I mean, non-theology pilled christians can't easily answer you how self immolation for your truth is different from praying in the whatever garden before going to be crucified. Jesus knew he would die, he was afraid and he still did it, difference is negligible

In the US they tend to be so indoctrinated on the ideology of rugged individualism (owe nothing to society, thus owed nothing) that concepts like martyrdom are just meaningless words they read in religious text. Extremely ironic because it's a concept that is near universal to all religions.
