a serious question

Well then.....

If they invented it.....why did they kill their own people who practiced it under the guise of it *subverting the family*?


How can an empire divided against itself stand?

when you talk of them murdering christians, in what era? nero?

you gotta remember rome was basically america of back in the day in the sense of the cultural mix.

when people were sentenced to death, they could come to many deaths, and sure the arena as well. but the christians who were slaughtered you have to remember were basically jews. jewish people who accepted christ and followed the gospels and shit. jews also like money. romans like money. conflicts. do away with these meddling christians, i'm nero and i'm psycho

but word constantine and the invention of the bible was over 200 years after nero's time.

christianity naturally took a foothold, i'm pretty sure i'm pretty high, but i think constantine was the one who made it the state religion. which is like 270 ad. if we take tacitus or josephus at their word, which was derived from others because neither was born until after jesus' death, but anyways, they have the first/only historical viewpoints of him existing in the early 100's ad or whatever.

nero was before that.

so christianity took basically 200 years before constantine "saw a cross in the sky" before a battle, which he won, and he proclaimed christianity the true religion or whatever of rome, and then convened all the shit to make the bible

so the christians you're referring to are from before the creation of the new testament.

as we see it today.

the scriptures were there, but like i mentioned only a fraction were kept. and they utilized it to keep control. and each nation after it really. the barbarians who sacked the west and shit all of the western world basically grew to accept it as their main religion eventually

if its not broke don't fix it.

the many gods of many cultures didnt work as well in the new empirical paradigm of their age of ignorance.
