A 100-strong mob surrounded the police station in Delhi’s GTB Nagar for several hours and raised provocative slogans as the pastor and injured persons reached to file their complaint.

    I don’t cheer for children being persecuted, as they are usually too young to properly understand their religion. I also don’t advocate such violent and brutal measures, even though there are and were Christians that used those exact methods to spread their religion. But I don’t support Christianity, which is a religion of hate, and am not too concerned about adult Christians being attacked for their faith.

      A Hindu supremacist mob doesn’t gently take the children away to safety and then return to rape, torture, and kill their parents.

      You don’t have to support Christianity, or any religion for that matter, to be against religious persecution. They are mutually exclusive. They are not two sides of the same coin where you must land on one side or the other, they are two separate coins.

      Yes, the victim of organized religion is the individual, but the victim of religious persecution is counterintuitively not the religion itself, nor its systems or organizations, it is unfortunately more individuals.

        thank you for aying what I’ve been struggling to articulate.

        Religious/ethnic persecution, religious/ethnic supremacism, and religious/ethnic extremism are the hallmarks of barbarism and opposing them is the minimum basic of a civilized people.

      Well, it sounds as if your ideology is definitely one of hate, just like the ideology of some (!) Christians. Are you American?
