This is only a test, a rite of purification and Christians should rather prepare for the best, as in this wonderful aria by Bach,
"Christen müssen auf der Erden" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NsWscJiiNE

Translation (from http://www.vmii.org/bwv-44-sie-werden-euch-in-den-bann-tun/3-christen-muessen-auf-der-erden):

"Christians must be true disciples of Christ on earth. They wait for Him at all times, until they happily undergo martyrdom, exile, and bitter pain."

1 being Christian,
2 being Male,
3 being white,
4 being conservative.

For example, Shorten was not charged with rape even though the evidence against him was no less than that against Mr Lehrmann who is on trial for the rape of Brittany Higgins.

BH has been caught out so often in her testimony that if she told me the time I would check it.
