Tonight, I was involved in a perfect example of how....

[NightTrain]

...Christians who bitch and moan about "persecution" are completely full of shit. And it happened right here at DU!

On Saturday evening, some guy posted a thread titled something like, "A challenge to you athiests (sic)." The challenge was along the lines of, "Go to a graveyard at midnight, draw a pentagram, and invoke Satan. Hey, he doesn't exist, so what's the problem?"

I responded that the pentagram is *not* a satanic symbol, and that I have several Pagan friends who would consider his "challenge" a personal insult. I then created a copycat thread titled, "A challenge to you Christians," in which I wrote, "Try practicing your religion without shoving it down other people's throats. Betcha can't do it for more than a few hours!"

Within 20 minutes, my copycat thread was locked. The original "Challenge to Athiests (sic)" thread, however, was not.

Something to mention the next time a Christian DUer complains that he or she feels persecuted around here!
