Excuse me, but there is a great amount of science supporting evolution, while there is none supporting creationism.

Having a view point or belief is one thing, but the statement that there is no evidence to oppose your view, that IS idiotic. There is tons of evidence and we keep asking you for yours, but you keep quoting the wholly babble as evidence. It is not evidence. When you get some real evidence, we will talk.
Plus, what is it with you lot and your persecution complex? Millions of people, evaluating the scientific evidence, becoming convinced that an alternative view to yours makes greater sense and having the balls to says so out loud is not the systemic removal of Christianity. It is looks remarkably like personal growth in a free society to me.
I can't even be bothered to deal with the other stuff here, it is too dumb.
Edit ...hate sights of Christians...? WTF. Oh wait you mean hate sites!

"
Not being persecuted in America?! I live in America and see the persecution first hand. I believe the world was created less than 10,000 years ago in seven days. Even though there is NO science to support anything else, I am deemed an idiot. I believe it is wrong to murder unborn children, and am deemed an idiot. "

Since when does "people think I'm an idiot" = "persecution?"

"I believe the world was created less than 10,000 years ago in seven days. Even though there is NO science to support anything else, I am deemed an idiot."
1. You are an idiot.
2. How is being "deemed an idiot" the same as persecution?

"Did Hitler wake up one day and begin killing Jews? No, it took years of preparation."
You're right! He was influenced by centuries of anti-semitic, christian propaganda.
PS. You're an idiot.

The hate sites thing is pointing out that Christians are not being targeted specifically for persecution, pretty much every group has someone who hates them. When it is proven that there are more hate sights of Christians than any other religious, ethnic or social group, then you may have a valid point. For thetime being, however, you do not.
Being called an idiot is not persecution. I have an above-average IQ and people call me an idiot because I'm blond. This is not persecution, people are not going to start killing blond people, nor are they going to kill Christians for being Christians.
As for the school thing, you're out of it. People are allowed to pray quietly, wear cross necklaces, etc. Christians are not given higher respect than any other religion ixn public schools. This is not persecution, it is equality. As for other religions being 'taught" in school, there is a difference between learning about someone's belief system in order to better understand their culture and actively trying to convert people to that belief.
Whether you like it or not, Christians are not being persecuted in twenty-first century America.

People call you an idiot because of your willful ignorance. You are aware of the truth, but refuse to accept it. That's why you get called an idiot.
That's not prosecution.

Telling you the truth -- i.e. you are an idiot -- is NOT persecution.
Come over to my house with a couple of lions and I'll give you a first-hand lesson in real persecution.

You really are an idiot.
There IS good, solid scientific evidence supporting the big bang theory. Not every last detail, but solid evidence nonetheless. The biblical creation stories, no evidence at all.
Unsupported views, Christian or others, should not be taught in schools.
Not "ALL & ANY" other non-Christian views are taught, only views supported by credible evidence.
Prophecy CAN be denied. Most prophecy is wrong. Prophecy which is correct is either correct only by accident or is "prophecy" based upon credible evidence.

This looks like a job for the 'persecuted/persecuted/not persecuted' picture...
But seriously, being called an idiot (for being willfully ignorant) is not the same as being persecuted. Perhaps if you actually paid attention to what your kids were being told about religion in class, you would realize that schools go out of their way to give basic information on them all and say that they're all valid. Look in a science text book- it doesn't say anything about God, or whether he exists or not. It's called neutrality.
But again, if you're going to stick your head in the ground and say you can see, you're going to be called an idiot, and that's exactly what's happening. Perhaps you should heed the lesson here.

Several hundred years actually. (See Martin Luther.)

Yes, Ive never once seen a Christian politician. All of them are Muslim or Hindu or atheist and they openly persecute Christians. Saying you are Christian is political suicide here in USA. I drove by a church the other day thats was being burnt to the ground, its members lynched on a tree outside, and a burning "atheist worl" in the church yard. Being a fellow atheist I immediately called a pimp for some underage gay prostitutes and crack rock for my fellow atheists to enjoy after their hard work in Hitlers name.

Ok that whistling sound is the point of the first poster going over Larry's head.
Losing a privileged position is not the same as being persecuted.

persecute v.t. to prevent from persecuting others
Also, if you really were persecuted, why wouldn't you rejoice, as the Bible commands? I guess you don't actually believe your own holy book.

Allegory for Jesus
Being called an idiot for holding counter-factual beliefs with pride =/= persecution.
Being called an idiot for being completely ignorant to the evidence contrary to your position =/= persecution.
Being called an idiot for having no positive evidence for your own position in all of this=/=persecution.
Calling a spade a spade is not persecution, you obtuse fuck.
Also: citation for your claim that other "views" are "taught in school"? I assume that you are either talking about "views" with actual evidence, or are talking about "views" that students are merely taught about the existence of, rather than of their finer points and why they should be a viewpoint to subscribe to.
If the stage is set to start killing Christians, please people just get on with it so we won't have to hear about whining and bitching about their unseen persecutors for an untold number of decades beforehand.
