Showing Original Post only (View all)Can someone explain how Evangelicals/Christians feel persecuted or attacked [View all]
I know you cant apply logic to any of this, but its something I hear repeatedly. Just heard it again on MSNBC. They like Trump because they feel under attack and persecuted.
Religious schools can fire LGBTQ teachers, expel LGBTQ students, fire unmarried pregnant teachers. Refuse to provide care and services legally.
They want to control other peoples lives. Prevent women from getting healthcare.
Seems to me that they are the ones doing the persecuting. Says a lot when you interpret asking you to not be a bigot, respect other peoples rights means you are being persecuted.

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)
