One other slight problem with Romans vs. Christians was that allegiance to Rome required swearing allegiance to the current emperor, a violation of Jesus' teaching. The current crop of 'fundamentalists' seem to have overlooked that fact. The have no problem swearing allegiance to just about anything or anyone except Jesus.

About them early Quakers... The story in my family goes back to Gregg, a family that was run out of the Scottish highlands where they were known as McGregor. Yep, as in Rob Roy. They found religion and settled with William Pitt near Delaware, moved to North Carolina, became part of the Regulator Movement that sounded 'taxation without representation...' lingo, were squashed by England and loyalists, and ran to the midwest saying 'this country aint what it used to be.' Funny thing is that my dad still says this! -g- So, I guess some of the Quakers were fighters...at least in my family.-gg- cheers --marc
