That harassment complaint against the same-sex marriage recognitions was mind boggling! I’m astounded that Christians in the United States manage to feel persecuted.
Then be astounded, Robert. There certainly is persecution of Christians in the US. There is a lot of other persecution out there, too (Jews, muslims, atheists, racial, nerds…). It does not typically rise to the level of Christians vs. Lions, but occasionally someone is murdered for their Christian religion in the US. Columbine immediately comes to mind. I agree that persecution of Christians in the US is not as widespread as, say, the Coptics in Egypt.
If you happen to be referring to the same sex union case, I suggest you read the allegations of the 666 case, which on the surface may provide a good example of such persecution. (Note that we have the allegations only. I think the most likely scenario is that the boss et al. did not like the guy for a variety of reasons, then used the 666 issue as an excuse. He/They chose poorly.)
