When logic fails, falsely play victim.
January 29, 2021 at 4:28 pm
I found this on Hemant Mehta's page. In this clip it happens to be a Christian nut. But worldwide depending on sect individual, all religions have conservatives who falsely claim to be persecuted. "Persecution" in human history is an era issue and geographical. But not all humans are persecuted even if some are. In the west in America Christians are not persecuted. But if you are say an X-Muslim, or atheist, or decide to convert to Christianity in say Saudi Arabia, one would risk their life speaking out. But this idiot isn't persecuted.
The lady is basically talking about a sloth, so therefor "My God is the correct God". The guy takes it off the rails at the 3:20 mark and bitches about being persecuted.
I found the video here.

Using sloths as a segue to Christian persecution is really pretty funny. Most sloths are Buddhists.

No they are not, they are Jews, no wait, Rastas, yea yea, that's the ticket.
If I could talk to that idiot I would say, "No moron, you are not persecuted. Kurdish Christians are, Palestinian Christians are, Tibet Buddhists are, Chinese Muslims are. You sir, here in America are not persecuted. Just because I question your horrible logic and think you are full of shit does not mean I am going to shoot you or stab you to death. Being afraid that you might of gotten it all wrong is your baggage, not mine. That does not entitle you to falsely claim to be persecuted."

Agree to disagree. Sloths don’t have the guilt to be Jewish or the energy to be Rastafarian.

Actually, I can imagine a Christian being "persecuted" if they proclaim the word of "Jesus" at me every time I walk by. I might just give them a piece of my mind.
This video is quite tame. It is a standard Christian trope that to be faithful to Jesus means you must be persecuted like the early martyrs. The more persecuted you are, the more evidence that you are doing God's will. Proclaiming the "good news" will make people hate you, and you should rejoice in that.

Chriistards are persecuted whenever they cannot force their will upon others.
And by the way, the average sloth worships the Sumerian gods.

Agreed, if they want to know what living in fear is, they need to go to the Holocaust Museum, or try walking around Saudi Arabia or Iran and keep repeating "God, not Allah, is the one true God."
Naw, sloths worship the Mayan gods.

If you were to walk about in a Muslim theocracy saying, ‘God, not Allah, is the one true God’, I think you’d be ok, apart from getting slightly bemused looks from people. ‘Allah’ means ‘God’ (the very same one), so you’d be saying, ‘Allah, not Allah, is the one true Allah’.
People might even invite you in for a cool drink and a lie down, figuring you’d been out in the sun too long.

Um yea. Ok.
If I am giving you the benefit of the doubt, ok.
But that is also not what I am talking about. I am talking about anyone daring to claim their core hero or profit does not exist.

I don’t need ‘the benefit of the doubt’. ‘Allah’ is the Arabic word for the God of Abraham.
Profit always exists if they buy low, sell high and keep expenses under control.
