1. Nope. This is a true Christian, only true Christians are prosecuted.
2. Reading, Writing, and Multiple-choice. To my knowledge, usually only schools get accredited.
3. Psychological Tribalism (The U.S. founding fathers used to call it Factionalism).
How did these guys get through seminary school? How did you even get accredited ?
Truth be told, this guy probably didn't go to Seminary. I believe this particular denomination does not require Seminary. Having said that, Seminary is more academic in nature. The church or denomination ordains the pastor.

And why are there any people around who would even defend them?
I agree. This is bad. But it reveals human nature as a whole. Not just Christians. There's nothing about Christianity that teaches that we should do this stuff. This is what sinful human beings do--whether in the church or not.
This guy was a dope. If he wanted to become a multi-millionaire all he had to do was help his young son concoct a story about having a near-death experience and going to heaven and sitting on Jesus' lap, then get a ghost writer to write a book and call it, I don't know...Jesus Is For Real. Seems to me another broke, part-time two-bit pastor made 10 million dollars or something doing the same thing and calling the book, Heaven Is For Real. I hear they now live in a three-million dollar estate. If you're broke Jesus is your ticket to riches. Just ask Mike Murdock and the Crouches.
Easiest way to Christian riches: Open up a pizza parlor or bakery and deny service to gays. Get on the news. Wait until the liberals say something like, "Gay Americans have the right to be served." Wait for the fundamentalists to say, "The liberals are pinko commie atheists who are picking on Christians." Open a Go Fund Me-type account and wait for the donations to pour in.
If they're really lucky (they would say 'blessed') Mike Huckabee will stop by and hold church in the parking lot. If Huckabee said, "Be generous in your donations. Save America. Help your Christian brother who is being persecuted." they'd make so much coin they'd have to hire financial advisers.

You are brilliant! Couldn't send you a DM to tell you yesterday and here you are again!
Let's come up with something easier, tho...start a Church, then there's no baking involved!
The Sisters of Immaculate Suffering....? Catchy, eh?
