Thanks for the partial support on this.

But See, Understanding the roman empire at the time I'd have to disagree with the love and harmony B.S. I think that was only a tool to make himself a "good guy" in the eyes of his followers. Many "cults" preach love and peace, but are created to feed the cult's ego-centric creators control over it's members.

All that love, tolerence, forgiveness, acceptance bullshit was already the theme of the Roman empire (as much as people would like to think it was a brutal and in-human era).

Jesus wanted on thing and one thing only...power. otherwise he would have been preaching buddism, or one of the other 900 religions accepted and worshiped openly at the time throughout the Roman empire and in Rome as well. The difference was that Jesus's teachings was the only one at the time that felt it needed to impose it's belief on others.

Christians were persecuted for hundreds of years after that and met in secret with hoods like the Klu klux Klan (notice the similar anti-tolerances of both). For this very reason. Later they would do the same to torture and execute non-believers.

Ok, What the hell is this, the history channel...This is turning into an Iron Maiden song.
