You know what's funny?
Rome was tolerant of all religions. All they had to do was give animals at the shrine.
Now christians lived there, and it was reasonable that they pay a tax.
This persecution stuff is bull. No body had to get hurt, all the christians were being punished for was tax evasion, which was only a religious issue because they claimed it was.
And do you know when the real persecution began?
When a christian became emperor. That was when the main stuff of romans persecuting christians began, when a christian came to power and decided that the bible must only have one enterpretation, that christianity must only have one branch.
Pride, backstabbing, greed, power. China has NOTHING on us.
We don't even have anything in our "culture" worth standing down a tank or setting ourselves on fire for.
A cause worth dying for is a life worth living for.
That's Einstine.

This is something i read from the newspaper. The article talked about how the Jews had suffered immense humiliation when christians rule the country. They imposed a special tax on the Jewish and prevented them from getting good paying jobs.

This tells us, even is u think ur religion is on the moral path it might not be so, since favouritism are practiced among man.
