    The christian persecution complex is a primary reason for abolition of Abrahamic religions. That complex is caused by the religion itself; it’s literally written into their canon. You’re advocating for spoiling and enabling an unruly child.

      I’m not saying I’m feeding into their persecution complex. I was saying that you are. Telling them that the religion they identify so strongly with should be destroyed just makes them feel justified in their belief.

        “THIS religion is the best and rightest one, and people will hate you for it!”

        "No it isn’t "

        “SEE??!!! I TOLD YOU SO!!!”

          Agreed, that does happen. It’s because christians are primed to believe that outside questioning if it is done in an aggressive way is persecution. Thats why they shut down and won’t hear your arguments when you come at them in an aggressive way.

          I don’t think that it is circular. They believe they are being persecuted>someone does something that feels like persecution to them>they feel they have confirmed their persecution. Im not saying it makes sense. It just is how I’ve seen it and even experienced it when i was a mormon.
