20. It's a popular fantasy among Right Wing Christians that some day they'll be living on the run

under persecution. I check out one web site which has serious discussions about how to locate a priest once the Church is suppressed, and what kind of guns Christians should be buying now to prepare. (Somehow te cognitive dissonance of martyrs carrying guns to defend themselves isn't recognized.)

Now - there are many areas across the word where religion is a marker for ethnic identity, and ethnic conflicts are presented as religious conflicts. You better believe that the Right Wingers take note of every incident involving Moslems attacking Christians. They even make up incidents and pass them around. This is proof that Christan's are facing prosecution overseas and will soon see persecution here. Somehow, they never notice the incidents of Christan's attacking Moslems, or Buddhists attacking Hindus, etc.
