igulug, "The incorporation of Christianity as an official religion: Constantine was a lifelong pagan who was baptized against "his will on his deathbed. Constantine made Christianity the official Roman religion solely for political gain. Christianity is a hybrid religion, the result of Constantine's fusing the pagan cult of Sol Invictus with Christianity"
Mate please inform yourself
Like others,you have this christianity one size fits all mentality,your point in your post is nothing but a strawman
What you posted is true in one sense,in regards to pagan christianity those origins are true
Now my question to you,because like others,you have this ill informed view,that "ALL" christianity had the same origin or starting point
Pagan rome ,became papal rome,historically we know that,the ceasars took the title of pontificus maximus,the pope takes the same title
Now ok,listen carefully here
As you have rightly cut and pasted,one form of christianity started from these origins
Who were the christians, that pagan rome persecuted in the coloseums?, long before pagan rome became papal rome?
From which you say is the genesis of chrIstianity and its beliefs?
Who were the christians that papal rome burnt at the stake for having a biblical belief?
You see,your one size fits all mentality just dosent add up chronologically does it?
Looking forward to your answer?
By the way,just because constantine claimed he was christian,by looking at his beliefs and practices and what the bible says,you can clearly see he wasnt anything but a pagan
His christian claims were false,but yet even today,the whole world wrongly calls catholocism christianity,and the pope the head of christianity(just for the record,every practice etc of rome is based on tradition above scripture,all their pratices are pagan in origin,the pope has no authority over me as a christian,and i have no regard for any of this pagan/christian religion)
I can claim to be superman,batman,or aquaman,i can claim to be anything i want
But it dosent mean i am any of the above,it just means i claim to be something im not
