The Long, Sordid History Of Discrimination Against Christians

The Right to Persecute Witches

The Right to Own Slaves

The Right to Take More Than One Wife

Christians no longer can pray to God to heal their children, but instead face imprisonment for practicing their beliefs regarding spiritual health care.

The right to execute abortionists and bomb abortion clinics has also been denied the most devout followers of Jesus Christ.

And now they are being forced to treat homosexuals like human beings.

It's funny. I consider myself a Christians but apparently I am not because I live by "Treat others as you yourself want to be treated" and "We are all God's childrens and we should love one another the way God loves ALL of us.

Or how about we would all get along better if people simply learned to mind their own business.

and Christians who get the point are among the best people I know.

Sadly, too many little churches have uneducated preachers who preach hellfire and hatred. Many people will obligingly hate anyone they've been given permission to hate.

I wish we could sue these guys for ministerial malpractice but no one has tried that yet.

Although the snakes seem to be taking care of ridding the world of people who want to handle them.
