Beyond that, I just don't get it. More people than not identify as Christian (of one denomination or another) in this country, most politicians identify as "Christian" and Christians seem to enjoy greater deference and protections in terms of their religious beliefs/sensibilities than any other religion in this country. If the Christians complaining about persecution really truly understood what Christians are experiencing in some countries like North Korea, I think that they might change their tune. What I think that some of them really can't seem to handle and hate is being forced to live in a pluralistic society where not everybody is like them and won't pander to their every whim or conform to their beliefs/lifestyle.

I am super offended by self-styled Christians constantly whining that they're "persecuted"

I'm waiting for them to be fed to the lions at halftime. THEN they can claim persecution.

I missed the Bible passage about ice skates and snowflakes as Christmas symbols.

I don't drink Starbucks and am not offended, but I like the old one on the left better.

Check if your city hall, which shouldn't have any tree at all, is calling it a holiday tree.

Oh, come on. A mermaid splaying her tail fin on a red cup is clearly lewd AND Satanic.
