We acknowledge that “Christians” in the United States today have a deserved reputation of being sensitive. An honest appraisal of the current condition in America would conclude that at this time, as a whole, Americans don’t experience anything even close to what our Brothers and Sisters in other countries endure.

But ask the veteran school teacher Jerry Buell in Florida who was suspended from his job and “investigated” for simply stating his sincerely held beliefs regarding homosexuality on his own personal Facebook page if he was discriminated against. Or how about the man in Missouri, Alaa Alsaegh, who was ran off of the road, stabbed and had a Star of David carved in his back by muslims because he wrote a pro-Israel poem? And someday maybe you will have the opportunity to ask Stephen Ocean and Tite Sufra, two Evangelists in Florida, who were gunned down / murdered with a shotgun for evangelizing how they felt about it. Ask these men and /or their families if these experiences affected them financially, spiritually, physically or mentally and I think each one (if they could), and many, many others like them would tell you yes; there is Christian persecution in America.

Also, along with standing beside those suffering adversity for their faith here in America, and offering applicable training, a primary purpose of Christian Persecution in America is to bring awareness that these things ARE happening here in America with greater intensity and greater frequency.

During the 1920′s and early 1930′s, prior to hitler’s rise to power, in some ways Germany was not terribly unlike what America used to be not long ago. But then things began to change….
Hitler entered office with great promises to the people; offering “change they could count on” for things that really didn’t need “changed”.
Today there are striking similarities between modern America and nazi Germany. Are you aware that one of the first things hitler did in his rise to complete control over Germany was to subdue the Christian Church? It was. Before the rise of hitler the Christian Church in Germany was strong. And there were some dear, beloved, courageous saints who did stand up against hitler and his faction; but it was too few too late.
Here are some examples of the “change” that hitler and his government implemented early on to pave the way for the dismantling of Germany, the murder and maiming of millions of innocent people and the dismantling of the Christian Church in Germany. Just like in America, in Germany these changes were made incrementally. Note how history is indeed repeating itself.
While prayer in school had been obligatory the people allowed hitler to make it optional. Prayer was removed from America’s public schools in 1962.
Festivals that had previously been identified as Christian holidays were reclassified with secular names. This has been accomplished all over America.
They took very aggressive steps to control and intimidate “Pastors” to incorporate and encourage various seemingly harmless pagan worship while discouraging churches from preaching the true Gospel message. Most American churches have already voluntarily surrendered many of their rights by unnecessarily embracing 501 C3 registration and churches in America today often incorporate “Christian” yoga, “chrislam” and other pagan religious activities into their programs.
They took control of public radio not allowing views contrary to theirs to be broad-casted. In America there is movement to restrict Biblical views as “hate speech” as they now do in Canada.
They supported and promoted Darwinian Evolution to justify the purging of the species. In many schools and universities in America Creation is not even allowed to be introduced as an option.
The Christian cross symbol was outlawed and replaced with the German swastika (the swastika didn’t originate with hitler; it had previously been used as a religious symbol for thousands of years). Today many of the largest main stream churches that call themselves “Christian” are practicing and promoting the removal of the the cross symbol so as not to offend anyone.
It is important to remember that hitler didn’t act alone in these things. People helped hitler implement his horrendous policies. Together hitler and his faction did many, many other things that worked to bring distrust among the people (like the DHS “see something say something” program in America).

Of course much of what hitler did was purposed to change the face of Germany. As mentioned, to accomplish this his initial focus was directed toward fundamentally dismantling the “Christian Church”. He knew that if Germany was to change; the church would have to change first.
Just like in Germany’s hitler era “christian” churches; today’s main stream, American “Christian Church” doesn’t even resemble the Christian Church of early America.
By dismantling the Christian “church” and altering government social programs hitler and his faction was able to deliver the change that people were promised they could count on, murder millions and destroy the Germany that once was…
Are Christians REALLY Persecuted in America? I guess only if you consider being marginalized in preparation for attempted extermination as persecution.
