The "bashing of Christians" will not stop.It will become far worse and in the end most Christians will really suffer for Jesus.The "god of this world" wants it no other way....and since he has so many trailing him he'll mostly get it.Wherever we are in this world,if we follow Jesus Christ we have a neon bullseye in the middle of our back.
Every believer needs to put on the "helmet of salvation" because our adversary is attacking the minds of God's dear children!
Ephesians 6:17 "And take the helmet of salvation..."..... "These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God" 1 John 5:13
Our adversary is going to sorely test our minds on a scale that few of us could possibly imagine.
2 Peter 1:10 "Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall"
If you do not have on that helmet you will fall.
"It will not stop until the bashers leave or shut up. And they won’t because they are ignorant and no matter how many facts you put in front of them, they will never acknowledge or change."
In the end it won't matter will it.You either have that helmet on or you don't.
Of course in my own case, speaking of "helmets" -- there are those around here who would say the phrase nutshell be fitting. ;^')
I get that from those who say they are Christians.
Some adopt the arguments of the atheists, it seems...
When in my own critiques --- I'm usually aiming for certain and particular aspects of "religious" stuff to criticize.
It can be difficult to avoid being thought to be throwing out the baby with the bathwater -- unless one goes to the effort to make exceptions to criticisms tendered, and acknowledge generalized validity for faith (in Christ) held by others.
With all the rest of the noisiness that is sorted through -- it is easy to forget and/or experience difficulty for finding just the right way to execute that last step.
