Hebrews 4:12 New International Version 12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

No Christian is (or should be) surprised about this.
THEY HATE US CUZ THEY AINT US -Matthew 17:17
This was a hypothetical question.
I think you meant a rhetorical question. But yes, most of us know.
The fact that no other belief system is as persecuted, mocked, and derided on a worldwide scale is proof alone. The world can't stand the name of Jesus and so we need to be louder, always.
I don't know why Christians are singled out. They're just as asleep as the clueless normies. I wish there was a way to pay tithing directly to God by skipping over the middleman which is my church.
You can. Take your tithe and use it to help someone in need each week. Have a direct impact on someone and tell them you're doing it for God. Great way to sow for the kingdom and create opportunities to minister to people.
Pay buy check and put in the memo where you want the monies to go. Missions, youth groups Womens ministry. Check in the the office a month later and ask to see the statement for the area you assigned the money. Hold them accoutable.
Donate to a local FOOD PANTRY instead.
Money goes straight to the needy in the community. Not much middle-man. God understands very well.
Because the truth of Christ crucified is the single greatest threat against the deception that the enemy has the world under.
That's why prayer in schools is banned, church and state separation, proselytizing at work is banned, Jesus is mocked in pop culture, covid measures preventing Christians from gathering, the social justice movement used as an excuse to villify us for standing by our beliefs. It's why famous people "ironically" glorify satan in their acceptance speeches, music videos, commercials, etc. You get the idea.
I see your point; and it's a very good one.
Because Christ shows you how to escape the madness and help others escape it, too.
He teaches you how to leave anger and open up to the higher vibrations of Heaven on Earth.
That starves the Beast. The Beast consumes long, slow vibrations.
Christ also teaches you how to have superpowers: heal the sick, raise the dead, walk on water.
If we all became just like Christ overnight, the lizards would die out. All the children would be saved.
Well ok. So the Pastor in Canada who was thriwn in jail for 30+ days and the Pastor on the Streets of London being arrested for preaching the word of God is Americanism. Hmm.
