| Civilians | speking about the lions... 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." http://www.olph.com/lions.htm 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. |
