Lost me with this bullshit: “If you think Christianity is not under attack more than ever before in the United States of America you have not been paying attention,” Locke said about the fire, according to [The Tennessean]"

How do you disagree with that? I would say it’s true.

A certain group that has enjoyed an elevated status is slowly losing it, mostly bc of its own problems.
The majority of our government is still run by Christians. Some are still trying to enact Christian theocracy.
Name the last president that didn’t at least claim to be Christian.

That’s hysterical. Nobody is attacking Christians, and everybody is defending themselves from Christians wanting to control other peoples minds and bodies

I think the issue is that it isnt being investigated as a hate crime, which makes the issue systemic.

Depends on the state. In many states there are no “hate crimes”. They are enhancements to other crimes. When they catch the person and charge them, that’s when you’ll find out. The 1st amendment allows you to burn books but you can’t do it to intimidate people on a protected class. I think burning religious text makes you a garbage person but that’s me. If you don’t agree with a religion. Don’t participate in it but don’t be an intolerant bigot and try to piss people off my insulting their religion
