the only Imperial persecution of Christians seemed to have occurred over the span of approximately....63 years, from 250 AD (when Decius administered an Edict because he was a superstitious fuck who wanted to beat the Goths) to about 313 AD (the Edict of Milan, which overruled Decius' edict and mandated that citizens treat Christians nicely)

though the case could be made that that period of solely persecuting Christians was far shorter, from 303 to 306, during the reign of Diocletian

Regardless, if Jesus were a figment of the imagination of a Roman Emperor who decided to make sure the Jews couldn't get TOO out of hand, then it's not TOO far out of the question to assume that other Emperors simply didn't know (since there were a few emperors after the alleged life of Jesus that simply waltzed into Rome with an army, this seems the most likely reason why some later Emperors didn't know)

I'd think that if you're trying to subversively disseminate a new religion, it would require a network large enough that even if someone did a complete and fresh takeover, it'd be nigh impossible to do so without learning of the plan

Dunno, the truth is sometimes stranger than fiction

agreed

and a lot of the stuff we actually know about Jesus is from like the 2nd century AD iirc

to my knowledge, we don't have mention of a 'Jesus' from records of that time period

isn't Tacitus one of the first Roman accounts of Christianity?

I think so?

Styx correctly pins the stupidity of "Groypers"

I've also called Groypers as a left-wing op. Because only the left benefits from spergs going after Trump fans within Republicans.

They're leaving the never Trumpers alone, and they're leaving the Democrats alone.

And I'm in no way a fan of Israel or globalism, but the alternatives (never-Trumpers Bushite style and Democrats) are even worse.

There are ways to critique Kirk being a shitty globalist that doesn't come of as "Debate this Holocaust denialist". If Groypers were fixated on topic of Kirk being shit (which he is on globalism and Israel) they would **NOT** ask to debate Fuentes.

Because "debate Fuentes" is barely better than "debate Spencer".

Also, it sounds a lot like: debate Sam Seder.

The Holocaust denial wasn’t even a point until you guys brought it up

That wasn’t even in the discussion to begin with

Or, debate Enoch, debate Allsup, etc. from days when Sargon entertained the spergs.

@snake **Does - not - matter**

Perception over reality.

Yeah yeah, you can just keep ignoring people
