And ... some forum members responses are along the lines of don't play the victim card, some Christians were bad centuries ago or now, so it's open season so to speak, others play up on recent "scandals" and mockery, Christains are horrible since they seem to force their views on everyone, Christians are mindless robots, and the list goes on.

Quite the sad distractions from the simple question posed by the OP. Not only sad, but simply misplaced and not so accurate either. If there was a case for bullying, it would be the current majority and their antics. And, once the bully on the block gets shoved back a few times, well that's a different story. And, what is really, really funny is that most of those in that same crowd have such an interesting response to those comment on our illustrious commander in comic relief, or our muslim brothers who become outraged, riot, and kill Americans over silly little movie, and alike. Just seems the overall picture is folks pick their sides and nothing more. If you pick a side, don't feel compelled to bash the other side. That is what Jesus taught so to speak, but then again the current majority doesn't believe in him so it sort of makes sense ...
