You had a reason and a purpose for posting that link. What was it. Honestly, what was it, as a Christian, what was your real reason?
To show the persecution of Christians. Might not be blatant right now (although some of it is) but it will be in the future for sure if things keep going as they are.

You, and the author of the article have no idea what persecution is. Christianity is the majority religion. Pretty hard to persecute the majority.

You. Have. No. Idea. What. Persecution. Is.

Quit pretending that Christians are being persecuted because they are finally being challenged when they insist on not following the rule of law and the Constitution. You. Have. No. Idea. What. Persecution. Is.

Just stop with this type of link. Worry about those who ARE persecuted. You know, like LGBQ citizens, like those of different ethnic or racial origins, and like those who have no belief, or belief that is different from the majority. Just stop.

You are a poster child for illustrating the weakness and shallowness of fundie "faith."

Do carry on!

Hey that's a good one - I'm gonna post that in the Quote of the day thread. Weeeee!
The transubstantiation thing makes no sense to me either. I think the Catholics are screwing with us there.

We have a Quote of the Day thread?
