We Need Warrior Ministers

“No God, no religion, can survive ridicule. No political church, no nobility, no royalty nor other fraud, can face ridicule in a fair field and live.” Mark Twain The Romans understood this concept two thousand years ago, and used it to forge an empire. The incomparable Roman legions would conquer a region, execute the leaders by lining them up and executing every tenth man, where the term decimate originates. Then Romans would be put in positions of power to impose Roman laws on the tribes. The new leaders used ridicule to overturn traditions, respect for the former leaders, the native language and religion. They knew that to destroy a culture, the language, religion and traditions of the people had to be replaced by a mindset loyal to Rome.
