Stop spreading FUD. The narrative that Christians are somehow targeted is misleading at best, false in reality. In the west white Christians have a huge amount of power and influence and giving any of it up feels like persecution to a group that doesn’t know what that means. It also really benefits certain media organizations to perpetuate this narrative. Ted Cruise the other day said that he is a Christian first, American second. Think for a second what would have happened if a Muslim or Jewish Senator said the equivalent thing. In the US we sort of accept that we live in a Christian nation because so many justify their politics by claiming to be “good Christians”. I have yet to meet someone with any amount of social or political influence who truly could be described with that label. It’s justification for claiming moral superiority while working to undermine social minorities. No wonder fewer and fewer people identify as Christians with every generation.

And the argument that you have some exception that proves the rule but you can’t name it is bogus. Either you know deep down that it is false and/or propaganda and nobody will buy it or you are making it up and there is no such example.

Christians being targetted is no longer the exception, it's the rule. The fact that they are wack-job Christians out there is the excuse to attack all Christians.

Google for group, country or religion that kills homosexuals today. Now compare those groups to who you criticize.

If all of them are Christian groups, I stand corrected.

If any of them are non-Christian, will you openly name condemn that group/religion/country/race? I doubt it, you will be voted down to oblivion here.

Edit: Just _mentioning_ that someone else besides Christians are attacking homosexuals gets you a downvote.

This is a topic worthy of open discussion, so why can't it?

LGBTQ are being _killed_ in many places around the world, and will continue until the focus is properly adjusted to the real culprits.

It’s no secret that there are groups that follow any given religion that have committed violence against the LGBTQ community. That does not in any way imply that Christians are being targeted. The former is a known and widely accepted fact. The latter is a fiction perpetuated by Fox News to get uneducated conservative voters to fear the Democratic party. The problem with your argument is also that saying “Muslims are killing gays” is not correct, same as saying “white people are committing mass shootings”. Specific sub-sections of those groups are and you can name them specifically. But the idea that all Muslims or all Christian are ready to kill at a moment’s notice is absurd and you know it.

Personally I believe Christianity is an oppressive religion that needs to go away. It does more evil than good in the world, especially in the US and Easter Europe. That does not preclude me from condemning groups like ISIS or Saudi Arabia’s government for their actions.

> Personally I believe Christianity is an oppressive religion that needs to go away.

Every religion is oppressive if you don't agree with the tenents of the religion.

The fact that you aren't against all religions reveals your true motives.
