Christians Called A ‘Cancer’? This Is How Persecution Begins | Truth Over Trend w/ Matthew Maher

When Christians are labeled a “cancer,” it’s not just criticism — it’s dehumanization. In this video, Pastor Matthew Maher responds to rhetoric that paints Christianity as inherently hateful and morally corrupt. Disagreement is one thing. But history shows a dangerous pattern when language shifts from debate to disease metaphors. First, a group is caricatured. Then, they are assigned words and motives they never spoke. Then, hostility toward them feels justified. That’s how persecution begins — one lie at a time. Biblical Christianity does not teach hatred. But when lies about Christianity are believed, hatred toward Christians can suddenly feel righteous. Truthful speech gets recast as “hate speech,” not because it is hateful, but because truth itself is now hated. In an Isaiah 5:20 world — when good is called evil and evil is called good — persecution no longer feels wrong. It feels moral. This isn’t about politics. It’s about pattern recognition.
