Do you know how hard it is to stand against the tide? Serving Christ is no joke, sometimes it costs us our lives and the lives of the people we love. You can mock my desire to draw close to God, but have you ever met a missionary family? Have you ever met people who barely escaped with their lives or were beaten to a bloody stump because they were telling people about how God changed them? I just read an ad on the metro talking about north Koreans that are beaten and arrested for being Christians and the bible tells us its going to get way worse. No matter how you try to make my beliefs sound like an illusion there are people out there dying for this message because a piece of people literally hate what we're saying and hate our God which is a powerful confirmation there is a devil, there is evil in this world and he can't wait to kill us so that no one else will be restored or renewed.
Yes, and my people were persecuted simply for existing - we never even preached, and most of it was done by you Christians. I have sympathy for the individuals. I have none for your religion being "persecuted."
Yours is not the only belief system suffering at the hands of another.
In fact, I argue that a lot of people are drawn to Christianity simply for the martyr complex - leave people alone, quit trying to spread your good word. You'd "suffer" a lot less.
Jesus Christ, and I thought Jews had a victim complex....
Smh...
