    Matt. 5:10-12 has a lot to answer for. “Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

    Bunch of wealthy Americans trying to heavensmax whilst ignoring the parts about giving all your money to the poor or not being a colossal dick, is why we so frequently hear them indulging in these insane persecution complexes, as though they think they can trick God.
