LINK These Creationists Learned a Weird Lesson from Sloths | Hemant Mehta | Friendly Atheist | Patheos
Answers in Genesis has a series of videos promoting their version of a Sunday School curriculum where their staff tries to teach kids biblical lessons.
For the most part, there’s nothing all that unusual here. The videos spend a couple of minutes describing something we’re all familiar with, before shifting to the moral lesson we can take from it. A video about why scary spiders can actually help us out, for example, becomes a lesson about God can sometimes use bad things for good reasons.
But sometimes things get awkward.
Check out this: In a video posted yesterday, the main speaker speaks to Ark Encounter’s zoo manager (seriously, they have one) about sloths… and then things take a weird turn around the 3:24 mark: (follow link to see video)

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Christians are persecuted???!!! Got an example? Just give me half a chance and I'd show them persecution. Were they persecuted during the crusades? Maybe when they were wiping out the local Indians? It must have been during the Holocaust...? Oh, going back 2000 years to the Romans? Persecution? If only...

Yeah the numbers of Christians put in with the lions in ancient Rome was greatly exaggerated. They were boring because they just accepted their fate and did nothing entertaining, so it was a short lived practice because it wasn't entertaining enough.
However if you go ahead in time to Protestants and Catholics, they sure persecuted each other. Most Christian persecution comes from Christians of a different sect.
The unspoken caveat here is, "Christians are persecuted because we're not allowed to discriminate against non-Christians, minorities, and just plain people we don't like, to our satisfaction; also, people insist on teaching science which disproves the things we're trying to preach here, and they won't fucking cut it out, so we call that persecution too because we don't have any actual scientific arguments to back up our myth. Now go away and stop persecuting us so we can get back to persecuting you, willya?"
