Anybody have access to an arena and a few hungry lions?

Today's American Christians claim that they are being persecuted simply by having to tolerate other ideas and people with different beliefs. They scream against Muslim Sharia Law while in the same breath they complain about not being able to place the Ten Commandments in courthouses. They like to claim that they are being persecuted, I say we remind them what persecution looks like. After all, it has been a few hundred years and they may have forgotten what it looks like.




Note: I'm not bashing you if you happen to believe in a god or are christian or any other type of religion. I am bashing those who think that having to tolerate other people's existence is some form of christian persecution.

Phallic statues where quite common in Rome as they worshiped fertility goddesses to promote good harvests.

American Christisns are not persecuted. There are plenty of Chistians, people of other faiths, and people with no faith that are truly persecuted in this world. Americans are not.

Poor "christians", always the victim. Christians today have no idea what they're talking about.
