That kind of language isn't very Christian of you, is it? What have they been teaching you at bible school? Shouldn't the example, and the "teachings", of Jesus put you above the swamp, your words have just put you in?
You are absolutely right. My apologies.
I should have gone with brood of vipers, swine, or dogs, or one of the terms Jesus himself used. My bad. Please forgive me.

Eric, what don't you understand about the difference between persecution and enforcing laws in an entirely different system than we have over here in America? You're not going to get from me what you want so forget about it.

Every nation has certain people they persecute. Christians in general are not being persecuted as a whole. There may be some in the Middle East who are but those living in the major countries are not. Just look at the Vatican, if someone claims they are persecuted then he is a liar. In North America, the Christians are nowhere near persecution.
World Evangelical Alliance Reports Two Hundred Million Christians Persecuted Worldwide
The Geneva Report 2002 revealed that an unprecedented number of Christians now face disinformation, discrimination, and outright persecution worldwide. It detailed specific cases of persecution in India, Greece, Cyprus, Nigeria, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Turkmenistan, China and Sudan. The Religious Liberty Commission of World Evangelical Alliance presented the findings at the United Nations Commission on Human Rights on April 8, 2002.
two hundred million christians persecuted world wide
Rising nationalism and fundamentalism around the world have meant that Christianity is going back to its roots as the religion of the persecuted.
There are now more than 300 million Christians who are either threatened with violence or legally discriminated against simply because of their faith - more than any other religion. Christians are no longer, as far as I am aware, thrown to the lions. But from China, North Korea and Malaysia, through India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka to Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Turkey, they are subjected to legalised discrimination, violence, imprisonment, relocation and forced conversion. Even in supposedly Christian Europe, Christianity has become the most mocked religion, its followers treated with public suspicion and derision.
Christians most persecuted people on earth

Persecution Update October 6, 2008
Persecution is very real and ongoing. Here are some very recent examples from various areas.
...for the ones doing the persecuting are usually Buddhist monks not secularists. So much for that vain attempt to rationalize your perverted blood lust.

I wish I had more to say about this, but I just have not seen masses of Christians claiming to be persecuted. If they are out there though I would hope that they would stop whining.
