Then show where I am wrong with the actual PEW research.

I believe that as the party making a claim, the burden of proof rests with you. I'm content to stick with the OP.:peace

And this.

You are avoiding the actual research you are referencing. That kind of says it all.

I believe the OP presentation is valid and accurate. There is no need for me to go further. If you claim it is not valid and accurate then it is your burden, not mine, to make that case. Waving your arms and shouting is insufficient.:peace

I already did. More Christians are persecuted in the world because there are more Christians. Case closed. What you posted in the OP does not disagree with that assessment. Only you do.

You made an assertion without providing any evidence. So far you have posted only hot air.
 
Every religion is persecuted at someplace in the world.

You should take your insight to Pew Research. They're the ones who found Christians to be the most persecuted.:peace

Perhaps in other parts of the world, not in the US. We don't know what persecution is here.

It's a worldwide survey.

Then I can believe it. I think we don't see any concern or care over this in this thread because one, it's difficult to imagine Christian persecution because we live in the US, two some of my Christian brethren have cried "persecution" over things that don't even rate as more that a slight diss, especially in light of true life/death persecution elsewhere and three, there is a bit of an attitude, as we see here, that we just, kinda deserve it anyway.
