What an incredible statement to assert, so confidently and so very wrong.
I am not a Christian, but you are incorrect - Christians are an oppressed minority in plenty places in the world. Persecuted, oppressed, killed. And it’s not a “one off” or an exception, in happens in many countries. A cursory Google will give you many examples.
- randomsearch 5y agoDownvoted, I presume because I didn't give explicit examples; wasn't able to at the time but here's a list of countries where Christians face persecution from a US report: Burma, China, Eritrea, India, Iran, Nigeria, North Korea, Pakistan, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and Vietnam. Eritrea: where Christians are tortured, arrested, and imprisoned. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protestantism_in_Eritrea https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protestantism_in_Eritrea A country I was surprised not to see on that list is Indonesia, which came to mind immediately. Take the conflict in Maluku, where Christians were forced to convert, or the eviction of the Christian minority from Banda. Example article: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-55140847 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-55140847 Yemen: where Houthis have targeted Christians. Book burning religious texts, burning down churches, etc. https://www.uscirf.gov/news-room/releases-statements/uscirf-releases-new-report-houthi-religious-repression-yemen https://www.uscirf.gov/news-room/releases-statements/uscirf-... You could make a very long list. Just because Christians aren't oppressed in your country does not mean they're not an oppressed minority elsewhere.
