How much does @nobacon love christ?

[JebJoh]

Because if there's anything the Romans wanted, it's more religious disorder in the region. That's totally the kind of image the new Flavian dynasty wanted to project, instead of a completely and forever subjugated Judaea thanks to their handiwork.

All the Roman’s did was promote this stupid religion while conquering everyone. Josephis was a traitor and a tool of the Romans. He crammed Jesus and James into his story because he was told to do it. It was completely out of context. Maybe you should google better.

Denying Jesus was a true historical figure and religious leader who was crucified is completely ridiculous, and your only reasoning is puerile angst about religion being bad. There is overwhelming secular research that proves he was real, regardless if you believe he was the messiah or not.

You are absolutely trolling, or you’re willfully ignorant to an astounding level.

He's an above it all negro dipshit. Many such cases.

It’s a myth. Nothing more ridiculous than a grown man who needs to believe in myths. Do you wonder why Santa Claus stopped bringing you presents? He’s a myth too. Sorry to break it to you.

If you're not doing a bit then you're an actual retard. Christianity didn't become the state religion until the late 4th century, long after the empire's conquering days. During the first three centuries of its existence Christianity was outlawed and persecuted.

Do you think Vespasian was a Christian or something? You'll struggle to find a Roman source speak positively of Christians for at least the first two centuries AD. The same beef the Romans had with the Jews, their staunch monotheism, applied in equal measure to Christians and it was disliked even more because Christians evangelized their faith.

Maybe you should take your own advice and do some more of that Googling because it's almost impressive how wrong you are. It's an absurd hill to die on because this is basic, commonly accepted history which isn't in dispute in the slightest.

It was a good way to control people from the beginning. Christian interpolation has always been a great way to trick morons and Josephus has been translated and edited over and over until the 19th century. It’s all a myth and a pretty dumb one. You believe what you want though, I don’t have to change your diaper.

Which one is it? Did the Romans concoct Christianity from the start as some plot or did later Christians rewrite history? At least be consistent in your retardation.

You don’t understand what you’re talking about if you resort to the trope of “it was to control people” - you just don’t.

It was a myth, it kept people under control so the Roman’s adopted it. Just like being good so Santa will give you presents. Odd how Josephus”s story was never corroborated and he never converted. He knew the whole movement was childish and silly.

That was the purpose of spreading religion with armies. It is a myth used for brainwashing. Brainwashed people can’t see that.

this was just a nice joke about my friend, I didn't want it to get this dark

you are all over the place, early Christianity spread through martyrdom, not armies - and the romans abhorred it for centuries, but you argue they wanted it so wrote erroneous history, and it was spread through war?

No. You have been lied to. It spread with violence and subjugation. You can lie to yourself about myths but history is pretty well documented. Don’t let me interfere with your fairy tales though. You and a few million Mexicans need this nonsense.

Does it? What system do you think is easier for controlling a vast polytheistic and multi-ethnic empire? "Hey, worship your ancestral gods as much as you want so long as you also worship the emperor" or "accept Jesus Christ as your one lord and savior and disavow your fake idols"?

Only a fucking mongoloid would think the latter would be preferable from the perspective of a government with enough shit on its plate as it was. Hence why the Romans cracked down so hard on Christianity, they knew a religion like that spreading would be bad for business.

Odd how Josephus”s story was never corroborated and he never converted. He knew the whole movement was childish and silly.

If Josephus was a tool of the Romans and the Romans wanted to spread Christianity to control people, wouldn't make more sense for him to wholeheartedly endorse it rather than off-handedly mentioning Jesus in a twenty volume treatise on Jewish history?

Your childish, simplistic conspiracy theory isn't even internally consistent. You've pivoted between three mutually contradictory explanations already.

None of those things make sense. Once you know the scam you can promote it, but you know too much to actually believe it. It seems to have worked and brainwashed people have been sending money for thousands of years and the Caligula lifestyle is alive and well in Vatican City. A sick form of brainwashing, but nobody cares about a bunch of Mexicans.

We've sunk a lot into R&D here at Panera trying to figure out how he pulled that off

If he was so great, why can't he turn my water into A FAWKIN CHEDDAR BROCCOLI SOUP!?!

He could if he wanted to, he just doesn’t like you so instead he gave you hemorrhoids.

I'd have settled for that caffeine sugar drink they serve that kills people.
