Gweggy is against all forms of violence unless it is the form prescribed to him personally in scripture.

The burning bush speaks to him through his heart.

Ancient Pagans killed by Christians...

*As soon as Christianity was legal (315), more and more pagan temples were destroyed by Christian mob. Pagan priests were killed.

*Between 315 and 6th century thousands of pagan believers were slain.

*Examples of destroyed Temples the Sanctuary of Aesculap in Aegaea, the Temple of Aphrodite in Golgatha, Aphaka in Lebanon, the Heliopolis.

*Christian priests such as Mark of Arethusa or Cyrill of Heliopolis were famous as "temple destroyer."

*Pagan services became punishable by death in 356.

*Christian Emperor Theodosius (408-450) even had children executed, because they had been playing with remains of pagan statues.

According to Christian chroniclers he "followed meticulously all Christian teachings..."

*In 6th century pagans were declared void of all rights.

*In the early fourth century the philosopher Sopatros was executed on demand of Christian authorities.

*The world famous female philosopher Hypatia of Alexandria was torn to pieces with glass fragments by a hysterical Christian mob led by a Christian minister named Peter, in a church, in 415.



Hypatia was a brilliant philosopher and mathematician, head of the platonist school at Alexandria in the forth century. She is portrayed here by Charles William Mitchell while she was humiliated and about to be stoned to death by Christians who intended to destroy any symbol of pagan knowledge. Love the painting, love the woman.
