Are we persecuted as Christians?
In my blogger reader I came across this blog post entitled, "Blessed are the Persecuted" http://acroamaticus.blogspot.com/ It is in reference to a news article about Christians in the UK and the persecution they are facing. I was wondering are we as Christians persecuted? I was going to ask are we persecuted here in the US, then realized that some of you may be living/or have lived elsewhere in the world. I know that some areas are totally against Christianity. But what about the 'free' countries? Are we as Christians really persecuted? What are your experiences, feelings, knowledge about this topic?

Very interesting topic...
I think that, yes, Christians here are persecuted -- though it's hard to compare to the hardships faced in other countries.
The Good News is, that no matter what our earthly trials, we stand victorious. In fact, we can rejoice when we are persecuted, according to God's Word. (Though I must admit, this is much easier to "preach" than to live out.)
Again, great question. ...
I guess you'd have to define persecuted. Physically persecuted, no. But persecution can take a lot of forms. Ridicule, not getting a job promotion because we are Christian, not being socially accepted in one form or another, etc ...
Does that help any?
Not sure if I'm answering your question or not. :-)
