I don't know, GC. You see such things spouted by the likes of Jim Bakker and Pat Robertson. And, as far as I can tell, it's rubbing off on ordinary Christians. I've known quite a few people personally who have had this attitude. One guy I used to hang with in South Carolina was into it really hard. But it isn't something the majority of Christians subscribe to or anything.
As I do you have to take those two with a grain of salt and go on. They have a tendency to blow things out of proportion real persecution is yet to come to this country but it will. For those who do believe we are being persecuted they listen to people who sensationalize things and then buy into it without real understanding real persecution, if they were to ever experience persecution they wouldn't be able to handle it in MHO.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
