I just went to minute 59 like you said and watched 5 or so minutes… I really like how this dude explains shit… almost like, "how the fuck can this world be so stupid" approach to it… love his cynical approach.
That's a bomb ass meme right there. QEQ
>somehow convinced Rome to go christian
Read about the canonizing of the bible - When Constantine, emperor of Rome, magically became Christian and invited all of Rome's Christian leaders together for a month long retreat at one of his resort like cabins, where he wined and dined all these guys.
The christian leaders made up of a few diff sects. The most important sect is the group that gave us the Gospels (Matthew Mark Luke John), the sect closest to the true teachings of Jesus.
Constantine only chose 4 of their books for the 66 (not coincidence) book bible, and then held state sanctioned book burnings, where he destroys all of the other books this particular sect was preaching…. Later found in the Nag hammadi's.
Now there were the more Paulinian Christian sects, and they were the closest to the Roman empire and preached more state approved religious texts, mostly compromised of Paul (The thirteenth dicsciple - because he wasn't around Christ when he walked the earth, he later became an honorary disciple??WTF?)
To zoom out here, Rome had became so buzzed and swept up by Christianity, that the state had to do something to address it. There were some Christian leaders that fell in line but others that didn't, because their direct teachings spoke against the state powers (much like our constitution).
Long story short, nobody forced Rome to become Christian. They pulled an AJ and Alex Corsi, and have infiltrated Christianity, just like they have every other world religion, and have turned it into a debacle.
