[Responding to "How are YOU a minority?" @ the end of the post.]
As a Christian, I am a part of a religious minority.

As a Christian, I so want to be oppressed and persecuted as the Bible promises I will be , as a result I make up all this stuff about being a minority ,even though there are lots and lots of us where I live and we in fact control nearly everything.
Well, technically, Christians only make up about 1/3 of the world's population. So that would be a minority.
Oh wait, this person is only talking about the US? Uh, never mind...
Lulz. He goes on to explain how he's a minority with this:
"There are many people who claim to be Christians, but there are very few people who are actually Christians."
THEY'RE NOT REAL CHRISTIANS!1!!!1oneeleventy

A religious minority with meeting halls on practically every street corner and a TV show on almost every channel on Sunday morning.

As you can see, Christians alone account for 2.1 billion people on this planet or 33% of the population. Religious people in general make up 84% of the entire population of the planet.
In the U.S. (as of 2001 ), Christians made up 76.5% of the population.
Now, would you care to explain to me how you could possibly consider that to be a "religious minority" you utterly contemptible colossal fucking moron?
When pressed, the guy explained that even though there are like 80% professed Christians in the US, they aren't actual Christians.
I guess they put sugar on their cereal.
This person is either in another country or a complete idiot (probably still.) But you're apart of a majority when you're trying to prove your God exists, correct? as in - all of a sudden there are massive amounts of Xians therefore Yahweh exists. 8|
*Looked at more of his posts, complete and total idiot.

Sort of correct if you define "Christian" as being a kooky Evangelical rapturetard.
Technically, you can be the statistical MAJORITY and still be a minority group basd on the amount of power you hold in society. Women are an example: they are the stastical majority in most societies, but hold less power. HOWEVER, christians are NOT the power minority in the U.S., in Western countries, in Africa, etc. They WIELD the most power. So, this crap about being a minority is absolute bull sh*t. Oh, woe is me! I cannot totally control other people's rights because the U.S. govt. won't let me. Boo..Hoo...Hoo....I am a minority! They are taking away my rights to totally control others, their lifestyles, etc. I am being persecuuuted! Wah...
*shrieks with laughter*
obligatory pie chart
I thought maybe he lived in India or something. Nope. US. But, despite the fact that the US is 3/4 Christian, he's still a minority, since he's a TRUE CHRISTIAN!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAA..you REALLY want people to think you are persecuted..but you dont really WANT to be persecuted do you.. so hence, you are a Christian.
You want to be a minority? Become a Zoroastrian. How about a black lesbian atheist? ..those are TRUE minorities you stupid twit.
@831169: At least when I claim the fundies aren't real Christians it's based on the fact that they don't even try living up to the example set by Jesus. "And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this [is] the first commandment. And the second [is] like, [namely] this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these." Mark 12:30-31
Nothing about (for instance) upholding ritual purity, denying the metaphorical nature of Genesis or running a fertility cult masquerading as Christianity, to cite three common examples fundie-watchers often encounter.
Yes, what I think he means is that the only actual "christians" are the ones who go to his particular church, the other "christians" are agents of satan, spreading lies about the Truth of the Word. Or some such thing.
"As a Christian, I am a part of a religious minority."
For a fundie, it's refreshing to hear such honesty (despite their inherent hypocrisy; it must be part of their DNA). And as long as you remain a minority, indeed, the sooner you become extinct, the better for everyone.
You're talking about the percentage of Christians who are ass-hats, right? Cuz then you'd be correct. You're a minority in your own faith.
You still seem to think you deserve to make all the rules tho.
Atheists, Muslims, Buddhists, Wiccans/Pagans and Hindus, to name a few, are minorities in America. As Christians compose 75 percent of America, you are not a minority.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
