Why do you hate it? :3
Matthew 5:10-12
“Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. ‘Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.’”

[Kiliann]

That's like asking "Why don't you like standing in lava?"
Nearmagic- of course we hate being bashed around! Just because we are blessed from being persecuted doesn't mean we have to like it.
That's silly! We are persecuted, but we don't need to like it. We are still blessed all the same by it.

Paul liked being persecuted. Well, I doubt he liked it, but he knew it was good for him.

2 Corinthians 12:9-10
"And He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong."

He knew that being persecuted let God's power be known, he didn't hate it, because of that reason.

Edit: I'm Paranoid Arrow now, please change it!

He may take pleasure in being persecuted, but if he actually liked being hurt and injured and persecuted, then he was not a model christian.
We should not enjoy pain. We shouls just be able to bear through it and be glad knowing that it has done good. Not be glad because we are being hurt.
