    You have to remember, a lot of American Christians are descended from European Christians who were so extreme and weird that no one wanted them around, so they fled to the Americas to escape “persecution.” So, these Christian persecution complexes go way back. They’re a part of our history. Well, not all of ours, but some.

      Yeah, it’s funny hearing the history of certain supermarket products that go like “these were original food items for cultists that fled to America”. Kellogs stands out as a big one.
