Throwing Christians to the Lions
"Because the Romans believed that the favor of the gods was necessary
to the security of the state, the Christians were believed to be not
only impious and anti-religious but unpatriotic as well. In addition,
many Christians refused to serve in the army because they might have to
kill other human beings and thus violate the commandments of Christ.
Similarly, some Christians refused to hold government posts, engage in
commerce, or loan money because they saw these activities as lending
approval to a corrupt earthly system."

Times have changed though. Now Christians engage in these activities
quite routinely. They occupy high office, wage war and pursue riches.
As a matter of fact, they have become undistinguishable from the
Romans. And the "corrupt earthly system" is presided by a pope.

Of course, now they are safe from the lions.
