There Will Be Blood

By Stefano Gennarini, J.D. | April 15, 2014

Ross Douthat argued a few weeks back that he does not think conservatives are in for persecution in the future, only a loss of position or influence in society. When I read his column my gut instinct told me that forcing Christians and other social conservatives out of the public life of a country is a form of persecution, whether or not you call it that. But then I thought that Ross Douthat might be right. Assuming that the liberals do run away with the future of this country, perhaps it won’t be the case that Christians will be fed to the lions as in roman times, and I gave Douthat the benefit of the doubt. But the comments to one of his latest columns in the NY Times website are a further sign that a full fledged persecution may not be that far around the corner if liberals are allowed to keep control of our government and institutions for much longer.
