The answer is simple. They killed them.
My question is this: if the way Christians are treated in modern times (ie having to bake cakes for lesbians) counts as persecution then what the FUCK do you call killing anyone who doesn't agree with you? How can any Christian fail to recognize that their perceived persecution pales in comparison to the shit they've been dishing out for centuries?
I assume the people who don't want to bake cakes have spent very little time murdering folks who disagree and ruling the western world.
People are individuals, and should be treated as such. A 21st Century Christian isn't responsible for all acts of Christianity in the history of the religion. That's just a dumb idea.
In the same vein, I don't feel responsible for atheism stuff in the USSR, slavery in the US, or whatever bullshit my ancestors were up to in yesteryear. None of it has anything to do with me.
