Christian Persectuion aka ME ME ME

What a bunch of wienies. Me me me, this is CHRISTIAN DISCRIMINATION, this is against CHRISTIANS. Well I have a couple of questions:

1. How does NO RELIGIOUS PARAPHANELIA target ONLY christians? Last I heard LOTS of religions include little emblems that can be turned into jewelry. You don't have the monopoly on religious jewelry.

2. NO RELIGION IN SCHOOLS...noone said no CHRISTIAN religion, they said NO RELIGION. That doesn't mean just Christians, that means, no Wiccan religion in school, no Pagan religion in school, no Muslim religion in schools...

You're "War on Christianity" is nothing more than enforcing rules and not only against "christians", but against EVERYONE.

I love this list of the "persecution" suffered by christianity (btw, christians, go talk to a Jew with a number tattooed on their arm they didn't ask for, then you might have an inkling what persectution is). Here'st he list:

The federal government abridges the free exercise of religion in America by:
Regulating churches and other religious organizations through its tax laws.
Limiting religious liberty in the area of public and private education.
Forbidding non-denominational prayer in public schools and at educational ceremonies.
Excluding the Bible from school classrooms and from other school property.
Refusing to permit the religious displays on public property, such as Christmas and Chanukah.
The City council in Oceanside, CA banned public prayers that begin or end with the phrase "in the name of Christ."

Ok ok, let me say first of all, this is all BS. This is expected of EVERY religion, not just "christians". Selfish little bastards, all they want is THEIR religion up, not anyone elses. Notice their gripe is with the state backing a religion, that the state is not backing THEIRS. I don't see them fighting to have Muslim precepts posted beside the 10 Commandments (commandments the most vocal of the "christian" religion can't even seem to follow), they also aren't allowing Wiccan or Pagan precepts up. No no, JUST the 10 Commandments. Somehow though, the word persecution doesn't seem to apply, I mean, I don't see "nailing us up on crosses" on the list, nor "hot irons applied to the feet", nothing like "fired because I was christian" or "arrested because I was christian" nor do I see "run out of town for being christian" or "tried to run me out of town for being christian'. However I can sure find signs of christians persecuting others!

Of course, a prayer of 5 minutes is unflexible for an employer, but christians refusing to work on Sundays is not?

We could go on and on. However, you do see cases of christians fired, yes, and it seems it's always about following rules. Math teacher fired for preaching in class...yes, perhaps because he's a MATH teacher at a PUBLIC school. Woman fired for wearing her cross, yes perhaps because the policy there was NO RELIGIOUS SYMBOLS. See the trick of the eye there? WOMAN FIRED FOR WEARING CROSS, but only later is it pointed out that umm..NO religious symbols were allowed. They weren't firing her for the cross, they fired her for BREAKING THE RULES. I have never heard of an instance of an employer being accused of finding out Bob is a christian and firing him over it. But you hear many cases of finding out that Jill was Pagan, Tom was Muslim....ad nauseum.

What irritates me is not that christians want their rights, it's that convenient hearing thing they got. NO GOVERNMENT BACKED religion they actually seem to hear NO GOVERNMENT BACKED RELIGION except for Christians. NO RELIGIOUS SYMBOLS seems to translate as NO RELIGIOUS SYMBOLS except for Christianity. Wrong, no means no, none means none. And danged if these idiots don't get the job and proceed to disobey and then bitch about it. "*sputters* Well surely they don't mean me!" Yes! You TOO!

To me it's an all or nothing deal here: Either all religion in school or none. You post the 10 Commandments there will have to be equal time AND space for all other religions. You want the Bible in Class, then you must have all other religious books. You want Bible class, you better all religious classes. Or you take it all out. Quite frankly, if you stop and think of how much education these kids will miss just so you can be sure they will hear the Bible and the rest of us be sure all religions get equal time and treatment, you're better off taking it all out. Not to mention somehow I think the christians might rethink their view when we get past Bible Class. In fact, I would make it mandatory that Bible Class appear later than other religions at a random spot so parents can't force our kids to attend Bible class and then yank their kids out so they won't hear "Satan's Wild Ride" (Satanism IS a religion y'know).

We should do that, let's give the christians what they want under the law of our nation. Equal time with the rest of the world religions, in fact, I ask that it's mandatory that all students must attend or cannot graduate....yeah, the christians might get what they want, but boy will they hate it...and they might know how the rest of us feel...
