Mat 5:11 Blessed are ye, when [men] shall revile you, and persecute [you], and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

Mat 5:12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great [is] your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.


Now I am no prophet but I do realize as a Believer in a literal and inspired Word of God I'll be persecuted.
I got big shoulders...I can handle it.

So how, so far, have you been persecuted?

Asking you to acknowledge that you take the Bible on faith instead of fact is persecution?! Man, we're getting soft these days!

No, freedom from religious persecution is one of the great guarantees of our Constitution--I value it deeply.

But the agenda of the ID proponents, as set forth in the Wedge Document, is a direct assault on everyone's freedom of thought. The commitment of the Discovery Institute to the freedoms protected by our Constitution are somewhat questionable, in my view.

You are free to believe as you will, and even to proslytise in most places. But the science classroom is not one of those places

"I'm being oppressed! Come and see the violence inherent in the system!"
