Pulp actually has a lot of truth in what he is saying. Christians are bashed in the media, in the classroom, in a lot of places. I can think of several cases over the past few years where a Christian prayer has been banned at a certain location such as a public area or university, but yet the muslims or other groups would be allowed to have their prayer.

We're not getting murdered right now, and I certainly hope nothing like that would ever happen - but we are on the way downhill. There have been a handful of cases over the past year involving people being jailed for their faith. Rosa Parks is known as a national hero for standing her ground for reasons of race, and sadly it will probably come to the point to where another "Rosa Parks" comes about for standing up when somebody tries to take their Christian faith from them in a public place.

The number of Christians that shove the fire/brimstone down your throat is actually very low. Vundy, I know you've heard my rantings against the fire/brimstone type speaking on here in the past so I'll keep that to a minimum on this post - it's dumb to do that, as we both think. But, the media likes to portray it different though. They like to link the Westboro Baptists (who have no religious affiliation, despite the name) and scientology with Christianity. They like to show the preacher that points fingers and tells people they are doomed for eternity without showing the truth about Jesus Christ so that they turn people away.

I've already explained why you all are disliked by a major portion of people! It's a combination of not caring about anyone that doesn't believe as you do, and then constantly condemning and talking down to them...plus not getting that everyone doesn't believe what you do, and may not want to see Christian stuff everywhere they look. It's not all Christians, but those turn off everyone else. Also, it's just how the world is...not everyone's going to think the same as you. It's part of the life experience.

Every religion is taking a hit right now, it's just how the world is at the moment. But you all sure as heck aren't the only "victims" out there for sticking to what you believe.
