A perfect example of how theists really fail to understand history... In this case as usual.. written by the Victor's.. The new testament is the ultimate work of propaganda.. Bad enough believing in nonexistent super beings and impossible physics... now they buy into pro Roman tosh written by Greeks

Those Christiani, despite being wasted to feed even lions in Collosseums were very peaceful and against violence, giving their other cheek to a slapper on those days, some years before engisitionist and nazi monsters popped up to ruin and destroy their 'good' reputation into the direction of 'evil'!

Easy there…it wasn’t until Constantine protected the Christians from prosecution of which his mother was a believer… Gospels weren’t written until 40 years after the Resurrection

Two thoughts: 1. The clearest proof Jesus was divine is that He said things no human could have conceived in His time and region —like “love your enemies” and “do to others as you’d have them do to you.” 2. Everything Jesus taught is the opposite of MAGA.

The dumbest atheist think they're more intelligent than the smartest believers simply because they don't have faith. IKR?

I think that Pliny the Younger was a rather reasonable person who was simply trying to maintain law and order in the empire.

Christianity, the downfall of every society. Wait until the Christians lose control of Washington. It will never be back in power.

If Jesus Christ was born from an irregular circumstance, why not look up the person in the village who's last name is Christ? He took his last name from someone. Don't need Columbo for this one.

It's fascinating to think how that first encounter would shape history. From being a fringe group to becoming a dominant religion, the journey of Christianity is quite the tale of resilience and transformation. Makes you wonder how many more 'strange' beliefs might be lurking today!
