LINK In the religious freedom debate, the bullies are playing the victim

FTA: The religious freedom “debate” is really an instance of the bully, accustomed historically to throwing their weight around, trying to the victim. The bully here being religious institutions: enabled by their cheer squad in Parliament and the media, these institutions continue to enjoy privileged status under our tax system while simultaneously demanding taxpayer-funded handouts for their schools and insisting on exemptions from secular anti-discrimination laws.

For all the fuss about marriage, the moral imperative should be divorce: if the church won’t bow to the state then it’s time the state cut the church loose.

The Bullies have been playing their precious 'victim' card at every turn since religions were invented.
Xtians falsely claimed persecution by the Romans right from almost day one, where undeniable historical records show clearly that the Romans usually embraced numerous elements of the belief systems of countries within the Empire quite willingly and happily
Roman records also show clearly that Herod the Great OFFERED a bribe of 30 Shekels of Silver to the Triumvirate of Rome ( the Triumvirate of Anthony, Octavian and Lepidus)for both his right to rule as a Vassal King over Judea and Galilee and for Rome to EXTERMINATE any and ALL opposition to his rule.
The triumvirate REFUSED the bribe.
Later Herod bribed the Roman Governor with the self same offer to rid him of the gang of 13 led by one Yeyoshua bin Yusef, known criminals, murderers, arsonists, kidnappers, etc, etc, of whom 3 were sentenced to execution by crucifixion and the remainder were sent to serve as Galley Slaves until they died.
