The persecution and genocide of Christians across the world is worse today “than at any time in history,”

At campuses throughout the country, outspoken Christians are regularly demeaned, debased and targeted for their beliefs. Academics, social groups, and college organizations regularly ridicule Christians by calling them hateful, bigoted, and privileged, among other labels. They conveniently forget that Christians have historically been among the most persecuted religious groups in the world and are still persecuted at ever-increasing levels throughout countries in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.
Incidents like these demonstrate how Christians are being targeted in the United States for adhering to their values. When will we realize that the threat of religious persecution isn’t as “far away from home” as we may think? We need to take a stand and be vocal proponents of our rights, starting today.

I remember a thread where people were praising them for "cracking down on" Muslim's.

but any teachings which says a 'god' ordered a man to round up 2 of every single animal on the planet (even animals that dont need a male to reproduce, im sure god knew that). or god made evryone speak different languages because he was mad, should be abolished in 2019.

Render unto caeser what is ceasers and to God what is Gods
Who’s image?
We are created in God’s image, Jesus was teaching Christians to be obedient to God not ceased
You have no comprehension of what you are reading
Money has little value to God
Yes Jesus taught His followers to pay their taxes, wise advice if you want to live in peace and society
What would you recommend?
As if Jews would ever give anything to the Romans peacefully. So many strange coincidences:
It makes you wonder.....

There are millions of people from around the world including the Chinese Communist Party who do not have peace because they have never found the secret to peace. Some people have wealth as a result of being greedy, but their souls are not wealthy, their hearts are cold and full of bitterness, their consciences are dulled, and their minds are blinded.
The Chinese Communist party uses their positions to gain wealth, send their kids to American colleges and even live here rather than in China, so they can enjoy what America has, all the while defaming freedom and liberty at home killing Christians, allowing churches to be built and then when completed bulldoze them to the ground as examples to the citizenry of the watchful and punishing eyes of their superiors in the Communist party.
I have friends and relatives in China, some are Christians like me, and some are Buddhist. The communists don't mind Buddhists since they don;t worship the real God, but rather an idol. The communist rulers want to be idolized too as the gods of the people.
They have deceived themselves thinking they won't have to face a judgement, or a reckoning for their ways.

So why do some argue the spread of Christianity instead of worshipping pagan war gods is the reason the army wasnt capable of defending the empire? The Roman's didn't start Christianity. Constantine possibly convert led to galvanize his troops to win the Civil War but Christians were in the empire coexisting with pagens for hundred for years prior. No logical historian would ever consider that conspiracy.
Plus Augustus the most celebrated emperor was subjugating Judea during the time of Christ. Why would they demonize their greatest emperor by creating a religion not favorable to Rome?
