It doesn't seem to stop them from claiming Christianity is "under attack."

The world hates Christians as they are not of this world. As our society becomes more and more humanistic, the persecution will become more real. Because the world view of the majority will be more anti-Christian in general. They will not want "Religion" to influence grown up issues. Religion in their mind is anything pertaining to God. Nevermind that Humanism is a religion as well. They have no problem with their Religion influencing public policy. Only the Christian religion.

So we are seeing Homosexuality become a RACE issue. Look for "discrimination" issues. As Christianity is exclusive, meaning only through JESUS Christ one can be reconciled to God, liberalism/universalism looks to attach Biblical Christianity as discriminatory against them.

So YES there will be an increase in persecution against TRUE Christians..

Not your political "Christian" hypocrite or church goer.. Our faith is about to be tested in a very real way it seems, and it will require personal sacrifice.

Our lives? Well are the FEMA camps for real? Are they planning on "re-educating" those that don't agree with their ideology? What happens when Christians refuse to be "re-educated"? Is all of that foolishness?

I guess we will see.

When you have an American President that gives material support to the Muslim Brotherhood who allow the persecution of Christians to take place - it is not a stretch to assume that a president that turns a blind eye to persecution abroad will turn a blind eye to the abuse and persecution of Christians at home. It is just a matter of time.

One would have to be (spiritually) blind to say that Christians anywhere will not be persecuted.

All you see happening around this world is coming to a country near you.

With all the real concerns in this world, why invent silly scenarios to scare yourself?

Islam is intent on taking over the world.
They have already taken over the city of London, and many areas of France are no-go zones for white folk.

They have growing enclaves in the US.
Yes, Christians will be persecuted along with any white American.
Look for a 3-way race war in the near future.

There may be race wars in the future; there may even be a WW-IV. But none of this will be tied to any of the ridiculous Bible prophetic scenarios dreamed up by nutjobs like Hal Lindsey, Tim LaHayne and a whole insane asylum of prophetic writers. Grow up! They're in it only for the money. They don't believe this nonsense anymore than I do. They're very hip to the fact that gullible Christians gobble this stuff up like food addicts scarf food so they write it to make $$$'s.

Wow! No wonder these writers(?) are living in mansions on private Caribbean Islands. Taking into consideration the number of gullible Christians who fall for this stuff, it's amazing they don't buy the islands lock-stock-and barrel.

I know this is sort of restricted airspace, but I just wanted to pop in to make a point about this.

As a staunch Atheist, and member of the world, let me just reassure you that this is not likely any time in the near future. Why? Because other godless atheists like myself will take up arms to protect your right to believe. I disagree with the truth of your belief, but I believe firmly that you should have the right to practice it with minimal interference. If I can protect that right through the ballotbox, great. If the day comes that, "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." you can count me in there as well.

I am not alone. Not by a long shot.

If this kind of nonsense is ever proposed you will see some sights you will not have believed possible. Things like the ACLU and the ACLJ and TRI working together, things like Atheists in foxholes alongside the devout to defend our freedom of religion. It impossible to protect my freedom not to believe without protecting your freedom to believe. Contrary to what many American Christians would like to believe, a majority of us atheists understand this. We are not interested in persecuting you, it is too much work with no benefit. Freedom of religion is just as important to us as it is you.

This is nothing but ridiculous, conservative, paranoid nonsense spread by people who hate the fact that a black, liberal, Democrat is the President now.

For this season in America Christians are being persecuted in the spirit and in the media , and in the government arena , and in business , as the spirit of the false prophet has many lies against God through Jesus Christ in society which Christians have to ignore or accept ............. Christians are not allowed to spread the gospel as easy as they had from the distant past in the History of America , or have the influence which they have had years ago in society , and in the Government ........... Then in business and many cities in America the worker cannot express their view on their belief to others , or have dress in religious clothing in many areas , as libertarians have dominated the government and have listen to them in their lone views .............. the view of intolerance in religion is now considered bigot and unacceptable , still many Christian will make a stand in the sin issue to the bitter end ........... And as the youth turn their backs on the truth of the Living God through Lord Jesus Christ , then the generation that comes from the deniers can be a generation away ...............The persecution of the spirit of antichrist will come from with in the spirit as the abyss of darkness is the place where this menace is in majority today , and waits for the sin of the season to come to be released to the earth .... Even though America has been a place were missionary have come and the gospel has been Preached and spread , Jesus in His prophecies has promised that America will not be destroyed , by the seed of the Christians
