source.

Democrats delight in the abuse of Christians!

Every one of you right wingers are wrong. There is no hatred of Christians on my part. Pointing out hypocrisy is not hatred. Why is that so hard to understand? The constitution allows freedom of religion. Not freedom to practice only Christianity, or Judaism, or Islam, etc...

The lady doth protest too much, methinks!
(Shakespeare's Hamlet)

All you do is point out your own bigotry, Bs!

I'm not bigoted at all. I am a constitutionalist, and the constitution proclaims we have freedom of religion in this country. I know people of many faiths, and some with no religious leanings. Many of them I consider friends, regardless of their religious beliefs. I feel the same way about political beliefs. I am not bigoted toward any of you. In fact, if you lived next door, we would probably get together on weekends over beers and bbq.

It is freedom of religion not freedom from religion!

Amendment 1
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or
of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition
the Government for a redress of grievances.

The point of the op was to show rwf claim of victimhood is full of shit.

You are NOT being persecuted in usa. You ARE the persecuters in usa. YOU are the assholes here, not the victims. Whining about limits to your assholeness.

 Tell that to Christians being sued into near bankruptcy because they refuse to go against their religion!

The Colorado Christian Baker for example!

Democrats are insisting he alter his beliefs or be bankrupted!

How is living a Christian life persecuting anyone?

Nobody told them to change their beliefs. They were sued for discrimination. And ONE lawsuit is not persecution. Every group of people face a few lawsuits. Stop being so whiny.

No they were sued for their beliefs as they discriminated against no one!

The Supreme Court said so!

No, they are just being persecuted for holding them.


They did not refuse service to them.  All they did was refuse to participate in or glorify their ceremony which goes against their beliefs.

So whose whining about being persecuted here?  I'll ask again. 

Nobody asked them to participate nor glorify any ceremony.


Emily, did you not notice the 2 whiny posts directly above yours?

Actually they did demand they participate and endorse gay marriage!

Why do you hate gay, atheist and leftist bakers?

Why do you want to deny them business?

Liar. They asked for a cake, nothing more.

No they asked for a custom cake celebrating gay marriage and the gay lifestyle!

Why do you hate gay, atheist and leftist bakers?

Why do you want to deny them business?

Custom cake is still just a cake. Not a war. Certainly not being denied housing, jobs, or medical care. You know, actual persecution that does still happen in good ole usa, big baby.

No right for a business to discriminate. Want to argue for exemption for creative service, fine. Might have a case. But enough bs persecution talk from the biggest persecutors in the nation.

A custom cake forcing them to celebrate sin!

They were actually trying to force them to change their religious beliefs!

Why do you hate gay, atheist and leftist bakers?

Why do you want to deny them business?
