blueblood Posted November 17, 2011 Report Posted November 17, 2011 The op in this thread doesn't help things out much. What will be interesting is if some of the hawk posters started a thread on trashing other cultures and the responses of posters responding to it. I'd wager we'd have us a nice double standard over here. My question is why be the person who stirs up the hornets nest when you don't have to?

All kinds of mindless giberish about muslims, iran, etc. Theres actually some clowns on the forum right now arguing that Canada should declare war on Iran :lol: Quote I question things because I am human.

Some of the members here have been talking a lot about anti-Christian bigotry and persecution lately -- including yourself, if I recall... so I figured a lot of people had things they needed to get off their chest.

blueblood Posted November 17, 2011 Report Posted November 17, 2011 No it isnt. Its about both. No, it's quite about Irans govt being loons. How they go about being loons is irrelevant.

Olp1fan took the bait hook line and sinker, I also find it funny how some people get wound up at christmastime banging the political correctness drum. When it comes to people practicing religion, I don't care and it's none of my business. When it comes to individuals being nut bars, well that's a different story. I'm sure you can tell the difference between a nut bar and a religious person.

Shwa Posted November 17, 2011 Report Posted November 17, 2011 This topic is very very topical right now, what with all of the persecution and the bigotry that Christians face each and every day in America! Please! Let us break the silence now! And bring this injustice to light! Please post your examples here! I'd like to start please kimmy. These guys, independent Christian thinkers have been getting a lot of persecution lately from all sectors of society - from politicians to pseudo-commie celebrities: Westboro Baptist Church It seems that every time they go an exercise their freedom of speech, others harrass them and make fun of them, deride them and shout them down. These poor souls try to express their independent ideas in public and they are persecuted and humiliated at every turn, probably moreso because it is Christmas time. It's disgusting! Also, I feel that those Christians who murder abortion doctors are persectuted too. No, wait, I meant prosecuted. Sorry. Quote

Boges Posted November 17, 2011 Report Posted November 17, 2011 Christians are really persecuted in North America. No one is told not to be a Christian. Christians in other parts of the world are treated very harshly and not many people care. One of the consequences of the Arab Spring is that Christians may not be as tolerated in nations that used to tolerate them. Iraq, Egypt and Syria are good examples of these nations. Quote

No one gives a shit about Christians who get killed all the time in the Arab world. Now Palestinians. Quote
Black Dog Posted November 17, 2011 Report Posted November 17, 2011 It's not in a legal sense, that's obvious, it's in the court of public opinion that's the issue. How can that be when the majority of people (around 75% in both Canada and the U.S.) self-identify as Christians? Quote

Yet we have complaints about Christians being bullied in the court of public opinion, maybe it's all right to trash people if they make up more than half the population. Personally I don't think any person should be trashed over their religion. Only their actions.
