Wow! Christians aren't persecuted anymore...?

The persecution is great around the world and increasing. Christians die every day for their beliefs and testimony. But we shouldn't trivialize the types of persecution in America and other such places - universities forced to cover the cross and other Christian emblems, mockery of Christ in the media/tv/movies/museums, the Bible mocked from a presidential podium, etc... The Jewish holocaust did not arise out of nowhere in full deadly force, it began with mere anti-Jewish sentiments and escalated from there as it took root in the German psyche. No amount of persecution should be taken lightly as we have learned from history
