Has there been a single recent example of Christians being persecuted in the US ? Wtf are these people on about
When they arrest someone for murdering a queer person, they call that "Cancelling Christianity"
Certain strains of Christianity in the US are really apocalypse cults. Somewhere in the story there’s something about being persecuted and being threatened with death unless you renounce Christ.
They need to be persecuted because it reinforces the idea that they are living in the end times and therefore closer to rapture or whatever.
Edit: persecution is also a key part of Christianity’s origin story (Peter being crucified for his belief, Christians being fed to the lions in Rome, etc.).
This is also critical for those who are treating the earth like it doesn’t matter. Rapture is coming so it doesn’t matter. Although they always fail to remember the quote, a rich man getting into heaven is as likely as a camel going through the eye of a needle. I am paraphrasing
Christians actually oppose going to college because the end times will be here "any day now" so dedicating yourself to anything but praising Jebus is a waste of time.
Simpler than that: victim envy
They were told they have to be nice to gay and brown people. That's their "persecution"
Ah yes, a modern crucifixion
