Have a guess; when was peak Christian persecution and genocide? The era of ancient Rome? Think again:

“The persecution and genocide of Christians across the world is worse today “than at any time in history,” and Western governments are failing to stop it, a report from a Catholic organization said. The study by Aid to the Church in Need said the treatment of Christians has worsened substantially in the past two years compared with the two years prior, and has grown more violent than any other period in modern times. “Not only are Christians more persecuted than any other faith group, but ever-increasing numbers are experiencing the very worst forms of persecution,” the report said. The report examined the plight of Christians in China, Egypt, Eritrea, India, Iran, Iraq, Nigeria, North Korea, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria and Turkey over the period lasting from 2015 until 2017. The research showed that in that time, Christians suffered crimes against humanity, and some were hanged or crucified. The report found that Saudi Arabia was the only country where the situation for Christians did not get worse, and that was only because the situation couldn’t get any worse than it already was.”
This, is I think, yet more evidence for the idea made by Brian Simpson in his article at this site, “Modernity is Killing Us,” that the West is sliding rapidly back into the Medieval period, with only technology preventing a total collapse, although, in many respects, technology with its job-eliminating powers, is producing a state of techno-feudalism. To fully reduce the human soul to a machine, the masters of darkness need to eliminate any challenge that Christianity could make to their game plan, and by the looks of things over the past 50 years, they are going strong, as the Christian worldview is in rapid retreat, everywhere. Perhaps only God can save us now. Over to James Reed, “Thought Police on the March.”
