Sunswipe posted: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.

Sunswipe posted: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. In my case, it wan't Christians being fed to lions so much as Christian moms not being able to play Candy Crush on their phones because their kids were acting up.

Source: happened to my sister when she was trying to inquire at my nephew's daycare about help for post-partum depression, they misunderstood her to the point they thought she was taking him home early for a murder/suicide and sent the cops over for a wellness check. God, and they wonder why people are so reluctant to reach out for help.
