Didn't Nero launch Christianity?

[Fake Messiah]

Nero's older than christianity by at least fifty years. There may have been some ultra-orthodox jewish sects around which later became the genesis for christianity later on, but christianity itself was non existent.

You've got to remember that the stories about Nero persecuting christians come from later (i.e. 4th century on) commentators who wanted to do two things 1) denigrate Nero and 2) build up the myth of martyrdom within the christian church.

If you want a Roman emperor to blame for creating christianity, look no further back than Constantine. Before him, thousands of bickering sects with few followers and less power, after him an empire spanning monolithic religion with masses of power.

Yeah, you should have read few more posts where I say that it was a hoax. It is one of those things that I knew from before but I forgot because, I guess, I must be surrounded with disinformations or something and I forgot.

For instance it would be interesting if someone made one of those YouTube videos where they take a historical movie and point to its historical mistakes and that movie should be "Quo Vadis" (1951) because it's a fantasy movie presented as historical. There is Nero burning Rome, apostle Peter marrying people (church didn't meddle into marriage till like 12th century), Christians being fed to lions in the Colosseum, there's even Michelangelo's David in the movie.

But I guess people that make these kinds of videos stay away from religious movies.
