You might try admitting that England viciously persecuted Catholics from 1534 on, except during Queen Mary's reign. Catholics couldn't practice their faith openly and legally until the 1840s.

And non-conforming Protestants, like yourself, didn't fare much better. The main difference was that non-conforming Protestants were killed for being heretics, while Catholics were killed for being "traitors". But those executed were equally dead.

You should be evenhanded and admit that both were execrable. That is, of course, assuming you actually like the First Amendment, and don't simply wish that you could be doing the persecuting of those whose religion is different from your own.

God won’t be asking us which faith you were except did you accept Jesus as Savior and Lord.

all this bickering over which segment of believers had it worse or details of such is similar to which race had it worse.

waste of time fighting people when Bible clearly tells us our battle is in the spiritual realm not flesh and blood.
