for the record, i'm not an atheist. At the moment I'm leaning toward Judaism. One thing tho, the persecution complex is so 79A.D. How a religion that constitutes 85% of Pennsylvanians, and 80% of overall Americans can be persecuted is very much beyond me. Anyway enjoy what I posted below.

at street prophets

and let me tell you, it's hard.

Why sometimes I have to drive MORE THAN TWO OR THREE BLOCKS to find a Christian church - many of them don't even have 60 foot tall gold crosses!!! - clearly they are having to hide with, say, only a $60,000 electronic message board or, gasp, even a small tasteful sign to signal to those brave few who know where to go....

often the Churches are clustered together with 3 or 4 in one area - I can only assume that happened as a defensive measure...

Unfortunately it didn't work as usually in these groupings you'll find that the security circle was breeched by some damn Catholic, Southern Baptist, American Baptist, Mo Lutheran, Wi Lutheran, Episcopalian, United Methodist, Presbyterian, Evangelical, UCC, COGIC, MCC, Free this or that / insert a group you have minor theological differences with so they are hence doomed to the fiery pit here so called "church". And then there's the Unitarians....

and Christians are SO persecuted here that when Pastor Joe Wright of Central Christian (such a martyr Joe is - his flock bravely has both a 60 foot gold cross and 2 60K multimedia boards along one of the busiest intersections in one of the fastest growing and richest areas of town... they had to FLEE there from an old downtown location where there were homeless and hungry people persecuting them by getting in the way...)

anyway - when brave Joe stands at the opening of the legislature to lead the body in praying to Jesus, and attacks abortionist, homosexuals, and greedy welfare queens - why - SOME OF THE LEGISLATORS DON'T EVEN STAND. Some even walked out.

They walked OUT.

It's terrible suffering such persecution....
