LMAO@Bardock's ridiculous nonsense. So someone telling people to take precautions to protect themselves and their family with all the ISIS crap that's going on in the world is "inciting a civil war"? 🙄
LOL.I'm sure it would make Bardock very happy to hear about defenseless Christians in America being beheaded left and right. Good thing he has no say in what we do here in America. 👆

Did you just read the first two letters of the name of the poster that made that claim?

LMAO. I guess you've been living in an alternate reality then if you think it hasn't been happening here. Pull your head out of the sand and watch the news every now and then for Christ sake.
Yes and I don't see Christians being persecuted on the news. Especially since in this country a good chunk of the population are Christians.
I just want to note that a lone nut shooting up a church isn't someone persecuting Christians.

Its true, nothing brings out the hatred and violence from the "tolerant" libbos more than Christians .
See?
*Checks the religion of the vast majority of US liberals*
Oh, it's Christian.
People always try and push this as a religious persecution conflict, but it just doesn't work when the people they're accusing are, themselves, Christian, you know? Not too rarely of the same denominations, even.
It's people trying to use their religion is a debate that is, truthfully, about something else.

I'm just going by the logic that most of the people who define themselves in large part as christians tend to be in the republican, pro-gun end of the political spectrum anyway. Just seems a bit of an irrelevant statement.
Or what about how a good chunk of the population here are Christians and thus that makes it very likely a decent portion of people who are armed are indeed Christians.

That's not what I mean. I'm technically a Christian. Baptised and all that shite. I don't practice religion. I don't define myself in any way by my denomination. In the US it seems the more likely you are to profess yourself as Christian and have that as a big part of your personality the more likely you are to be right wing and thus the more likely you are to be pro gun and so own guns. More so than those who are Christians but don't identify as such or don't practice that religion. Likely also more so than people of other religions too.

A higher proportion maybe, but 70.6% are Christian.
Also, out of all Americans, 65% say that religion (whichever one) is important in their daily lives, and around 40% call themselves 'very religious.'
Basically, there's a lot more very religious people than there are conservatives or Republicans period. The attempt to portray themselves as 'the Christians' vs everyone else as 'the non-Christians,' simply does not statistically work.
