It's the same need to be a martyr that leads Christians living in a predominately Christian country to claim there's a "war on Christmas." Some people can't be happy unless they're suffering.

Is this a thing with Christians? When my oldest was in Boy Scouts, it was mainly run by evangelicals, and every outing seemed like some kind of competition to out-suffer one another.

The history of Christianity is all about martyrdom, the teachings are all about suffering now for a better afterlife, saints being killed for their beliefs, etc. Modern Christians don't know how to cope with being the majority in the first world.
