Oh God no, Jesus is made fun of on Late Night Shows, and an episode of Family Guy(!)? Obviously, its Christian persecution.
That's persecution? If you want persecution, try living day to day being afraid that someone would find out you were a christian.
Those are horrible examples. Try the earliests members being nailed to crosses, hanged, or bludgeoned to death. Other than that, I can't think of any.
to be fair to Christians who claim persecution, but not to Joey:
It's not persecution, it's ridicule. You religion puts forth as facts:
Wow, its all fun and games until you end up persecuting the christian minority...
Remember: If you don't agree with the Christians, you're persecuting them. If you use your right to free speech against them, you're persecuting them. If you're born different from them and want to be able to live without persecution, well ha, because YOU are persecuting THEM by wanting equal rights. Makes me wonder what would happen if Joey were in, say, Afghanistan, where Christians actually ARE persecuted.
- The life of Brian didn't ridicule christians. I can't remember Brian claiming to be the messiah. It made fun of people who follow people without thinking.
mad dog -- Don't forget Christians being killed and Christianity being outlawed in sixteenth-century Japan.
Okay, Joey, I'll make you a deal. I'll buy you a plane ticket to Iran, and then we'll talk about persecution after a few weeks. If you're lucky, I'll even pay for the return flight.
So the only examples of Christians being persecuted you can come up with are a cancelled second-rate TV show, a 30 year old British movie, a second-hand, unconfirmed report of something "someone" said in Kentucky about the Catholic church, a single joke on "Family Guy," and a collection of late-night TV jokes?
That's it?
Dude...that's pathetic.
Dear lord. It makes the inquisition, the crusades, the homophobia, the relgious intolerance, and the brainwashing seem trivial by comparison doesn't it?
I'm sure the jews would be horrified the awful ordeals christianity has to endure.
@mad dog
Christianity wasn't outlawed in the soviet era.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
