Yeah, it's tough not having to take vacation to be allowed to celebrate the holiest days on the religious calendar.

There's a big difference between being "put down" in the entertainment media and actually being persecuted.

I'd like to point out that I grew up in the church and went to a Christian school for thirteen years which got me constant persecution from my public school peers.
