Ok, one last time.
You stated that "genuine xtians" would willingly die for their faith and then, when confronted with Pliny's observation that they said "fuck jesus, Hail Caesar" you reply with:
Are you asserting, at 1,900 years removed, a No True Scotsman argument? Because, if you are, I can tell you how that is going to work out.
This horseshit about xtian martyrs winning over the Romans by stoically facing death for their godboy is a pile of shit. Xtianity grew slowly and only won out because it backed the right horse in a civil war. When given political power they used it to terrorize non-xtians wherever they could find them.
Hollywood is not a great source for actual history.

Quote:It says here that they gave Christians the choice between denying Jesus was their lord and living...and refusing to deny him and dying. "
