12740030, which is exactly my problem w/ the idea of christian persecution. Posted by Joe Corn Mo, Mon Mar-02-15 05:15 PM
because as someone that is now outsider (in more ways than I can count) it is difficult to see myself as anything but an outsider surrounded by christanity.
praying at city council meetings. listening to politicians "debate" whether my marriages should be recognized by the gov't since god won't like it. listening to ppl bitch about the war on christmas even though christmas starts in October.
not to mention how often ppl witness to me about the lord.
this explains, I guess, why various liberation movements are scoffed at by so many ppl.
just the mention of it is seen as a threat to the mainstream culture. it's an attack on their identity.
and for some, a failure to attack those movements may be viewed as a moral failing that god will judge them for.
crazy.
