patron-saint-of-smart-asses: walden-west: recoveringvictorian: saltotheearth: It’s amazing how most people in this country have no idea that persecution of Christians occurs. Mention it anywhere mainstream and people will ask you for sources and mock the “Christian victim complex”. I met a Nigerian pastor whose son was abducted by Muslims as retaliation for his work when I was in high school, this stuff happens all the time and nobody outside of conservative Christian communities cares. My dad was in Hong Kong for a church conference a few months ago. One pastor there was from India, and after the conference he was not allowed back into his own country because the government found out what he was doing on the trip and determined he was violating India’s law against proselytizing. Even in Western countries, we see this shit happen, even if on a less massive scale. Catholic/Conservative Christian women are bullied to get on birth control, I even know a few who were forcibly sterilized, and there have been various attacks on Christian individuals and places of worship over the years. And don’t even get me started on the gay wedding business bullshit that people still dismiss.Wearing a cross on our necks and following the tenets of our faith does not promise us the fabled privilege that people seem to think that we have. -- source link
