Jackboots? Huh? Lemon lime said Jesus predicted that His followers, including Christians nowadays, would be "reviled and hated". I was asking if this had come true for lemon lime? He brought up the "reviled and hated" thing, not me; I was just asking him about it, that's all.

Sheesh... some peobles are way too sensitive and paranoid to carry on a reasonable conversation without them flying off the handle and accusing you of something you usually do... but this doesn't necessarily mean will you always do what you always do, right? I mean, the only way someone can know why you are always fishing for bits and scraps of information to be used later against them is if they take the bait and see if you do it again... am I right? Who do these people think they are, mind readers or sumptin like *hick* sumpton.... yuah, huh?

Let me get this straight... if "us" wants to know, but us is "just a figure of speech", then a figure of speech wants to know... or is asking if... say what? You want me to answer a question posed by a figure of speech? If "a figure of speech" wants to know, then why not just let "a figure of speech" speak for itself?
Okay, that's it... I've had it with you! If you continue to pester me with this strange line of questioning ~ ostensibly on behalf of your imaginary friend "a figure of speech" ~ then I will direct my attorney ["up yours"] to contact you and/or your attorney, and he will 'explain' a few things to you. We need to get these persistent misunderstandings cleared up before we can continue with this... otherwise the deal is off, and I will personally show up and have your supplier tossed into the local prison bathhouse of shame.

The prediction I am talking about was made by Jesus ~ or so you said ~ about Christians being "reviled and hated". I am curious as to whether this has come true in your life or that of any Christians you know.

I don't read it that way.
Perhaps that you do, shows your own insecurity and paranoia.
"A while back, I posted that atheists and Christians in this forum should be more willing to see each others' side in the conflict and try to show some respect towards the "other side" because after all, they are human too, and so deserve some respect just for being human. I wasn't saying we should adopt each others' positions or even respect each others' beliefs, but that we should respect the fact that both sides have a position and a belief that their position is right, and so we should take a step back and "cool our jets" as it were and try to yes, discuss the issues here from a common stance of respect and understanding that we will naturally disagree. But then Googlefudge launched into a massive attack upon me for even considering to propose such a ridiculous idea and he wasn't going to respect me no matter what and even that yes, Christians were "dangerous" and should be opposed at every opportunity and with every breath. This caused some atheists to reverse course and say yes, you're right, those nasty Christians should be mercilessly "put in their place" and the persecution stepped up to even more than it was before."
When asked to substantiate these accusations against persons unnamed, you were unable to say when these instances of persecution happened, who it was who was persecuting you, what 'stepped up the persecution' meant or any examples of it, or what it was that they said or why they said it or what you said. It strikes me as you being paranoid and therefore it is paranoia that might explain your perception that 'Christians are under attack' when what is in fact going on is normal debate and discussion between community members with differing beliefs and who disagree on a forum intended to provide an arena for exactly that.
