Well … a lot Christians love to suffer. It’s rooted in the faith that life is suffering

[–] QueenHawlSera@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago

It's not that life is suffering it's that God puts challenges in a Christian's life to test their faith, the more challenges the more holy they are. They also teach that the unholy would persecute them out of "jealousy"

It's why the Christofascists WANT to be persecuted. It validates their delusions.

No, that's Buddhism. Christians like to make other people suffer. Ideally immigrants, minorities and queers, but they will settle for anyone. Their own children usually.

It's Christian, too, as said throughout the Bible. Their relief from suffering is in the afterlife.
