"[...] What the Romans were persecuting [early Christians] for was not their religion per se; it was sedition - see, these new cultists wouldn't sacrifice to the gods for the Emperor, an act which had a similar sort of standing to saying the Pledge of Allegiance or saluting the flag during the National Anthem in the US now. I mention this because it makes the flag-idolatry of a number of Religious Right groups deliciously ironic." -- omorka, 2007-06-06
