What My Latest Research on Christianophobia Means
We have to think creatively about how we can economically flourish in a post-Christian society.

Often when I write on Christianophobia, I point out that the people who display this type of bigotry are more likely to be white, male, educated and wealthy than others. Your average Christianophobic is socially more powerful than your average homophobe, racist or sexist bigot. Without dismissing the damage that those who hate LGBT, racial minorities or women can do, those who hate Christians have a position in society from which small numbers of people can do disproportionate damage.

The irresistible allure of identity politics is now infecting the right.

How so?

You will be required to discard and/or hide your faith.  Embracing the social morality and religion of the state and society is what is required in a post-Christian society.

Read Matthew 24 if you have any doubts that is the case.

How so?

The lure of identity politics is the appeal to group solidarity on the basis of being allegedly victimized by alleged persecution.  Christians want in on that racket now too.

Break out the tissues and violins for all the victimized Christians . . .

You're such a funny guy, @Jazzhead!

Your biblical ignorance is beyond stupefying for someone who lies about the fact that they follow Jesus.

As I've said before, you follow a Jesus made up entirely in your own mind about what you think He is and what He stands for.

The Jesus of the scriptures in whom you ignore wholesale had repeatedly stated that His followers would be persecuted and hated the world over.

I've seen Christians persecuted, beaten and killed for nothing more than their faith, and here you are ridiculing the notion.

Same as the Accuser does before The Throne.

When in fact it is to you I send a lament.

I do not lie, and you know nothing of what you speak.

The Jesus of the scriptures in whom you ignore wholesale had repeatedly stated that His followers would be persecuted and hated the world over.

That's putting the rabbit in the hat.  But that's what identity politics is all about - claiming victimization to justify the demand for favoritism.   

I've seen Christians persecuted, beaten and killed for nothing more than their faith, and here you are ridiculing the notion.

In the USA,  Christians rule the roost in government, in industry,  in every sphere of community life.  Don't give me this crap that Christians are persecuted in this country.

It was just a matter of time ....

So, y'all don't identify as "on the right"?

[Right_in_Virginia]

So, y'all don't identify as "on the right"?

Yes, of course.  But the "on the right" is splintering into sub-identity groups.  And, rapidly.

OK, not sure how that applies, but I appreciate that you answered.

Not like they are elsewhere, but you will definitely be one who will work to change that as you posting history testifies about your desire to punish those whose faith you hate because you have declared it 'bigoted'.

And THAT is where the seeds of persecution are planted, and watered and then germinate.

Man, you're sounding more and more like a identity-blowhard lefty all the time. 

[Mod1]

Enough with the name-calling.  Stay on topic or go to another topic.

[truth_seeker]

When I went all in for "conservatism," leading up to Reagan's first election, I realized there was a broad coalition, of socials, fiscals, defense and other types to create the whole of it.

Forty years later, little has changed; but I believe the far right and the far left are more strident.
