“Moss pointed to the new U.S. health care law’s requirement that insurance companies cover contraception as an example of a law that inadvertently targeted Christians but was interpreted as a direct attack on the faith.”
Money quote is here. This is interesting. The state, justifies persecution of Christians by accepting the Christian claim that this is ‘persecution’, and attacking the analogy on the other end by saying that ‘persecution’ isn’t something that’s significant.
Keep your heads up folks you’ll be seeing more of THIS argument.
Yes, that reminds me—Radner’s criticism was not so much that she’s wrong about the first 300 years—a myth about that does exist for a lot of people. Where she’s wrong, he says, is to assume that Christians’s present claims about being persecuted are largely propaganda and exaggeration.
That strikes me as legitimate critique. But debunking does need to be done on the first 300 years. It’s too bad she didn’t leave it at that.
The early Christians “hyped” the Martyr “stories?”
Next this horrible person will be saying that they “hyped” the Resurrection and Ascension.
What has happened to Notre Dame? Just because thewon once gave a speech there, they’re now anti-Catholic?
Something’s rotten in Denmark.
