But you're right it's ok if these are instances of persecution, it is only against Christians, 1st amendment protection isn't afforded to them, only "your" camp is afforded protection.
You know who else allowed for religious persecution so the government could function? Stalin, Hitler, Saddam... you are in good company. |
ok seriously I can't gather meaning from this. your sarcasm has hampered your ability to communicate clearly. I realise my "st. Stephen" sarcasm above has probably brought this on myself. For clarity I'll recap:
1. you provided a number of examples that you saw of Christians being persecuted, pertaining primarily to the state observance of religious holidays
2. I noted that, although this may be persecution, that it is necessary under the 1st amendment which forbids the government from establishing religion.
now seriously WTF are you trying to say?
Note that I no where said that other religions aren't also subject to this form of "persecution." Also in the examples you gave, if we can take them as true, I don't necessarily see the need for "persecution" in order to protect our nation.
