Self promoted persecution, self indulgent movement of a moral compass needle, to reflect Donnie's latest abhorrent behaviors. I think they get all the disdain and dislike, and mistrust, they deserve.

Oh, they don't get nearly as much as they deserve.

Being disagreed with isn’t persecution, though those with unhealthy egos think so because their beliefs and opinions are so bound to their identity and sense of self.

This is also why part of my theory is 1) It might be the case that they are stuck at Piaget’s pre-operational stage of cognitive development 2) Evangelical social & institutional systems likely keep people stuck, stunting personal, emotional, psychological & spiritual growth

did you catch that Morning Joe rant yet about Franklin Graham?

No, was that today?

yes.

They cry they're being persecuted because they are not allowed to impose their beliefs on everyone else, and not allowed to discriminate against those they don't approve of.

Are they being fired for being Evangelical? Are they being banned from entering the country? Are they policed differently? Are they forbidden from marrying the people they love? Or is society just no longer kowtowing to their every demand? Because that's not discrimination.

Or maybe individuals who act completely inconsistently with what the gospel preaches are being called out on their hypocrisy. Oh, plus that nasty reality keeps conflicting with their superstitions

Article's example of anti-Semitism: Deadly shooting at Pittsburgh synagogue. Examples of anti-Evangelicalism: Twitter pulling "Unplanned" from the site; a student gov rep @ Berkeley lost club membership over public views on sexuality & gender. Because they are clearly the same

The idea that evangelicals are discriminated against is simply laughable. If nothing else, they are *over-represented* in the national narrative and political landscape, considering their numbers relative to influence.
-
The Christian Right are 10-15% of the population and rapidly declining and their views control a major party. Non-Religious people are 25% and rapidly rising and they are practically ignored politically.

There is a huge push for the narrative of oppression overseas (e.g. China, Nigeria, etc.) that has been popping up on the FB timelines of fundamentalist relatives of mine. I wonder if that stuff plays into this perception?

Weird. Political Evangelicism has never given a shit about brown people who are far away before.
-
It's very selective giving a shit, and totally detached from any political context. The fighting in Nigeria is over resources, and is being exacerbated by climate change, the religions just provide a handy Red Team and a Blue Team who can then fight back and forth with each other

Yeah it's weird to care about them getting beaten up or murdered for having a Bible but not caring about them starving to death due to not having any rainfall.
