Subject: RE: BS: Christian Persecution
I think it is Keith. However the danger in the real world is international political and media attention can wittingly or unwittingly put Christianity on a pedestal which, as history shows, started many of the problems in the first place.

I was always taken by something Archbishop Desmond Tutu said. He said that when white settlers came to southern Africa, they had the Bible and the blacks had the land. They invited the blacks to close their eyes and pray. When they opened them again, the blacks had the Bible and the settlers had the land.
