Jews, women, blacks, LGBT people, Commies, Muslims, murderers, rapists, Liberals, Conservatives, dictators, Nazis, politicans, slaves, thieves, children, sluts, pro athletes, Hindus, denominations of Christians, Buddhists, etc.
Do you see where this is going? Practically EVERYONE faces persecution at some point in their life, regardless of actions and beliefs, good or bad.
Jesus' prediction of the persecution of his followers was like predicting that the sun would rise again.
I guess Bob Dylan had it right when he sang "everybody must get stoned."
What I find particularly amazing, however, is that for a group like the christians, so willing to cry persecution for themselves, you remain quite blind to your own contribution to the persecution of others.
Because the first four of that list have been the favorite targets of christianity throughout history...
