Why do right wing Christians whine that they are being persecuted?
You're doing it right now.
Who really beleives that ANYONE including Christians want to nuke anyone ?
Jenny makes alot of sense.
no one is abusing them or persecuting them. they aren't the bosses of their nation. if they want to be or want a nation 'under god' (so to speak) they can go form their own little theocracy somewhere else. some people have reacted with hostility toward them, but they ahve brought it on themselves by being rude to people, trying to dismantle seperation between chruch and state / freedom of religion, and calling those who disagree with them names.
I do feel for those who aren't mean, ignornant, cruel, or disrespectful. they have had their religion given a bad name despite their efforts to be christ-like (forgiving, nonjudgmental, ect).
I read a very interesting article. the religion writing in the Chicago Suntimes did a review/interview of a book about atheism. she is an evangelical christian. the author and her found themselves talking about hate-mail- both were receiving it from the same group; fanatical/religious right christians.
they exchanged quotes from said mail. (some according to the columist couldn't be written in the paper).
If they weren't so busy telling everyone how to live their lives, they might realise that is the reason why many people dislike them.
No one knows how to hate like a neo-con. They talk about preserving God through school prayer while advocating nuking entire nations into the stone age.
They also seemed to have missed that passage about the love of money.

I shall persecute whiners till the day I die. You're all estrogen poisoned non-entities. I wish you much suffering.
But then, for many, "persecution" is confirmation of their fervency.
which perhaps, in the most mild way... it could be....
but it's a bit of a stretch and every party and group is "persecuted" in some way, that way... with the Christians doing their fair share of it...
it's just like when Republicans complain about the "liberals censoring" them... when it's only someone voicing their opinion about them...
censorship and persecution is quite a bit different than stating your opinion to most people...
But you should distinguish between the many decent conservative Christians and the "religious right" The latter are not Christian--at least nothing they do is in accord with what Christ taught. But they are right about one thing--they are beingattacked--by the many decent people, liberal and conservative, Christian and non-Christian alike--who, like me--are sick and tired of their hate, racism, bigotry, contempt for the Constitution,and intolerance of anyone who dares to disagree with them.
They brought this on themselves. And the attacks will stop when--and if--they actually start acting like Christians.
When they are criticized, they react with disbelief that someone could be so intolerant of christians. Because they believe this is a "christian nation" - they also take it as anti-americanism.
I for one think they shouldn't get a free pass anymore. If they want to push their beliefs into my personal space by legislating, they legitimately should be criticized.

Your question is full of hate and anger, the same stuff you accuse the conservatives of peddling. Instead of being seen as just another liberal idiot, why don't you work on bettering your attitude and image?
When you do that, then you promote your beliefs and party instead of belittling them. You can't make a difference by calling people names and trying to make them mad.
Evaluate your purpose here. Is it to incite anger and resentment, or to better your world? To encourage others to see things as you see them?
Take responsibility for YOUR OWN actions and make an effort to get your point across in an effective manner.
They /are/ being persecuted, of course. Not like they were when the Romans were feeding them to lions, but it's happening.
Keep in mind that wrongs aren't a one-way thing. Those who are wronged can commit wrongs themselves. I know it's hard for the Liberal mind to grasp that concept, but it really is true. Once you realize that, you can go on hating the Religious Riech in spite of thier tenuous victim status - you won't need to try to debunk thier claims of persecution, you can just persecute them with a clear conscience.
So liberals don't attack religion? Funny.
