Fox Contributor: Christians Are Being Persecuted Like Jews Before Holocaust

Not The Onion!!

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/robert-jeffress-christians-persecution-holocaust

Fox contributor Rev. Robert Jeffress on Monday likened the treatment of Christians to Jewish people who were “marginalized” and “disparaged” in Germany before the Holocaust....

“I want to remind people that, you know, the Nazis weren’t able to take the Jews to the crematoriums immediately,” Jeffress said. “The German people wouldn’t have allowed for it. Instead, the Nazis had to change public opinion. They marginalized the Jewish people, disparaged them, and make them objects of contempt.”

Host Sean Hannity asked Jeffress whether Christians “are being marginalized the way Jews in Germany were.”

“Absolutely,” Jeffress said. “They are being marginalized right now. Treated as objects of contempt by the media and once that happens then the taking away of further rights will be very easy.”

We try to give them what they want more than anything and all they do is whine.

Matthew 5:10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

and they were overwhelmed by the minority Nazis and ......... wait that never happened that way.

Christians are so enamored of being someone who will 'die for Christ' just like the good old days in Rome. So they have to create scenarios where they are 'strong for Christ' just like their heroes. Just like 5 and 6 year olds.

truth be told, i'd bet if most were threatened they would fold like cards.

listening to Christians demand OTHERS send their sons and daughters to kill those evil Muzzies who are threatening THEIR way of life. You want to stand up for your religion and feel the way to do that is to kill Muslims? ENLIST YOUR LAZY ASS.

Christians are being persecuted and worse across certain parts of the world where they are a small minority.

If these folks are really concerned about Christians, the focus should be on the places where they are truly suffering.
