i think christians are persecuted. who agrees?

Question

of course the bulk of the persecution i believe comes from christians telling other christians they're not real christians. go figure...

Answer 1

Well, if they aren't persecuted they aren't REAL Christians.

So they've resorted to persecuting each other just to make sure they're meeting their quotas for feeling self-righteous.

Answer 2

Tawaen has the right idea, b/c the mark of true Christianity is love among all members (which is accompanied by persecution from others). Perhaps some 'others' are accusing their brethren of not being real Christians so's they can meet the persecution quota.

Answer 3

Being unpopular is not the same thing as being persecuted. Unfortunately, many Christians who have never undergone true persecution don't understand that. Where Christians are a minority, they are even today being raped, imprisoned, and beheaded. One example would be the Christian girls in Indonesia a few months ago who were attacked and beheaded. Their crime? They were going to a Christian school. As for your point that Christians persecute other Christians, I stand by my first statement: being unpopular, even among your peers, is not persecution, and they need to buck up a little.

Answer 4

Persecution is the threat of having your head sliced off because you're a Christian in the Middle East.

Answer 5

i think they have a name for the psychological condition in which christians feel like theyre being persecuted because they cant face the sad reality that christianity is slowly but surely declining in acceptance as people become more aware of their world by sources other than the bible.

Answer 6

No. the undeniable fact that a Christian is mocked (justifiably or unjustifiably) has no bearing in besides on whether or no longer a god created the Universe, or a zillion different claims of the Bible. as an occasion - all of us comprehend the Bible refers back to the city of Jerusalem. can we instruct that Jerusalem is a actual place by using observing: a) a city of that call is on the placement defined - or - b) Christians are mocked. i think of you will see how nonsensical is such a controversy approximately evidence.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Christians aren't persecuted,they only pretend to be.

Answer 9

Everybody is persecuted. So yeah.

Answer 10
