True that.The difficult thing is, a lot of Japanese Christians were being killed at that time. I can understand the need to fight back and defend. Even if the corrupt politicians deserved to die--defense, yes; assassination, no. The Dutch ambassador had it right when he said foreign countries would put pressure on them if they continued to treat the Christians that way. That was the right approach. Get exposure to the international community and defend yourself.Even Jesus said if you live by the sword you will die by it. If you keep resorting to it to solve all your problems it will never end. And ugh . . . it was even more wrong that Amakusa led people on to worship him. What a cult.And . . . persecution comes with the Name. You better be sure who know what you are signing up for when you take up the cross because the god of this world is against Christ.(Is it just me or is this the REALLY OLD English dub. I got so used to the new voices. Sano sounds more juvenile here and Magdalia sounds like an older woman 0_o).   See 1 other reply
