Be a martyr.
Since the age of the Disciples, the True Religion had always had a culture of martyrdom, where those who were persecuted and welcomed death were often worshipped and praised by others.
In the Church, there has always been a unique glory belonging to martyrs.
Many devout and zealous Priests and Believers were always prepared to become martyrs. They were always looking forward to persecution, sometimes even actively seeking it, in hopes of becoming martyrs to exchange for glory after death.
But what if, after martyrdom, there wasn't any glory to speak of?
Not only was there no glory to speak of, but one's reputation after death could also be humiliated and despised by others.
Given that, it's unknown how many would shy away from such a prospect.
People always seek benefits and avoid harm. They would gloriously sacrifice themselves for glory, yet live a life of compromise because of contempt. Look, how simple humanity is, as simple as animals.
