They dont have the same ability that they previously had to marginalize and discriminate against anyone whos not a straight conservative Christian. In their minds, that equals persecution.
Wow you have an amazing super-power. You can read minds. and you've collected some pretty astonishing data there.
Christians feel as if they're persecuted; I believe, because it is perfectly fine, i.e no mainstream social backlash, to completely minimize their belief system and make jokes of them, but the same cannot be done to other religious groups without staggering reprisal and huge backlash.
Did you ever stop to think that maybe all the pushback that you call persecution is a result of your kind trying to legislate your morality and worldview on the rest of us?
Christians want creationism to be taught as being equal to science with actual evidence, like evolution. They want to ban women from having any say over their pregnancy. They want to be able to freely discriminate against others simply on the basis of their sexual orientation. Thats why people are pushing the fuck back.
"Christians want" "your kind"
These are generalizations that would be socially intolerable if directed elsewhere. Christianity is one of the most (if not the most) factionalized religions ever; Catholics vote overwhelmingly democrat, and honestly the fact is with each post my point is being made more evident.
I'm not Christian btw, not everyone who reasonably defends this point of view is going to be Christian.
Whatever you have to tell yourself to feel better, I guess. Youd have to be delusional to claim that a majority of Christians wouldnt be in favor of any of the things I mentioned.
Despite plenty of vocal opponents, Christians are absolutely catered to more than any other large group in America. This persecution complex is fucking ridiculous. ---
