In reply to the discussion: Can someone explain how Evangelicals/Christians feel persecuted or attacked [View all]Mad_Machine76
(24,450 posts)9. It's not really about persecution or being attacked
It's really about them realizing that they are no longer given privileged status and have to "live in a society" with other people who don't look, act, feel, or believe like them. Their solution to this is to find ways to remain in control of society and/or ensure that their beliefs, feelings, values, etc. are held above everything else and that they don't have to change anything about themselves, even if it means having to interact with somebody they believe is sinful.

OP
The Bible tells them they are persecuted, over and over. They believe the bible is the literal Word of God.

Because they get publicly ridiculed for their hypocrisy and stupidity by those with opposing views

Mainly because they've been telling themselves that for at least 60 years (likely more)
