God, hardcore Christians love being persecuted.

[thrysus]

they really do. it's actually pretty similar to the tactic used in cults*, the idea that everyone who's not in the in group fucking hates you because they're dumb and unenlightened and devil-tainted and you're going to heaven--so you better not listen to those outsiders lest you fuck it up.

*I wanted to add an '(other)' here but worried it would come across too Edgy Atheist. Although I am an atheist, I don't mean all religions are cults, but the specific brand of evangelical bullshit that Pratt etc subscribe to may as well be one. I'm not American but my then-gf introduced me to the work of Tad Delay, who wrote a book about white evangelicalism that was fucking insane and terrifying. He has a short series of podcast episodes that basically serve as cliffnotes/marginalia for the book, too, which is great.

I hate that I grew up in that and used to feel like that myself. Like, I was the cringiest teenager and the internet cane around at such a good time for me because it was really an eyeopener for outside of the evangelical mindset.

I was in my coworker's car once and she saw a sticker of a flying spaghetti monster that said Evolution and she went off on a rant about how Christians with the sign of the fish on their cars are persecuted by people with stickers like that.

Ten years too old!! Hurry up and go.

lmao he's so stupid. maybe he should go get crucified, you know, get method with it

[ayumidah]

Don't encourage him, he might try to get cast in a Passion of the Christ remake and we really don't need a second Jim Caviezel in the world

[xbenji65]

It would probably FLOP. Let him try it.

Amazing how dumb he is after all this time. Just walked right into it. Comparing himself to Jesus.

Jesus, poor barefoot man who advocated for the least of society. People hated Jesus for very different reasons than they hate you, Chris.
