A fictional arrest for defending a fictional story as an example of fictional persecution! Makes my head hurt!!

I don't know of a group more persecuted in recent history than upper middle class white Christian Americans.

What do you consider "recent history"? I don't see gulags, camps, yellow arm bands, Palmer Raids, Red Scares, Reservations or Jim Crow Laws. Anti-Christian Laws, Bans on Christian Marriages etc. Me thinks thou dost protest too much!

These videos look like they were designed more to be a modern take on the historical biblical persecutions. Not to trick people into believing Christian persecution still exists. The videos look like they were meant for some sort of supplement for Sunday school and someone simply released a copy of it to YouTube.

All of this was, reports the Akron Beacon Journal, “to make people more aware of what it takes for pastors to defend the Christian faith beyond preaching on Sundays.”

If I world the world for any amount of time, my first and only action would the abolishment of all religion. It's the single largest plague of this world. The worst part is, it's preventable.

Superstitious beliefs generally die out with education and time...except if there's a profit in them, then they become "established" and taught. Christianity is an industry, a very profitable one. If you could remove that motive, it would fade back in time. A Sunday Bench Show with amateur musicians ,A local celebrity doing a stand up routine, Singing, Shouting and "Confessing" is a entertainment formula that can make a man rich if there's no circus in town. And you leave feeling "refreshed", cleared of your transgressions and "born again" ( even if they didn't hold your head under water long enough! ) Besides, it's a combination Family Reunion, Freak show and a chance to show off your new "suit, car, truck, gun and younger wife to all the community.. I doubt we'd even be celebrating Christmas if not for the "business" interests ...I'd better stop, I "could" get carried away! :)
