But as a Christian it's a bit embarrassing to be complaining about censored "Christian" art when a Christian in Afghanistan just barely got out of the country with his life. Persecution in America - the Government doesn't put up a creche celebrating your holiday.
Persecution in Afghanistan - they kill you if you aren't their religion.
We trivialize the word "persection" when we make it refer to trivial matters like Christmas displays.

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

Christians should keep their mouths shut until they are being fed to the lions, right?

"We trivialize the word "persection" when we make it refer to trivial matters like Christmas displays."I see. So.....following your logic here.....at what point are we allowed to bitch? When they start shooting us or hanging us? Just curious.
