Well, you do know that some of WE THE PEOPLE in America are Christians too . . . I would think more than you believe!?! I strongly suggest you SPEAK FOR YOUR SELF because you definitely don't speak for me and many others!!!
Okay, I did, sew what? Does it make Christians any better? The proof would be that you move along...and act in the best interests of God.

Okay, I did WHAT? What did you do???
Does your opinion make Christians any better or worse?
Also, an apology for attempting to speak for everybody is the most appropriate response to my comment . . . not some backhanded slap in the face remark!!!

Why should I apologize, Christians whine and cry about harassment, for doing nothing. And yet a atheist gives an invocation and they are expected to apologize for not believing. You are ALL LUDICROUS.

I don't know a single Christian, and I know many, who have been harassed or confronted or pissed on. And, you are certainly not obligated to apologize for anything. Not at the moment anyway.

The reason is simple . . . you attempted to equate your voice for everybody else's! As I said before, you don't speak for me or anyone else for that matter . . . and any number of those that agree with your position is irrelevant! What matters is the empirical evidence and factual support for your position or argument! This is just my opinion and nothing more, therefore I give no empirical evidence and factual support because my opinion is just that . . . my opinion!!! If what your comment reveals is just your opinion, then fine . . . . but when people start making ridiculous assumptions about 'everybody does this' or 'everybody believes that' . . . they overstep their position and verbally usurp the voices of the people! This is what you have done and it deserves an apology to everyone, not just me!!!
There is no point in adding religion to this . . . it has NOTHING TO DO WITH RELIGION, of all the lame arguments!!! It's sad you left school without an education above 8th grade! Although this is an assumption on my part, it seems like a fair one keeping in mind the context of your comment is laughable!!!

Current stats are 345 Christians per month, world-wide are being killed for religious reasons. Recognize it or not, Christians are seriously under fire.
"The persecution statistics are horrific: More than 300 people are murdered monthly throughout the world because of their Christian faith. Two hundred houses of worship are destroyed monthly. Almost 800 incidents of violence are committed monthly. These are truly hate crimes, though rarely prosecuted as that.”
“The Pew Center, an American secular research organization, estimates more than 75 percent of the world’s population lives in areas of rampant religious persecution, mostly against Christians.”

Oh, I am well aware of Christian persecution, here and especially in the ME. I said I don't know any Christians who have experienced such a thing. Yet.

You mean you don't know any personally, right?!? Surely you are aware of the fact that Christians are and have been persecuted across the globe!?! This is nothing new for Christians, it has been going on ever sense there were Christians. It is just the frequency that changes. Perhaps the number goes up due to the number of the population of the planet . . . but it would be the ratio that would reveal if the frequency has changed to reflect a higher percentage I believe.
