Yeah, okay. Christians are being "persecuted". Throw them in the arena and loose the lions. Whatever. Maybe their religion is declining due to obsolescence or a lack of interest? "Market Forces", if you will? Have you ever noticed that when people come to this country from say, Iran, the first thing that happens is that generally religion becomes somewhat less important to them? It's because many of them have come here to escape the tyranny of overbearing religion that has acquired the power of state endorsement. But, now we have a bunch of morons running around calling "Christian Nation" and voting for people whom they believe will advance their "Christian Values" but, that America could never become a Theocracy because Christianity is somehow "Different". It's only different here in America because of these words--"The Government shall pass no law regarding an establishment of religion." Hello. Thank you, Thomas Jefferson. "His Christian Majesty King George" and Great Britain were Christian too. There was no such separation under that government at the time and prior. How'd that work out?

Anyone up for a Witch Hunt?

I know it's hard for you guys to understand, but the only reason we have religious freedom in this country, is because we keep it in it's place....a personal choice. How can you understand this when it comes to so many other topics, but not with this one?
