It too was a religion that directly challenged the predominant religion of the time.

I never said I would be killed. If I mentioned murder anywhere in there, forgive me for my mistake, but I don't believe I did.
Protestants are challenged. And the religion isn't particularly popular in general. I was speaking of something similar to the Gnostics.

Martin Luther King was fighting segregation and racial prejudice, religion, IMHO is a whole 'nother ball game. Some people's lives revolve around their faith.

Judaism was the religion I was speaking of, though its quite possible that I was incorrect in saying that it was the predominant religion of the time. If so, please excuse the mistake.

I took the "shot down" remark literally rather than as a figure of speech. But hey, this is a conspiracy site...
"Martin Luther", the German theologian who started the protestant movement, not "Martin Luther King".
