Perhaps I'm forgetting about some enormous movement toward Christian persecution in the history of the United States that parallels the real religious persecution that history has shown to have occurred around the world -- The Holocaust, The Crusades, The Witch Trials, or maybe The Boxer Rebellion. Nothing you have experienced is comparable to the scale of tyranny that a single religion, when given preference by the state, can bring forth unto other faiths. You're a member of the majority class and, as such, do not know oppression. Oppression is nothing more than theory to you, and you wield that theory dangerously and without regard for the consequences. It's fun to pretend that Christianity is on a level playing with all other faiths, or even that the balance of power has tipped away from its favor, by both those ideas are quite false.
Yes, you are right that we have not been persecuted in the ways other religons have. Still that fact is we are persecuted in the US and many other places.

I was looking to start a team for my college for next year, but they got hooked up with a local JR High school doing BEST Robotics competition. Has anyone heard of this?
