Oh man, I haven’t seen a fish symbol in a decade.
Comment on Pandering to conservative Americans

Christianity loves to pretend it’s still a downtrodden little secret society, with their sneaky Bible verses in tiny print and their fish symbols and such. It’s hilarious fantasy play, because they are a global hegemony and spend a lot of time persecuting others.

You know, you’re right.

Trump’s latest rambling about hoping he goes to heaven ends with his assertion that we need more religion in the US. The whole thing is hilarious but that last part especially so.

They have a persecution fetish. They want so bad to be oppressed.

Well, that’s because they literally turned religious persecution into a religious fetish (as in, the anthropological term “fetish”, definition 1).
It’s ingrained in Christianity so deeply that the official doctrine of the catholic church is that only those that die from religious persecution can intercede with God.

That’s the only way they know they’re being good Christian’s. If they aren’t being persecuted then they’re doing something wrong.

They think they are too.

They see anything other than absolute cultural dominance in all parts of the world to be persecution. I remember being told in catholic school as a kid how America wasn’t being very tolerant of Christianity because people would do fun things on Sunday mornings.
Like practice your religion as you want and I’ll do the same with mine, but part of religion is that it’s yours.
