Christians, why do you always claim you're being persecuted?

As if Yahoo Answers wasn't evidence enough.

@Alien Jesus First of all, saying someone is going to Hell is not persecution. Thats just a statement of belief. So lets get our terms right. Second, I dont deny that in many instances Christians have been the oppressors(Crusades, Inquisitions, burning of witches, and all the stuff Atheists love to memorize about Christians).

Also, ive never persecuted someone, so who the hell are you to say "Why do you persecute others"?You don't know my stance on different issues, so you have no right to make that statement. Third, Christians are persecuted world wide dummy. Look for instance in Egypt with the Coptic Church subject to attacks constantly, in Pakistan where they are demanding the death penalty of a Christian woman who said something that sounds offensive against Muhammad(and the Pope is begging for clemency), or the recent terrorist bombings against the Catholic Church in Nigeria

According to statistics done by the World Evangelical Alliance, over 200 million Christians world wide today are denied their fundamental rights just because of their faith. And historically in the modern world Christians have been persecuted as well. In state atheist regimes like the Soviet Union, millions of Orthodox laymen, nuns and priest were put up on show trials and either had their brains blown out, or were transferred to the gulags of Russia. Same thing in Mao's China, and Pol Pots Cambodia.

So get your head out of your asss. Christians have been, and still are persecuted world. The fact show this whether you wanna personally accept this or not

you dont get it do you. It is homosexuals with their whining and disobedience to the Word of the Lord God who persecute us christians, as we know that the wrath of God rests on those who refuse to repent and accept christ as their Lord and saviour. So by whining about equal rights, they have mocked the marriage laws which is suppose to be between a man and woman only. If we do not tell them the truth, then we are condoning their disobedience to the Lord God, and we are also guilty by not exhorting them to turn away from the evil desires of lust of the flesh. We are there to help them see the Light, they are here to persecute christians and children, how can children obey the commandment Honour thy father and mother, when two men cannot reproduce or one be a mother? makes for a chaotic society

rather, at an identical time as Christians are no longer being brazenly persecuted interior the U. S., hundreds of Christians lose their lives each twelve months in opposed and limited countries only for being Christian. Counties like Sudan, Iran, Laos, Nigeria. India and an excellent variety of others, are fining, imprisoning and executing Christians for changing, assembly, possessing a Bible or speaking to others approximately their faith.

Have you read the bible? The reason that its true that they wont make it into heaven is because they are not following the ten commandments and they sin. Anyone who sins or doesnt follow the ten commandments wont make it to heaven , Now if a christain doesnt follow the ten commandments or sins its still the same they wont make it to heaven. Other religions sin by worshiping false idols and some are extreamly violent. Why do we want people to convert? Because we dont want anyone to go to hell! if they dont want to its fine we will just pray for them to be blessed. Hostility? When? christanity is all about loving each other even people who sin. We do not pursicute homosexuals but that is a major sin and is not taken lighty. So what does that mean? that means we will pray for that person to see what there doing is a sin. Why? Because we dont want them to go to hell! Dont be fooled by people who "claim" their chrsitains and insult or hurt others purposley about anything in anyway they are in fact not true christains.

some innocent people are put into harms way. and if anyone says its gods testing them then burn in wherever you believe because setting fire to a non-christian building and walking away from, or standing near is wrong. children have been killed in many many MANY ways over religion. anyone who can ignore the screams of a child in agony is not worth some good afterlife.

and those who say the BIBLE is kind loving and true, well try sleeping at night when your faith want people, some bad most innocent and young. to burn in a pit for all eternity

Being persecuted is desirable because it assures you of a better position in god's mansion.

Sad thing, that's true.

Everyone is a hypocrite some just can't accept it

>Christians, why do you always claim you're being persecuted?

Because Fox news tells them they are.

Oh for crying out loud.....
