[quote=kj] I think the idea that Christians in the U.S. think they are persecuted is somewhat of a strawman invented by people who want to discount any argument made in favor of a christian point of view.
Go watch Rick Perry's "Strong" video.
He uses some language that's perhaps stronger than what I would agree with, but I think it's stretching a bit to say that he means Christians are being persecuted here. Are Christians ever discriminated against here? Obviously, but I wouldn't consider that persecution, per se.
I also am not sure Rick Perry speaks for all Christians, or even a majority, so a political ad probably isn't great proof of anything. kj.
