When I was in evangelical Christianity, the world had a filter on it. Everything was interpreted through a certain narrative. No matter how happy someone seemed, if they didn't know Jesus, they were secretly miserable...
Dark forces worked behind the government and the powers of the world. You could never trust your eyes. There was an us vs them mentality, and a chosen mentality.
The troubles and the challenges we faced were mainly because we were believers, being persecuted by the world.
