That wasn't really the point I was trying to make, and I was talking historically. At any rate, Christianity certainly did gain much of its power over time through military action and violence and yet there is still a group that years to be victims. There are many examples of violence in history: the Spanish inquisition, the killing of Indians by Puritans; the stoning of witches by Puritans; and the support southern churches gave slavery in their sermons, especially during the Civil War.
The vast majority of Christians (and I said that in the post you're commenting on) don't identify with that part of Christian history or the pockets of Christian violence today. But, this thread was about the Christian who need to be a victim (which I said I think really only exists among a relatively small group of white conservative Christians), and my point was n agreement with the article, which points out, "Who can resist the deliciousness of having both the upper hand of power and the righteousness of the oppressed?" -- a good description of those Christians in the US who see themselves as victims.
