"I think it is very dangerous to divide us. Christians, Americans, whatever. We are all in this together."
We are NOT in this together. We have a fifth column at work in this country. The same people that are seeking to suppress Christianity are also working to undermine traditional America freedoms.
We have a large group of people in this country that hate America and all that it stands for (including it's Christian heritage). I can assure you that we ain't "in it all together" with these folks.

Please cite Augustine's reference to the church as a harlot.

"Good luck with that."
You to!

We trivialize the word "persecution" when we make it refer to trivial matters like Christmas displays. We trivialize our Constitution when it is interpreted as prohibiting Christmas displays.

The thing is, it all goes one way. I would have less problem with firing someone because they were Christian and did not fit in, if you could also fire someone because they were gay, and did not fit in.
The way it is going now, pharmacists now can be fired, if they refuse to give abortafacients to women. Wall mart is being sued over this issue right now.

No, these are all recent stories. The ball is in your court to refute that religiosity in the US is under attack.

Giving abortion pills to women is not the same in professing faith in Jesus Christ.
I'm sure there are people who consider themselves Catholic who have used birth control, work in places where they sell condoms, etc...
If they feel that strongly about it, they should go protest in front of an abortion clinic or sell all your possesions and work for the poor.

The ball is in your court to refute that religiosity in the US is under attack.If they are each and every one of them recent stories reported in the news, then you should have no trouble providing links or references that demonstrate their factual nature? Right? I'll hold my breath...or wait, that's probably a bad idea.

"Funny, I live in one of the bluest states. I Go to the DMV or the post office or bank and people say 'have a blessed' day to me all the time. People wear crosses around their necks and have little posters and prayer cards on their cubicles."
But if a militant atheist were to walk into these same government offices and took offense at being "blessed", how long do you think that display of religious belief would be tolerated? Seriously, when the ACLU insists that a tiny cross atop an old spanish mission in the city seal of Los Angeles has to be removed, doesn't it seem just a bit extreme?

Stand outside of any church on a Sunday and tell me that religion is somehow being pushed into the corners of our society.

I think the ninnies on the far left are even more out of it than some of the people here who think Christians are 'persecuted'.
Here is a solution to the 'cross in public' issue: use another symbol. Fish. Alpha/Omega.

I don't have one; it was attributed to him in a book I read ("A Scandalous Freedom"). It had the ring of authenticity; I found similar quotations - not all tracing themselves back to the book I myself had read - attributing it to him, so I ran with it.

Thw NWO/Elitists/Globalists have a major obstacle in the Christian Right...they must eliminate this obstacle so they use the Dems/ACLU/NEA/Rino's et el as their "tool".... someday soon we will wake up and realize that the issue isn't Democrat vs Republican and never has been.
Some of us are pretty slow though ;-)

The First Amendment forbids Congress from establishing religion, and the Fourteenth extends that.
The Constitution is far from silent.

So, undoubtedly they're being forced to meet and worship in secret; being thrown in jail for being Christian; being forced to perform in arenas in duels to the death for the amusement of their pagan overlords; and generally tortured and abused. How could you doubt their word on the matter?
