I figure, woe to those who mess with Jesus or his teachings to advance their selfish political agendas.

One would think so, especially after reading the Gospels.

The best I can tell, Christianity never sought to enforce its creed among the unwilling before the conversion of Constantine. So Reconstructionists can only trace their Christian roots to him. Before him their historical path leads not to Jesus of Nazareth and his God, but to Caesar and Zeus.

I would agree with this, but perhaps others with better historical knowledge can point to prior instances of Christians trying to dominate others via the use of force.
