Certainly not but Christians oppressing homosexuals is worse than pagans oppressing Christians because they claim to know better. It's the difference between a cat toying with it's prey and a parent drowning a child's cat.
This is what bugs me, "oppression." Puh-leeeez.
Oppression is what goes on in Muslim countries & Russia.
Just because I believe that employers can dictate your behavior, doesn't mean your oppressed. You CHOOSE to work for who you work for, the United States Government perhaps, you then CHOOSE to obey or disobey the rules laid out to you. You can CHOOSE to not work for that employer and live however you want to live.
I guess I'm oppressed as well. I'm an alcoholic, I didn't choose to be, I was born with it. And yet, my work WILL NOT allow me to drink on duty or discuss my political or religious beliefs in in public. So, I'm oppressed as well I reckon. They even make me wear a certain uniform with certain symbols on it, I can't have a cross pin on it, I'm oppressed! They force me into all kinds of training and such that I feel I don't need, I'm oppressed! You know, they even insist that I record my every action on video and then write, in detail, why I did what I did even though it's on video, I'm oppressed!
Hobby Lobby is being oppressed! Christians are widely being oppressed more and more.
My state will not let me marry more than one woman, dammit I'm oppressed!
I mean, I could be thrown in jail fr my beliefs or actions in other countries or stoned to death for having a sexual desire, but dammit I'm oppressed here!!
Why even haves rules or a civil society, let's just go full on anarchy so that nobody is oppressed, perhaps except for the oppression that roving hordes of thieves, rapists, and murderers inflict seeing as how they always take over in anarchy.
This oppressive society is just so oppressive to the oppressed. Pfft.
