Former Archbishop of Canterbury to "persecuted" Christians: grow up

[Fortinbras Armstrong]

1. American Evangelical Christians regularly say

That (1) they represent a majority of Americans and (b) they are being relentlessly persecuted. First, the phrase "relentlessly persecuted majority" is an excellent example of an oxymoron. Second, I agree with Archbishop Williams: They are "mildly uncomfortable," not persecuted. Sending Jews to Auschwitz is persecution; passing gay marriage laws is not. Basically, their claims of "persecution" amount to "They are being mean to us by not giving us our way" -- a cry one might expect from a four-year-old, not an adult.
