In reply to the discussion: Can someone explain how Evangelicals/Christians feel persecuted or attacked [View all]MiHale
(9,743 posts)10. Micro/macro thinking...
Your post exhibits what I call macro thinking, encompassing the many without or with little differences.
Micro thinking is the opposite, bringing thought into increasingly smaller groups, with increasing rejection of differences.
Then its all about scale. Most normal people do both in varying degrees. Some get out of balance maybe from social pressure, experiences, location.
My take Im no expert.

OP
The Bible tells them they are persecuted, over and over. They believe the bible is the literal Word of God.

Because they get publicly ridiculed for their hypocrisy and stupidity by those with opposing views

Mainly because they've been telling themselves that for at least 60 years (likely more)
