I mean
Alaric was a Christian
The Visigothic and Ostrogothic kingdoms were Christian
Bro pls stop oh my goodness
Plus you fundamentally misunderstand the Germanic migrations
These were not large populations of people
And they had already been moving into these territories for a century prior
Remove the enter key from your keyboard or throw your phone against the wall this hurts to watch
lmao
many converted after getting on to the italian peninsula, thats not to say that the franks and germans at that stage were all christian
You're right. Clovis converted to Cheistianity, the first king of the Franks.
What's your point
Are you saying the Dark Ages was like a decade bro
And that's the only time we can isolate it to since pagans supposedly resurged???
Source pls
all of this shit sounds like it happened before the "dark ages" began
aka the middle ages
which is what we are taught by schools were the dark ages
Whenever Germans became mercenaries in the Roman army if they weren't Christians before they usually became Christians after
And many successful raiders were former Roman mercenaries
Paganism inly survived in the northern parts which is why the Franks would launch crusades into Saxony
But there was no diaspora of pagans that caused a decline of Christianity in the Roman Empire my guy
You should be given the retard role ngl
But yeah the Germans "at this stage" had been Christian for two centuries
They didn't all miraculously convert when they settled in Italy
What a meme
Pagan shit was restricted to the scandinavians and baltics during the "dark ages" if im correct
Was dead in Scandinavia by the 11th century basically
And similarly in the Baltics a century later
baste Teutonic Order
@CronoSaturn source
irma has an extremely high iq
For my part I don't think Arianism is Christian because it denies the essential nature of Christ.
It is basically deism with extra steps.
@CronoSaturn I want to have a rational educated debate with you sensei please don't ignore me I'll be cordial
@εïз irma εïз i wasnt snubbing you i was just having a convo with a mate and ive looked into things a little more
you raise good points and certainly its less black and white then I first imagined it to be but the decline of the roman empire saw a shrinking of christian influence before christian institutions would then gain a foothold with the institutions post roman empire
france saw that transition relatively early but were earlier overrun by pagans
other parts of europe saw differing rates there with irish christianity developing independantly of the catholic church to a significant degree before being brought back into the fold later and england dropping out before converting in a manner similar to france
