When you think about it, christians should be pretty happy people:
- In their minds they are guaranteed to go to an eternal paradise when they die
- They are the only people who live up to the 'true' moral standards
- A sky wizard can grant them wishes
- They have had their way for centuries, being allowed to persecute anybody they don't like it without repercussions
- A 2000 year old book does all their thinking for them.
Yet recently they have a newfound obsession with [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecutory_delusion]pretending to be oppressed[/url]. Note: Just because your christian privilege is slowly being taken away does not mean you are being oppressed, being called out on your BS also doesn't indicate any kind of oppression.
Just to provide one example of exceptionally severe cognitive dissonance by christians, we can look at the case of those bigoted bakery owners refusing to bake cakes for homosexuals. Apparently it would be all out oppression to stop the bakery from doing this, but limiting services to a specific segment of the population based on their sexuality is freedom personified (this requires quite a lot of mental gymnastics to get your head around).
If anything, christians should be thankful that they are still granted the freedom to practice their religion despite the fact that it is cancerous to society. If oppression was actually happening then surely people would have just gotten sick of it by now and banned it?
