Its not a religion. But the irrelegious, atheist and agnostic od the world are probably the largest most persecuted group. Fundamentalist Abrahamic relgions (sects of Christians. Muslims. Jews . Etc) view no religion as blasphemy

[-] FabledAepitaph@lemmy.world 11 points 10 hours ago

Not persecuted enough for all the bullshit and self-righteousness they've caused

[-] Ironfist79@lemmy.world 11 points 10 hours ago

Maybe your god could do something about that. Funny that he chooses not to.

[-] DarkSideOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago

It’s kind of true. Look the deportations, they are getting mostly people from Christian countries like Mexico for instance. There is an attack on a Christians it seems

[-] HubertManne@piefed.social 8 points 11 hours ago

oh. sure sure. of course. and their most perfect adherents like donald trump have suffered the biggest witch hunts in all of history. So sick of all those other religions doing the witch hunts on the good christian men whose virtue is beyond reproach no matter how many times they went to pedo peninsula or just straight out talked about it during interviews in their life. epstein files. epstein files.

If only saying it could make it so.

Christian groups want to persecute everyone. Projection at its finest.

[-] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 8 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

Only some Christians. I don't recall the Quakers ever having persecuted anyone. And the various Anabaptist spin-offs don't persecute anyone but themselves.

It's the ones with power that get up to evil shit.

[-] aceshigh@lemmy.world 32 points 1 day ago

Christian’s believe that the only good Christian is a persecuted one. So they create chaos to be persecuted. This mental gymnastics hurts my back.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 11 points 22 hours ago

No, they think not being on a pedestal and having their unwarranted privileges slowly peeled away means they are "persecuted".

They also think it's "persecution" when they cannot brainwash other people's children while in captivity at public schools.

[-] aceshigh@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

Equality for some is persecution and oppression for others.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

Very true - I know some xtians just about lose their minds when a "world religions" class is discussed, or talking about "the" bible as literature.

The notion that their chosen lifestyle were to be put on equal footing to other mythologies in an educational setting is just mind-boggling to them and absolutely enrages many of them.

xtians: "We want religion back in the public schools!"

normal Americans: "How about we teach kids about xtianity in the context of other religions? And have "the" bible included as part of Western literature?"

xtians: "NOOOOOOO! NOT LIKE THAT!"

[-] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 4 points 13 hours ago

They also think it's persecution when other people aren't forced to follow their religion, like when gay marriage is allowed

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

100% this. They simply cannot comprehend that in a secular nation, their rules are for THEM and not for anyone else that isn't in their little book club.

But they don't want the country to remain secular - they want to "fundamentally change America" (remember when the scary Blah man said that and how terrified they all were - more projection) so that the rules of their little book club are imposed on everyone else.

[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

It is a very common thing about them. More and more people can see it. If a regressive accuses someone of doing something. Its a sure bet they are doing or planning to do that something to others.

[-] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 25 points 1 day ago

So persecuted that we get days off work and school based on their calendar

[-] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 4 points 16 hours ago

My days off are Saturn-day and Sun-day. Like all the other days of the week in English, those names have a pre-Christian origin.

[-] nibble4bits@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 hour ago

Let's also take off Moon-day, Tiw's day (Germanic Mars God of war), wOdin's day, Thor's day and Frigga's day (Odin's wife).

[-] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 10 points 13 hours ago

Yes but the reason they're holidays is Christian. And I was also referring to Christmas and Easter

[-] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 day ago

So persecuted that they managed to colonize every continent and force their religious laws on people who were there first

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 50 points 1 day ago

Not on Earth, of course. But when you add up all the persecuted Christians orbiting Alpha Centauri and Romulus and Omicron Persei Eight...

[-] officermike@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Why does Christianity, the largest religion, not simply eat the other religions?

[-] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 day ago

They've tried

Where was she in 2017 when white supremacists firebombed that mosque in Minneapolis? How about it being legal to forbid Jews from enrolling at medical schools in Minnesota until the 1950s?

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 10 points 23 hours ago

LOL, soooo persecuted.

[-] ceenote@lemmy.world 29 points 1 day ago

Consider that the whole universe might not have been made for you, then.

[-] ameancow@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

They have a whole belief system and a sacred book that tells them otherwise.

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Pretty sure the first half of that book is all in on rah rah Hebrews.

[-] h4x0r@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 1 day ago

How many religions and cultures has 'christ'ianity wiped out again?

I'd tell them to get fucked, but they already probably have been, nonconsenually, by one of their religious 'leaders'.

[-] NABDad@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago

Seems like that's God's will then.

[-] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Thoughts and prayers shall help, right?

Edit: also, now is not the time for political action, we need at least 50 days from the last shooting, I think.

[-] salarua@sopuli.xyz 24 points 1 day ago

Neopagans, Zoroastrians, Jews, Middle Eastern Bahá’ís, Muslims outside the Middle East, followers of indigenous religions, Sikhs:

Pedro is disappointed.

What about scientologists? Xenu's influence is far and wide!

[-] Kirp123@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Scientologists have an entire Galactic Empire oppressing them. Like I think they win.

[-] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 day ago

I wonder if this is how she felt when the Charleston church got shot up. Was that about "persecuting Christians", too?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
