For People Who Think There Was No Historical Jesus
RE: For People Who Think There Was No Historical Jesus
Reached the point where Moss has examined the actual "persecutions" of Decius, Valentinius and Diocletian. Her conclusion is that Decius and Valerian issued edicts which effectively required a loyalty oath among the entire population and did specifically target xtians. Only Diocletian, the last of the 3 actually went after xtians.

For the record, it was later xtian writers (Lactantius and the noted liar, Eusebius) who started this persecution shit against both Decius and Valerian.
