Kindly do not read fallacies of logic into my remarks. My point was not that little things lead to atrocities, but that even atrocities have to begin with small stuff. Suppression of Christianity has to begin with seemingly inconsequential actions, but they should not deceive you into thinking that there is no larger purpose and great consequences ahead.

Is that any clearer for you, pilgrim?

That argument leads to mutually exclusive conclusions("Allowing teachers to lead Christian prayers is the first step toward theocracy!" "Prohibiting teachers from leading Christian prayers is the first step toward pogroms!"), and thus cannot be accepted without further qualifications.
