OH THAT'S RIGHT!! No one, not only did they die, but the early church was "watered by teh blood of the martyrs"...
and... what exactly are you doing to protect anyone from anyone else??? I mean, I'm sure Ahmadinejad is absolutely terrified at the words you type on your computer!!!

I was speaking ufamistically. I am not doing anything more than supporting those aspects of our political system that are seeking to withstand islamic terror.
As far as who was protecting Peter, Paul and the rest? well, they were following their calling to bring the gospel to heathern nations that didnt want to hear it. All I am doing is trying to be a computer analyst in a large city somewhere in the middle of the country.
you cannot make a biblical analogy between men who were persecuted for their faith in christ and international politics. it doesnt work like that.
but then again, you think Karl Marx was a pretty cool guy with wonderful christian ideas.
