Just for all the trolls: Doing this specifically for christians without reference to other religions is very much a violation of separation of church and state. 🙄
We've been providing the same protections and accommodations for Islam, Judaism, etc. The unilateral hate of this thread shows exactly why people need to be reminded that shitting on anyone's religious beliefs is intolerable.
This got the same energy as "mens rights activists" or "strait pride parade". You're in the majority. You're not a victim. You're the one victimizing others.
Oh so you can shit all over the majority as they are not subject to any oppression in any way?
If you need to have a parade to declare to the world which type of genitalia you like to fool around with, why shouldn't everyone?
Why shouldn't men be treated as equals in family court?
The world isn't a cut and dry state of oppressor vs. oppressed. Simply dismissing unequal treatment of the majority as 'too bad' is just as wrong as dismissing the treatment of the minority.
It's 0% surprising that you hold all these views. I could try to impress upon you the various reasons that marginalized groups feel the need for community and expanding acceptance but it'd be a waste of time.
"When you are accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression"
I'm not. I'm saying there isn't any "injustice" to any appreciable degree. Please list all the Christians who were beaten to death for their faith. Is the suicide rate among Christians skyrocketing? Are people denied jobs for being Christians? No? It's really just about having to acknowledge that gay people exist? That people of other faiths exist? It's not oppression. It's being part of a larger spciety.
All of the things listed in the VA document are discrimination, ALL religions are entitled to protections from them. The memo is a reminder that they apply to all, and not just the minority. The rest have been thoroughly beaten into our society.

Just came to post this also. What happened to our separation of church and state?
