This article should just read "American Christians getting more paranoid and filled with fear every day." I've never met a group of people scared of more stuff outside of those with severe mental problems. It's time to question what are you so afraid of?

What is wrong with being biased against people who are biased against religion? I am anti bigot against all forms of bigotry except for intolerance of bigots. Probably you just don't realize what your words actually say so let me just add that I believe you practice a bigoted form of religious belief that is totally against your religion, that you have brought into your religion the very thing your religion was supposed to cure. So while I am not bigoted against your religion I know you have no idea what your religion teaches. You are the very hypocrite Jesus points to with the mote and the beam. But I'm sure if you met Jesus and didn't know it was Him and He told you that, you would tell Him to fuck off and attend to His own beam. Oh, you would. It's no easy matter to recognize them by their fruit.

Your bigotry against bigots has made your bigotry, bigoted.

You can't remove your bigotry in a bigoted fashion, or your bigotry will remain bigoted. I am no bigot, but I recognize bigots by their bigoted level of bigotry.

There not paranoid when the government and left wing groups are constantly attacking them and trying to shut them down. Look what the government did to them in Michigan as well as the case of the judge who wanted sharia law

600 "attacks" over 33 years is not constantly attacking."

And what does a street preacher group inciting violence in Michigan or a judge who ruled properly in a contract dispute case have to do with Christians Being Victims of Rising Hostility from Government & Secular Groups?

He wasn't inciting violence

The judge does represent governments attitude towards Christians and the Innocent Christians attacked were arrested by police

Of course he was, you mindless twit-

Christian protesters traveled across the country to Dearborn, Mich., where they taunted attendees and even held a severed pig’s head for three days at the annual Arab International Festival. The protests turned violent Sunday, and by the end of the day as many as 10 people facing disorderly conduct or assault charges, according to ABC News Detroit affiliate WXYZ.

“You’re going to burn in hell,” a missionary reportedly yelled at a group of Arab-American boys, while other protesters held anti-Muslim signs that made bigoted remarks about Islam and its prophet Mohammed, including “Islam is a religion of blood and murder” and “Muhammad (Islam’s prophet) is a … liar, false prophet, murderer, child molesting pervert.”

It's like the WBC protesting at military funerals- they're begging for somebody to kick their ass, attempting to achieve martyrdom. The protesters in Michigan were just able to keep it up longer, due to the extended nature of the event.

My point is that you believe in Jesus, so spread his love. There is nothing to fear if you are a true believer. If you don't and you are just trolling life then you are a hypocrite and an asshole and I hope there is a hell so you burn in it.

The judge follows the law, not government. You may be able to make a case for the judges personal feelings influencing his court decisions but a)tough to prove; and b)letting his personal feelings cloud his judgment is not the governments fault.

The "innocent" Christians were causing a disturbance and inciting to violence.

And why do you feel this need to offend Muslims or any other group with whom you don't see eye-to-eye? Does offending them make you a good Jew?

The point is that provoking violence often achieves the desired end, and that claiming victimhood in the aftermath is a form of lying.

Claiming Christian victimhood in this country, in general, is an outrageous lie. It's not like practitioners can't do so quite openly, or that mega-church enterprises don't get huge tax breaks, either.

The judge stated that if he was in a Muslim country then he would be killed and he threw out the case, the judge also happened to be Muslim.

No I'm saying you bitch and whine about one group exercising those freedoms while whining that another group isn't being allowed to.

Do I have the right to criticize any religion I want, Yes or No?

That you even choose to ask suggests that you do not truly hold to the principles enshrined in our Constitution. Our Constitution was written for a free people yet you whine like a serf. Here's a hint: you don't have to ask for your rights, they just are.

I already know I have my rights, but according to many on here I shouldn't have free speech so I want to know there thoughts

My point is that if Christians criticize Islam then all the idiots on here get upset but if its the other way around they scream free speech. This is double standards and hypocrisy and only because one group will blow themselves up over this

I'm sorry but if i came to your church's gathering screaming and raving about how you are all retarded idiots who worship a homosexual and belong to a satanist cult that is detrimental to humankind and carry around a doll of Jesus drenched in piss i have a fairly good chance of getting arrested.

For a very good reason too.

But hey, don't oppress me bro!

True but that's not an answer to my second question: Does offending other groups/individuals with whom you disagree or inciting groups/individuals with whom you disagree to violence make you a good jew and if so why?

Does it make you feel good to insult your fellow human beings?

Does it get you some really fancy wings in heaven?

Does it get you a golden harp upon which to strum/sing tunes of fealty?

Does it get you daily heavenly brunch with G-d?
