It's exacerbated by current mainstream culture, which takes a dim view of the evangelical side of Christianity, but even so, Christ said repeatedly that Christians will suffer for his sake -- that the world will persecute Christians for their faith. Fortunately, he also said that he will not abandon those who profess him, and that blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake.

very true. that didn't come to mind while i was writing the post, probably should of, but thanks for the reminder. it's just one of those things... you have to wonder why people don't go, hey, why DO we persecute christians.... kind of like the ongoing arab-israeli conflict. started way back with Abraham, Isaac, and Abraham's other son, I forget his name. a lot of stuff can be explained by christianity.... but that's a whole nother post, eh?
