So-Called "Persecution Against Christians":

Thanks for sharing. Thats an honest story. You do not strike me as a militant atheist. Do I strike you as an extremist? Just asking. I am quite literal in regards to many of my beliefs, but I have never supported legislation of morality.My Pastor is strong in his beliefs, and is against discrimination towards men of color. GRID. The Gang reduction initiative works to develop and support a network of partner agencies and programs to provide effective and efficient prevention strategies that collectively strengthen families and communities, provide effective and efficient case management intervention strategies to high-risk gang members and their families, and ensure effective enforcement of violent gang crimes.I understand the cultural battle. Faith based organizations should be embraced as well as other forms of community assets, but no church or religion should predominate and exclude all other religious or secular approaches. The keyword is balance. Thank God there is no religious persecution in this country.

This reminds me of a rapper named Bizzle. He wrote a song challenging Macklemores

yes i do

yes thats what I meant. We still need to work on our bias

inferior? dont you mean minority?Minorities may be a smaller percentage of the population, but are hardly inferior

Then I said: I understand the cultural battle. Faith based organizations should be embraced as well as other forms of community assets, but no church or religion should predominate and exclude all other religious or secular approaches. The keyword is balance. So I suppose we can all agree that there is persecution of and discrimination against many minority ethnic and religious and secular groups in this country and that Christianity---being a majority group--is largely exempt from persecution in the United States. Not yet. Lets continue with our discussion, shall we?

To LamarkNewAge:
Your links are relevant to this conversation. Thank you for attempting to remain on topic.
The first link, New Creationist Movie Is The Latest Religious Right ‘Christian Persecution’ Film talks of the many Christian persecution films that are coming out. These films are purposefully made to pander to a specific audience of free and entitled Christians who feel as if society just doesn't understand the reasons for their faith nor does society want to understand and embrace these beliefs.The second link is confirmation of google hits on the same issue.The third link appears directed at me as a moderator. You have a point in that argument but I suggest we take it elsewhere
So lets focus on DWise1's opening post for further discussion. Question for DWise1:Do you equate the audience for these modern Christian "persecution" films to be the type of Christian fundamentalism that is essentially socially and culturally "viral"? Why or why not?
