Christians are oppressed??

[angrychair]

Since when??

2015 Pew Research study shows that 61% of US citizens identify as Christian.
With few exceptions (43 specifically in 114th Congress) , every single sitting House Rep and Senator identify as Christian.
All US Presidents have identified as Christian.

According to Christian Today magazine, American churches took in a record $114.9 billion in 2014.
(For reference NASA budget for 2016: $19 billion or Dept of State budget 2015 $65.9 billion.)

Vast amounts of time, effort and attention are given to this Christian majority at the local, state and federal levels of government.
This is hardly an oppressed or minimalized group.

Did trump or any The other "oppressed" majority stop to think that maybe these rules were meant to protect the interests of the minority, like me, as opposed to being about them?

1. If Christians can't opporess Non-Christians, then they feel oppressed.

Circular logic, but that's how they think.

2. as the saying goes

When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.

3. As the character Judas...

in the musical "Godspell" said: "Someones got to be oppressed"

From the song: All for the Best.
Jesus tells everyone that "You must never be distressed" and that "All your wrongs will be redressed." Then Judas chimes in with "Someone's got to be oppressed."

4. In this country it's mostly fundy xians who are the oppressors

5. Yeap.

Bunch of fundies shoving their tracts which gets tossed and litters the ground. Business-owners ask the city to limit their activities to lessen the litter....and

"We're being oppressed! All we want to do is share the Word of God and they are stopping us!"


On a side walk with signs, someone screaming the top of his lungs a section of the Bible along being supported occupying a large portion of the sidewalk, creating a bottleneck of people trying to get through or worse, walk into the street to get around. Eventually the police ask them to move to alleviate the situation.....and


"We're being oppressed! All we want to do is share the Word of God and they are stopping us!"


Guy with a bullhorn or speaker set up again, reading a section of the Bible. Its loud and disrupts nearby activities and then other people or police then ask it be turned down....and


"We're being oppressed! All we want to do is share the Word of God and they are stopping us!"


Yeah if they can't beat religion over your head then they feel oppressed. They have no clue that they are oppressors and refuse to acknowledge as much.
