The left is increasing their attacks on Christians, but not on muslims. Why is that?

Christians are being canceled and stifled just like,conservatives and patriots are. The left have openly engaged in war with everyone else, and thye aren’t even coy about it anymore, so,yes, it is getting worse and more openly brazen. Churches have been targeted by the lgbtq and blm crowd, and the police are told to,stand down (BUT boy do they jump into action if a conservative or Christian defends th3msleves.

A pastor street preacher was arrested b3czuse he refused to stop preaching the word of God in public in I beleive It was San Diego or some western state. The cops stated that they arrested him because he was “creating a possibly dangerous atmopshere” by refusing to leave. Note that thye never arrest blm and antifa for creating actusl dangerous atmospheres where the left are actuslly attacking the right-

The left are now saying out loud “screw your sympathy and prayers” in tragic situations now, and they are getting much more angry and hostile towards those who are Christians. It all stems from evil and Incivility on the part of a very selfish and angry generation who can’t stand the fsct that others have a right to,free speech and opinions.

We are sliding into,a very bad place in this country, more and more rapidly. Other nations have it much worse of course, but we,aren’t far off from being pretty bad in our nation if the left go much further in their hatred towards anyone who isn’t a rabid liberal- theh own and control the police, courts, judges etc, and they use them to persecute Christians conservatives and patriots, and ot financially cripple them in courts.

Long ago I decided that political persecution of my faith won’t be tolerated. I trust that I’ll have the words needed when needed. Attempt at physical persecution of myself and mine in my presence won’t be allowed. Long ago I traded my cloak for a sword. I’ll choose cold rather than defenseless. As a free American, I am guaranteed the free exercise of my faith and have the rights to self preservation/ defense
of that exercise as well.

That is, or at least ought to be, the Christian in America, harmless as a dove, wise as a serpent, but able to live free by lawful application of force, legal process or physical as the case may dictate if/ when rights, liberties and immunities endowed by my Creator and protected by our tacitly and implicitly agreed upon foundations are threatened.

Don’t tread on me.

Cdls and Bishops are denying some practicing Catholics THM, that is very similar to persecution.

Not a persecution, yet. The younger generation is very pushy when it comes to the trans, gay, queer population. I am talking about Christian kids (maybe former, not sure) chastising their elders for having a Christian worldview regarding the LGBTQ+++. These are kids that got degrees from conservative Christian universities. Brainwashed.

I can see those type of young people turning in their elders to authorities if the “need” came up.

Americans made “diversity” and “multiculturalism” the national religion instead of Christianity, so do not be surprised at the consequences of worshipping a false idol.

Let’s see a Christian try to get a job as a newscaster, actor, teacher in a big city, a management job in Oregon State government. Won’t happen.

What was the first institution or gathering place that was shut down immediately when lock-downs were mandated?

"These are big, historic decisions and they don't square with a narrative of diminishing religious liberty for Christians."

These Supreme Court decisions were outliers, running against the major trends of American society. That is obvious from the huge outcry they provoked on the left, with immediate pushback on many fronts.

On a day to day basis, Christianity is being marginalized and even criminalized. Christian institutions often have to go to court to protect their right to maintain doctrinal and moral authority within their own walls.

Christian parents see public schools increasingly forcing pagan notions of sexuality on their young children, and this trend is spreading like wildfire. The LGBTQ+ agenda is the main weapon being used against Christians, and - along with the vax mandates and CRT - is being used to drive Christians out of our institutions, now including the military.

It is little consolation that Christians aren't (yet) facing the daily threat of murder as in some Muslim, Hindu, and communist areas, but that sort of persecution is not unknown in the West, including Spain, Mexico, and France within recent centuries.

I’ve heard atheists say, “Dang, I’m not a Christian, but they sure are picking on the Christians.” When even atheists notice it and think it’s wrong, something is going on.

Satan is overplaying his hand.

Similar analogy:
Gas prices increased $4.10 under Biden, but decreased $0.60 this month. That is a great improvement.
