Dear American Christians, You're Not Persecuted.

Now, stop whining.

If you are a Christian in America, whether Catholic, Protestant, or Orthodox, you are unlikely to experience the following (except in very isolated cases).

You will not be denied housing because of your faith.

You will not be denied employment because of your faith.

You will not be denied the right to marry whomever you want because of your faith.

You will not be denied the right to political office or political participation because of your faith.

You will not be considered a terrorist because of your faith.

You will not fear for your life because of your faith (whether it's through attending a worship service, wearing a religious symbol or just doing day to day things).

You will not be targeted by cops for no other reason than your faith.

You will not be pulled aside for "random security selections" because of your faith.

You will not be a victim of attempted genocide because of your faith.

And on and on and on...........

Christians in Egypt and other parts of the Middle East have more reasons to worry. Christians in Northern Ireland (depending on which denomination) have more reasons to worry. Catholics in China and even some in Scotland have more reasons to worry (Archbishop and football coaches receiving letter bombs). Christians in parts of India have more reasons to worry.

People in the U.S. may not understand you and may make fun of you, depending on how traditional you are. But they won't set out to marginalize and destroy you.

Now shut up.
