For People Who Think There Was No Historical Jesus
RE: For People Who Think There Was No Historical Jesus
Quote:It's unlikely that a 4th century Archbishop would have disapproved of something that wasn't going on at all.

As Carrington pointed out, in Eusebius' "history" he notes only 147 martyrs. Hardly the vast blood-letting that later xtians contrived. I doubt there would have been any need for xtians to invent these stories prior to them beginning their own pogroms against heretics and pagans and that came somewhat after Eusebius' time.

Eusebius had another motive.
