9. I've Felt for a Long Time
that Christianity's message is subverted when it comes from a position of strength. It started on this path when the Roman Emperor Constantine claimed that God revealed a cross in the sky to him and said, in hoc signo vinces, 'in this sign, conquer.' After that, Christianity became the state religion of the Roman Empire, and it's been drifting farther from its spiritual roots ever since - giving us a series of disasters including the crusades, the inquisition, divine right of kings, justification for slavery, manifest destiny, etc.

Those 'Christians' in this country who claim persecution are just upset that they don't own EVERYthing. I would go so far as to to doubt their Christianity outright!
