Has there been a single recent example of Christians being persecuted in the US ? Wtf are these people on about
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
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
So less than three minutes if you include her mouth to try and get him chubbed enough that she could pretend he could get it inside.
I apologize for the imagery.
What would they be if they weren't victims?
is this a trick question? air conditioned?
Accurate.
I don't understand how there are so many Christians these days. It feels like it's has a resurgence recently.
You mean people who call themselves Christian or people who follow the examples of Jesus?
I'm asking because I've got the impression that many of those right wing nationalists do pretty much the exact opposite of what Jesus preaches.
Both, but I'm thinking more so of the average person. I've been seeing more displays of it everywhere from online socials to irl. Suddenly there's more cars with Christian nonsense on them or you check profiles in what was a very left leaning space only to see bibe verses.
Most of these people think that going to church makes you Christian. In the same way that standing in my garage makes me a car.
It's actually just tribalism.
what would you call those whited sepulchres? even actual christians don't have a monopoly on virtue
Jesus was fine with torturing and murdering all sorts of people.
You do know He promised to come back and murder everybody, right? While the Christians watch from Heaven, smiling.
I thought the rest of us just don't get raptured. To what are you referring?
Those are the people "left behind". After all the Christians are safe up in Heaven, Jesus comes down to Earth with His Holy Army of legions of Angels. They will murder all of the non-Christians, and the lake of blood will be miles wide and "as deep as a horse's bridle". (Revelation describes the Apocalypse in great detail).
Then the murdered non-Christians will burn in Hell for all time (with all of the other non-Christians from the history of the Earth, many billions of people). The vast majority of humanity to ever exist will experience eternal torture.
Christians can watch their torture from Heaven, and listen to their torment, too, and talk to them as they are tormented. They can even smell them... God loves the smell of burning flesh like incense (that's why there were animal sacrifices before Jesus).
Over the centuries, Christians have focused on just a few words from Jesus, especially when proselyting and for "public relations". The vast majority of people have no idea of the awful truth in the Bible. Many Christians don't even read it. I have 12 years of Bible studies from Catholic, Assembly of God, and Baptist schooling. Everything I have said has accompanying scripture.
Stupid is so hot right now.
Reminds me of this:
I thought white conservatives hate LGBQT?
There are some queer ones that unfortunately didn't get the memo, they'll scream about how they didn't think it would be their face later
Log cabin mfers are already turning on the trans community.
Because she has short hair and is wearing a hoodie?
Because shes bi
Huh, til. This website is full of cancer, so be warned if you don’t have an ad blocker
Cool, does she stand for my equally firm belief of not being Christian? What about my rights as a pagan? Because I for one believe we should all keep our religions out of the government
Persecution fetishists gonna persecution fetish.
If you ask them to persecute other people less, they'll endlessly screech about being persecuted.
Yea, that's how they get the ol' two-fer. They persecute YOU until ~~theyre about to cum~~ you resist, THEN they ~~edge themselves~~ screech about how you're persecuting them by resisting
God often works with imperfect vessels!
So long as the vessel hold liquid, it'll do.
...or did you mean one of those fake gods attempting copy of the glory of the one and true Flying Spaghetti Monster.
R'amen.
That's not always

I don't think this guy is really a priest, but the message is still true.
Rehost in Loops or Peertube, please.
I think this is the first time I've ever seen a link to something on tik tok. Well done.
Shouldn't I? You can just watch it in a browser, I don't see a problem.
