We Christians love to point out the various ways we are persecuted. But do we really have it that bad? This week, we discuss two things that tend to put Christians on the defensive: being mocked by popular culture, and celebrities denouncing us. Then again, we\u2019re not always the victim. Some Christians are doing a good job of persecuting themselves, taking offense at the building of muslim community center near Ground Zero in New York. Maybe they\u2019ve got a point, but we wonder how they\u2019d feel if the shoe was on the other foot? I\u2019m just glad the people who flew planes into our buildings weren\u2019t carrying Bibles at the time.<\/p>\n

Every week, Richard Clark and Ben Bartlett acknowledge and respond to the big issues in popular culture. We love feedback!
