Dave, society and government does not imprison people or crucify them if such persons were not considered "obnoxious" in some way. Think about it. Jesus was convicted of being seditious. Realize that when you read the Scriptures, you are reading the positive side of the event. It would be like reading Carroll's account of a preaching event rather than Pagan Wolf's take on that same preaching event. All the apostles experienced problems with people complaining about their preaching and with authorities feeling the need to imprison them, whip them, and sometimes execute them. Why? Do you really believe that it was because they were peacefully and quietly going door to door and talking with those who would invite them in? Peace be with you.
