That consipiracy theory you just posted of the Romans inventing Jesus & promoting this pacifist sect of the rebelious Jews to quell & dilute their ferocious tribalism is interesting.
We certainly know that later on Christianity was invented at the council of Nicaea in the 3rd century AD by the Roman emperor Constantine and others. The intention was to unite the many populations within the Roman empire under a new religion that could be ruled from the single authority of the Church in Rome. The council decided to just take parts of the various religions within the empire and mash them into one religion. There are parts of Judaism, Paganism, Greek mythology, Egyptian Saturn worship and others all spliced together to make up Christianity
The Romans were incredibly saavy about the power of religion & the ability to coherce rule over peoples by such manipulation to unite, divide, punish , conspiracy in that age of Caesar, Crassus & Pompei was at a crescendo, why its laughable that any would point to any historicity in the Bible, there was so many other things going on.

Interesting Christian word origin fact -
The English word "Church" comes from the Scottish word "Kirk".
The Scottish word "Kirk" comes from the Roman word "Circ" (pronounced - sirs).
The Roman word "Circ" comes from the Greek word "Circe" (pronounced sirsae).
The Greek word "Circe" comes from the Greek mythology tale of "Mother Circe".
Mother Circe was an enchantress who would seek out those who were lost, invite them into her house and lock the door behind them so they could never leave. Once inside her house Mother Circe would feed them potions and cast spells on them that would put them in a trance so she could devour their bodies and souls.
Interesting choice of words for the Romans to pick for the place of worship for their new religion. |
