Endless quote tweets and responses just mindlessly agreeing. Quite baffling.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of young Iranians are disillusioned by Islam because of their government. I certainly don’t see it out of the realm of possibility that there are lots of converts although Christianity is still at like 1% of the country. A drop in a bucket for now.

      1. There's zero evidence Christians aren't just some tiny minority in Iran.

      2. Why would disillusionment over Islam make people convert to Christianity and not just, you know, be secular?

        To add to point number 2: I don't know any Iranians who are disillusioned who didn't just drop religion all together

        Christians constantly do this shit, simultaneously oppressed but also on the rise in the millions for any given country.

        It's a pathetic thing.

        Same reason western kids hailed satan for about 7 years before graduating high school

        1. That’s exactly what I said lol
        2. because some people seek alternative groups, and Christianity is legal in Iran.

        Hell, my ex-girlfriend from over 10 years ago is Iranian and her whole family converted to Christianity. Guess I should have asked why but I guess I don’t really care

      I certainly don't see it out of the realm of possibility that everyone in Japan converts to Mormonism, it's still a ludicrous deranged claim to advance let alone take seriously

        It’s the second largest minority in Iran. There’s plenty of articles out there about it. Here’s one from an Arabic source so it should have less bias towards Christianity

          Why would the source being "Arab" have less bias towards Christianity? Not all Arabs are Muslims, and the middle eastern population of Muslims makes up ~20% of the global Muslim population.

          Edit: "Radio Farda is the Persian language broadcaster at Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, "

          "Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, an independent news company which receives a grant from the U.S. Congress through the United States Agency for Global Media."

          Your source is absolutely biased btw. This is from their about page. Also: bateman-business-card lol at confusing Arabic with Farsi.

            I’m not sure if you’re purposefully being dense but only 5% of the Arabian population is Christian.

            Like I said there are many articles that exist out in the wild. Don’t be a tool.

              Bro you're the one who believes there's some secret mass conversion to Christianity in Iran, like who the fuck are you calling "tool" while believing that deranged nonsense

              Do you even hear yourself, lmao?

              Arabs outside the middle east that have moved aren't included in your estimate, dumbass. Arab Christians move out of the middle east at higher rates than Muslims, Darze, etc.

              Also your source is still dogshit and is absolutely biased, you still didn't address that.

                You sound like an angry little man. Guess that’s why you’re here trying to be Tommy toughnuts online.

                You’re addressing things I never mentioned. Put your Doritos down and try to follow the conversation.
