Christian Right Pretend They're Oppressed

[guno]

There is a phrase for this, it's called lying for jesus

"The religious right has many potent weapons in its arsenal—sanctimony, bigot-pandering, and dishonesty rank right up at the top—but lately, pretending to be victimized seems to top the list. We have a soundbite-driven, points-scoring political culture that resists deeper analysis of the issues, making it perfect for bad actors to muddy up the issues. All you do is accuse your opposition of doing what you, in fact, are actually doing. If you want to oppress people, claim you’re being oppressed. If you want to deprive people of their rights, whine about how your rights are supposedly under attack. The idea is to confuse audiences about who is actually oppressing who long enough that they give up actually bothering to learn the truth".

it's laughable really

the Kings of Pretend Oppression are pointing fingers at others; whining that others are pretending to be oppresed

watch this moron start crying that them pretending to be oppressed is a for of oppression against him

why else is he crying then?

I wouldn't say it's feeling oppressed, it's just noticing reality. The reality is that Christians are pretty much the only group it's fine to trash nowadays. There is no true oppression in this country, there has been however. Christians are not oppressed, homos are not oppressed, black folks are not oppressed, woman are not oppressed, etc. We all just wish we had our way, and right now the left owns the vast majority of the media, so you hear more Christian bashing and that's about it.

Anyone in America claiming to be oppressed should be laughed at & made fun of. Can't stand whiners.

What I would tell Christians everywhere is it's mind over matter. If you don't mind? It won't matter. The good news is Christianity would not be bashed if it were not a very great threat to the enemies of America. Communism fears Christianity because it has the power to crush it. No other faith, no other book ( the Bible ) is so feared by Communists as genuine Christianity is. That ought to tell folks something.

Oppressed?

Not likely.

Loathed by some?

Inevitable.

Sounds just like the tactic called "lying for homos" the left wingers use. Isn't that ironic...

I don't believe there is any people group in the world that has been so oppressed as the Jewish people. They are also among the most resilient, most optimistic, most compassionate of people. Adversity either makes or breaks a person. It is a poor specimen that cannot handle the pressures of adversity.

Genuine Christianity produces conquerors and you cannot oppress a conqueror anymore than you can stop the wind from blowing. It isn't possible. We won't know who the conquerors are until the battle heats up and we are not there yet for America. Stay tuned.

Do you know drama! You work for TNT? My word, stir the shit.

You are a divider, you like the drama, you like the bigotry, hatred and greed, otherwise, you have nothing to post and your life would be worthless.
