No.
Gladiatorial fights were first and foremost the football, soccer, or baseball of their time. A way to keep the crowds entertained, happy, and preoccupied with anything except the affairs of state. The classic misdirection m.o. of the elites.
The 'sacrifice to the Roman gods' thing, while another snippet of misdirection functioning as a fig leaf for the gladiator fights, wasn't any more important than the BS Santa story about good and bad kids, while it really is about presents and avarice.

Quote:Christianity, a thoroughly derivative religion,is no better or worse than most other religions in human history.

No?
What other religions mounted, first, the genocide of 'others', non-Xtians (the crusades), and then the genocide of their own non-catholics (the Inquisition) on a similar industrial scale?
