In reply to the discussion: Can someone explain how Evangelicals/Christians feel persecuted or attacked [View all]unblock
(52,486 posts)14. They feel "persecuted" if a sitcom has a gay character in it
Their starting point is a fantasy where the whole world is white, Christian, etc. they take offense at *anything* that doesn't fit into that fantasy.
So laws that prevent them from forcing Jesus and straightness and so on on non-believers and gay people are an attack on them and Christianity, in their worldview

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)
