This is what flies for "persecution of Christians" inside the United States?
The Christian Anti-Defamation Commission is still protesting ESPN: "The CADC is calling all those who oppose Christian bashing and a culture of corporate sponsored blasphemy to be part of a protest outside of ESPN's corporate headquarters in Bristol, Connecticut next Monday, February 11th at noon, across from the McDonald's on West Street. This rally is in response to the gross mishandling of the incident where Dana Jacobson, the co-anchor of ESPN's program, First Take, made the most inflammatory anti-Christian remarks."

Never mind that ESPN apologized for her statements and even suspended her.

2. American Fundamentalist Christians...
...cry 'persecution' whenever they don't get their way. These people are like 'the boy who cried wolf' and fortunately, their bullshit isn't flying. Most Americans are tired of their nonsense.

3. I think they should talk with a Holocaust Survivor or two, or really to those
African refugees they so long to "bring to Jesus" to know what persecution really is.


They have absolutely NO CONCEPT of persecution and what it really means.

If their faith can't take somebody else doing a little name calling, it ain't much faith.

4. Whenever any fundie claims "persecution" of Christians
I direct them to the section of Anne Frank's diary in which she writes about the restrictions that the Nazis imposed on Dutch Jews. Things like not being allowed to practice medicine or law, not being allowed to drive or take public transportation, being allowed to shop only during certain hours and in designated stores, not being allowed to patronize restaurants...

I then ask if any of this has ever happened to them or any Christian they know.

What the mostly self-ordained and unsupervised fundamentalist preachers have done to my religion makes me angry.
