I wasn't the one who made the claim that Christians are not being persecuted.

You had to expand too far to make any sort of argument and point to an extremist group in another country. I can do that too.

You're delusional if you believe Christians are being persecuted in AMERICA.

Practically everyone in Syria / Iraq are being persecuted by ISIS lol

Wow, you can't even acknowledge that ISIS is specifically targeting Christians, even crucifying them.

Yet this video shows me the direction our country is going where I see ppl cheering and happy that this pastor is attacked for exercising his freedom of religion.

I think pretty much everyone recognized they do that. His post was about America though, not worldwide persecution. Do try to keep up.

ISIS is targeting infidels and is more of a fear mongering group. They persecute anyone in their way. When they pick your ass up, they aren't going to give a damn what religion you are and that INCLUDES Muslims.

I'm talking about here in America, Jeff. I'm not talking all over the world. Other people knew what I meant. Why didn't you?

Actually, I wasn't really involved in the discussion so I wasn't the one who ground your argument into the dirt. Sure, no one is infallible, but on the subject of religion, the inability to prove much of what is said leaves a reader with only one real avenue - the side with the most rational argument wins. Like it or not, that almost always goes to non-believers unless a more tangible form of religion is being discussed.

Actually, it looked like he was punched because some guy who couldn't keep his pants up decided to act like an idiot. Did you not notice the woman who tried to stop him? My guess is he had one too many beers. The same thing happens at NFL games.

The video is a disgrace. It certainly does not speak to a trend of christian persecution.

Why did the atheist group HAVE to go to court when the christian groups had no problem handing out their support of the mythical?

That is the real travesty here, Jeffbase.

Would you be upset if some wiccan group distributed their fairy tales and your local church could not distribute your version of yours?
