Freedom House(http://freedomhouse.org/), an organization that tracks persecution of Christians, estimates that more than 150,000 Christians are put to death on a yearly basis because of their faith.

1.) once again, i present to you the inherent danger of being religious.

(end of bad humor attempt)

The god of Political Correctness is an angry and jealous god, a god created by the liberal left to silence all belief, all speech, even all thought patterns that do not conform to its precepts.

2.) lot of liberal/left types here and i don't see that happening. again, the danger of demonization & the hazard of idiots giving the entire group a bad name. happens to all of us of whatever philosophical persuasion, unfortunately.

jealous of what, btw?

3.) fine, let people walk around with bullhorns or drive around preaching. don't care who does it, if it happens enough it'll be rightly declared a nuisance/disturbance of the peace and outlawed. doesn't bother me, though, because it's quite infrequent, at least in CA. although i will say i've passed Christians preaching ten times as often as any other denomination. i just keep on walking, but that's just me.

4.) anyone care to venture a theory as to why the Church is facing so many challenges on so many fronts? bonus points awarded for seeing how many angles you can work in.
