They invaded Europe!
The crusades killed more pagan Europeans than Muslims
I don’t agree that Christianity “invaded”. They came and preached a new path to the poor and downtrodden, and due to their nonviolence and lack of resistance to being punished and struck repeatedly, their principles became more appealing.
Although I do not agree with the paranoia of paganism within Christianity. That is more of suppression than it is holy.
The Monks can become warriors, because it is within their blood.
Peace must be maintained, even if it means killing. And the Knights of the Crusades knew this.
That's how it started, yes
They went to the holy land to start hospitals, charities and kitchens.
And they came out as Warrior cultures.
But then European xtians in the form of crusaders killed their own volk
If we observe the warrior culture of the Teutonic Knights and observe the Berserker of Norse-Germanic culture, what difference is there?
Religion and origin.
But the similarities?
They are known as fierce warriors, can snap into blind rage to where one man can take down a shield wall in his state of frenzy. The Teutonic Knights took on 2/3rds of the Slavic world and majority of the pagan world In one war, even fighting **Catholic** Poland who spearheaded the pagan coalition to end the Teutonic order.
If the Teutonic Knights started as monks, they ended as warriors on par with pagan berserkers.
We can sit here for hours and debate over the Semitic origin and the extent of its influence, but we’re getting no where by doing this tango.
Your previous argument is incredibly disingenuous to two cultures
The similarities end at warrior culture
But it isn’t saying they’re the same.
The principle behind it is that the traditions of old, the warrior culture can still thrive.
Christianity overall has evolved to not be the same as it once was.
It's ideals remain the same
The same as they were at its jewish inception
Least we forget, it was the warrior culture of (Celtic) Asturias that saved Iberia after the downfall of the Visigoths to stop the Moors.
It's subversive, entirely
I believe Christianity now as it was in Ancient Rome, fully European. It’s only sin being anti-Pagan to where it’s knowledge is lost or muddied.
If we strip away the pagan paranoia, Christianity’s main vice is gone and we’re only left with theology difference.
Wow bro
How long was Rome about before xtianity?
Depends, the City State? kingdom? republic?
And how long did it remain after its implementation?
If we look at religion then it’s a black and white my dude.
Rome survived another thousand years after Rome fell.
It survived up till 1453.
Constantinopolis is the crowning achievement of Christian Rome, it is the very beacon of Christian Europe’s accomplishment, power and prestige.
And now it’s still gone.
Built by the pagan Constantine, he is the first Roman emperor to covert to Christianity as in battle an angel showed him his symbol, the Chi Rho.
And now his city, is occupied.
