I do have just one point of constructive citicism: The references to McDonalds and Coca-Cola annoyed me a bit, since they didn't seem to fit into the context of a Christian response to the Empire. I realise that their mentions were casual and that they weren't really the point, but all the same I think we ought to be a little more mindful of the example we give to others. On top of being a major corporation, McDonalds is one huge example of a fast-food industry relying upon intensive factory farming which not only bears appalling animal welfare records, but also churns out its products at a huge cost to the environment and the earth's resources. Similarly, Coca-Cola has come under serious allegations in recent years for depleting water supplies in developing nations and leaving them polluted and poisonous. I really didn't think that these were the best examples of how to love our enemies, if buying from these institutions comes at the cost of loving our neighbours. For a website which encourages Christians to be set apart from the systems of the Empire, it struck me as a little off to find references to two companies which are placed firmly within it.

Beyond that one point, though, I loved everything else.
