Hear, hear.

Every time the Beatitudes come up, I keep wondering how it really applies to me/us. I don't suffer much other than denegration of my beliefs and ridicule as to my being a church nerd. Of late, I've wondered about the deliberate attempts to kind of conform to the "victim status" outlined here. Is it right and just to be that way?

is it a victim status or a submission issue of which you are speaking?
