If I'm not mistaken, both Jesus, Paul, and Peter made it very clear to the young believers that they would be persecuted. And up until the legalizaiton of Christianity in ROme, Christians were persecuted relentlessly. It is somewhat of a surprise, then, that Christians are so upset at the recent ban on Nativity Scenes in the Washington State Capitol BUilding.
In some ways, we might have sympathy for the offended Christians. They have, after all, enjoyed a relatively nice time throughout the history of the United States. They have been, and still are, an overwhelming majority under the red, white, and blue.
Perhaps this is a perfect time for them to get back to their roots.
