"The news doesn't make much of it, but there are thousands of Christians murdered around the world every year for no reason but that they are Christians.

Are you saying that Christians in America are so bereft of resources that they can't make noise about the murders of thousands of Christians? Why doesn't Robertson report this information? "

actually, what he said was THE NEWS doesnt make a deal of it. we as Christians do make a deal. you people dont listen is the problem.

"We are commanded to share the truth with the all the world, and warned that the world, who hates the Light, will hate us for it. You are merely one more example of the fulfillment of that prophecy.

The really great thing about that belief system is it gives you the rationale to discount conflicting viewpoints. Like the man said, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean someone isn't out to get you."

funny, that same rational can be used against you as well.... stalemate? but wait! the Bible says a third of the world will believe, and the rest will not. care to take a stab at what the worlds percentage of believers happens to be? looks like we have fact on our side.

we as Christians do make a deal. you people dont listen is the problem.

I go to church almost every Sunday (you want to know what kind of church, get an idea by looking at my profile... hint it isn't the first unitarian) and it is scarcely mentioned. It is a biblical commandment to minister comfort to Christians who are suffering, but Christian culture overall tends to be loath to complain about persecutions. It's remarkable how the New Testament is virtually bereft of such complaining (reporting yes, complaining no), when the early church could have easily followed the lead of the world and b*tched its head off about the matter.
