For some reason there are “Christians and conservatives” who exist simply to have a persecution complex. The juror who stepped down from the rittenhouse trial over what essentially boiled down to him believing in the constitution is a perfect example of this. It’s also why leftists lash out in glee, for there are plenty of self flagellating faggots on the right that bend over and say harder daddy.
Consider the history of martyrdom. How the Bible is read to tell people to rejoice in being persecuted, reviled and hated. It can give the idea that being outspoken and completely transparent about yourself and your faith is the way to go. As it is, it's not really clear when discretion would be applied.
Martyrdom is for when you are truly under the boot, like the Christians of the 1st and 2nd century. Amusingly the problem of people "pursuing martyrdom" became a problem the moment Christianity was decriminalized in the Roman Empire. It took effort by various Patriarchs to tell people "Cut that shit out, if they're not trying to feed you to lions, don't volunteer." Seems we're doing the same thing in reverse now.
That was actually 8chan, a site that "became to be known for racism and child pornography." Still that image is the best response to modern Christianity I've ever read.

Obligatory Nice Jesus
That's a great series of posts. Makes me miss the old 4chan. The new one is too... nice.
