Why would anyone care? What relevance does it have to the current "lone wolf" incidents?

None. I have no idea why the MajGenl thinks it does.

Ah yes - the fact that I thought Econo's post was funny is perhaps pointless, if one assumes that amusement is itself of no value. But that's a rather personal thing. I enjoyed it.

I used A.D. 200 as a benchmark to avoid accusations of excluding the early Christians from the discussion (it took them a while to get going). It seemed an appropriate date but perhaps I should have stated it... it crossed my mind but then so do random electronic impulses.

Rather more importantly, isn't that your point - that throughout history nutcases have attached themselves to whatever seemed to be the religious/political fad du jour?
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts
