"I'm perfectly happy being 28 and single"
Vee's livestream was brilliant.
Well worth a watch.
if jesus was a story made by the romans why did romans persecute christians?
my first as well
"hey here's a new religion for you to believe that should ultimately pacify you." "but if you believe it we'll kill you."
Perhaps it was meant as a warning, that Roman citizens shouldn't worship Christ?
As Christ was made an example of, and the Romans justified the execution with the fact that Christ's teachings would have made the Empire and its people weak.
or it doesn't really make much sense
Either Christ did exist and the Romans executed him to prove a point, or they imagined him and told that story as a form of teaching and guidance to Roman citizens.
Either way, it was intended to discourage Christian worship.
well they actually executed him as a jewish heretic
enforcing jewish laws
also, everyone quotes the "turn the other cheek" but then ignore Luke 22
```He said, “This is different. Get ready for trouble. Look to what you’ll need; there are difficult times ahead. Pawn your coat and get a sword.```
@Machinimal @Arrias presumably because the other Emperors forgot all about it
ahh, yes the grand conspiracy to start a new religion apparently only known of by the emperor
in the article (if you read it), the scholar says that Jesus was allegedly created so people wouldn't follow a far more zealous sect of Judaism
because tasks like that are often performed by a singular individual
```Mr Atwill added: "They surmised that the way to stop the spread of zealous Jewish missionary activity was to create a competing belief system.```
I read that
.......which would explain why the Jews killed Jesus
but it doesn't address the issue of why they then persecuted the religion they're trying to spread
you can doubt all you want
the site was shit as well
so many fucking adds
Well then if Jews killed Jesus, fuck the Jews.
But why it would be Romans executing him then is beyond me.
I see what you mean.
Dunno, Rome persecuting Christianity seems really....contradictory from what I know of other religions citizens followed
christianity was adopted by rome 300 or so years after jesus's death
a fire in rome was supposedly blamed on christians
