That didn't happen in Sweden. That happened here.

What happened in Waco hardly amounts to a criminalization of Christianity.

First, the Branch Davidian situation began as a tax and firearm dispute, not a religious dispute.

Second, the Branch Davidians weren't Christians.

You can believe that Jesus Christ is the Messiah or that David Koresh is the Messiah.

If you believe the latter, you're not a Christian.

These are the End Times.

According to the Scriptures, you're not privy to enough information to make such a definitive statement.

Although the appearance on the scene of a false Christ-imitator like Koresh is suggestive.

I have heard that Waco was a test to see how America would react to the governments behavior. I noticed at the memorial service Clinton wasn't shy in talking about taking away liberties to ensure our 'safety'. At a memorial service!
