"Any history buff knows, that this type of stuff is exactly what happened in Rome.
Christians were mocked, spat upon, and look down upon for merely being Christians."

Yes, and then the Christians took over the Roman society. The Vatican is still there, as a remnant of the Holy Roman Empire. History is good, but only if you actually know it. Your parallel is flawed.

I was not trying to draw a parallel. What I was pointing out was the murderous treatment of a certain group of people for their beliefs.
The Nazi's did the same thing to the Jews. If the Jews had taken over Germany (WWII) would that have made the attempts to exterminate their race fair game?

Going back to history.
The Rome that the Christians ruled was in a rapid decline. Certainly not the Rome of Julius Caesar.
