Have you clamoured for a genocide to be enacted somewhere this week? Have you bayed for the cessation of education? Have you screeched uncontrollably for the public lynching of homosexuals this month? When will you lament the illegality of slavery? Have you declared your support of murder today? Have you persecuted those who don't agree with you yet? Have you consciously spread your daily dose of lies and indulged in the preaching of delusional silliness yet?
If you can't honestly say that you've performed most of the above, then you most definitely are not a Christian.
Remember, the church relies on your ignorance and stupidity for its income. Keep up the bad work!

That stuff isn't persecution. Then again, Brannon Howse is a person who thinks that Glenn Beck is too liberal, so this sort of behavior is to be expected from him. Lemme guess, he faps to the treatment of Christians in the Middle East, right? And yet, he'd run crying home to mommy if he ever experienced the same persecution as them?

Maybe this is why so many Christians are total assholes. They want everybody to hate them.

So when Christians had persecuted others for their beliefs and way of life, those people were standing for sound theologies?

That one is actually a take on "no true scotsman" I haven't seen before. Bring back that fundie innovation, FSTDT has been overflowing with repetition of the same shit for way too long.
Then, the persecution thing has been way overdone too...

Some people telling you that your beliefs are ridiculous is not the same as you being persecuted. When you dipshits are being rounded up and fed to the lions feel free to bitch about persecution, until then you can go fuck yourself.

Maybe I need to sell some T-shirts with "Please punch me, I'm a Christian."

Here I thought being Christian was supposed to be about being in a good relationship with God. Turns out it's actually defined by being in a terrible relationship with every other living thing on the planet.
I'm not biased against Christians, I'm biased against idiots with an unjustified sense of superiority. You fit that description rather well. You stand in judgement of others and are shocked that it comes full circle. You want your faith to take the hit so your personal pride does not.
Refusing to acknowledge your 'truth' as the only truth is not persecution. Forbidding you from presenting your 'truth' in a mandatory fashion is not persecution. Forcing a single 'truth' to be accepted and written into law on pain of punishment and declaring any other path heresy: burning scripture so it may never taught and holy sites so they may never be worshipped, declaring practitioners of a differing religion enemies of the faith, THAT is persecution.
There are myriad Truths. Your empty whining does not number among them.

In other words..if you arent being a pushy ass hole that makes everyone hate you, then you arent being a Brannon Howsian.

As for you Brannon, you forget that this is a country built upon religious tolerance. If you REALLY want to be sure in your faith, go to North Korea or Saudi Arabia or Iran, etc. etc. You could be really sure in your faith, really quickly in those places.

I heard there are a lot of True Christians in the Middle East, then.

Ah, this explains why they make up so much persecution.

"Sound" theology? That's an oxymoron, a logical contradiction.

Do you appreciate the huge effort and the sheer volume of work that the small non-Christian minority has to get through every day in order to keep the massive majority of Christians happily persecuted? Don't you think some kind of recompense should be considered for this necessary work?
It's as though Christians are quite happy to casually breeze through each day blissfully unaware of the incredible lengths the small hard-working minority of dedicated non-Christian percescutionists go to, just to maintain Christian histrionics levels. I think there's going to be a backlash soon, a sort of unpopular popular uprising. then what will you do?
You'll have to persecute each other or even self-persecute. See how you like that, then. There'll be less time for persecuting people you don't like.

Translation: If you're not pissing people off to the point that they start calling you names, you're not a true christian.
Unintentional honesty award?

No True Scotsman fallacy.
People disagreeing with you sanctimonious jerks is not persecution.

Brannon, you weren't listening when I explained this. There are a great, great many of us out here who have no desire to persecute you. We have lives of our own. And for the most part, we don't care whether you live or die.

So in escence the Westbro Baptist Church are the one 'true' Christians since they experience 'intolerance or persecution' more than other Christian groups?

It's tough being quite possibly the least persecuted group in America.

This is why we get all this imaginary persecution stuff. If they're not getting percecuted they're not doing it right, so if there isn't anyone to persecute them they just pretend.

Not happy with the trifling amount of persecution you're getting? Feeling down about your trouble-free and pleasant existence? Too comfortable and too well fed? You'd prefer living conditions to be slightly more like dying conditions? Modernity is not 'dark ages' enough for you? You're current circumstances could do with being more hell-like? You intensely dislike the fact that someone somewhere is enjoying sex?
If you are suffering any of the above gloomy maladies then try the following:-
1) Offer passers-by a selection of whips and get them to flagellate your naked flesh, you'll offer suitable recompense, of course.
2) At a building site, wolf-whistle at the workers and compliment them on their enticing muscular structure.
3) Demand strangers hand over 10% of everything in their wallet for you to give to your pastor for his new Rolls Royce.
4) Seek out Muslims and offer to sketch them a portrait of Mohamed.
5) Invite yourself to an orgy and suffer a seeming eternity of the enjoyment of others all around while you tremble and froth like a puritan fart.
Hope those tips help.
