When I was in my early teens and a faithful member of an evangelical church, I was told that if I “witnessed” at school and was made fun of, I was being persecuted for my belief. Modern American evangelicals have a very low bar of persecution. Probably, the most delusional religionists on this board count being mocked or taken to school over their interpretations of the Bible to be equal to being put to death by lions in the Rome Colosseum. I guess it makes it seem more justified to feel persecuted for their delusional belief, because only they can really understand the true nature of suffering that Christ experienced. It must make the journey more interesting for them and give them a sense of purpose to suffer more than they really need too. In the process they make it more difficult for themselves and at times for others. I guess you can't keep a mangy mutt down. The Catholics even made up a name for it 'Catholic Guilt and they seem to revel in it. Some even wear hair shirts, whip themselves and do stuff like that mad dude in The Da Vinci Code! It always reminds me of the same mentality as the sexual proclivity of the B&D and SM crowd only the Catholics get 'rapture' as the 'happy' ending.
