It is not persecution just because you do not get everything you want or because you can not do whatever you please.
The fact of the matter is that every person in that stadium on Friday
night can pray all they want to, through the whole game in fact, you
just cannot mandate that everyone has to do it or be subjected to it by a
federally funded entity.
you just cannot mandate, from a municipality level, that the whole
parade has to be religious. There are kids who will march in the band
for the parade who do not believe in Jesus, and that is ok because we
live in America. There are people who will line the streets, excited
to see a small town at it’s finest, who have no religious affiliation
and should not be subjected to a religious event that is funded in some
part by their tax dollars. That is their right because we live in
America.
Christianity, as defined by the life and teachings of Jesus, never
depended or insisted on being the majority, in power or even
influential. It was a religion that lauded the weak, meek and the poor.
We do not serve the one we call the Prince of Peace, we serve corporate
America, politicians who use religion for their platforms and men and
women who ride the coat tails of Jesus straight to power.
