Persecuted Christians... or not

Oh no!

Seriously, though, it pisses me off when white, upper class American Christians claim to be persecuted because they can't shove their religion down other people's throats. :mad:

I'm confused, is that article actually about them being discriminated against or is it being sarcastic. There are some parts that are just unbelievable if this is actually being serious. Ok, anyway after I notice what an idiot I am considering it says The Spoof in big letters on the top of the screen...

Yup, it's a spoof. But it has a basis in reality; some guy wrote a bestselling book not too long ago about how Christians are being persecuted in this country, and I've heard plenty of people whining about it myself. How a majority group that controls the executive, legislative, AND judicial branches can still manage to think their rights are being compromised is beyond me.

Everyone complains. If you have more than 2 dollars in your pocket or sitting around at home, your living in the top 2% of the words wealth and most likely complaining about some aspect of it.

There is an arguement that the middle class white male is the most discriminated because of the majority. If every other minority gains benefits that the majority doesn't, then the minority has the advantage.

I don't believe that though. Its just a bunch of crap. Get over yourself and stop blaming the world for your problems.

I'm a middle class white male and I don't blame anyone for my problems. If I want to blame someone for my personal problems, I go look in the mirror.

2 dollars puts you in the top 2% of the worlds wealth?

Correct. That is of course assuming that those in poor countries, spend their money on things like food and clothing rather than keeping it. Therefore if you have 2 dollars or more that isnt needed for basic needs, sitting around, you are in the top 2% last I checked.

I am officially in the bottom 98%... for about 18 hours.
