"Take your ad hominem attacks elsewhere."
Another one who can dish it out but not take it.
"Well, now, that's a flat-out lie. Discussion, debate and even mockery are not "persecution." Only do the paranoid see it thus."
Ah, the old dishonest tactic of referring to a differing opinion as a lie. And on top of that, the false implication that I have asserted that discussion and debate are persecution. Pathetic.
There's no point in even referring you to the discussion above of how mockery can rise to the level of persecution. Your mind is closed.
"Because it's not. It's a simple statement of fact."
Oh, yeah, that's a compelling argument. That's not a statement of fact, it's an expression of willful blindness, of closed-minded bigotry.
"You *actually* believe that, don't you."
Me and hundreds of millions of other people, yes.
"That's just so very, very sad."
Whereas your refusal to accord people of belief the same consideration you demand for yourself is just disgusting.

Nope. Mockery = Persecution isn't an opinion... it's nonsense.
Does this look like persecution to you:
For the record, it's not. Nor is this:
Nor this:
So, neither is this:
As you have decided that it'd be Really Cool to be a martyr, and since there's nobody out there actually trying to throw you to the lions, you'll just have to make up persecution. In that case, there is little point in further debate with you, as I disagree that even the most rancid of mockery rises to anything even remotely resembling persecution when it's not being forced on anyone.
