Studying will give you info that's relevant to a discussion, you should try it.

Again, if you would study instead of parroting others you might learn the truth, I found out that Christians were not used in the arena very often. However when the Romans did they created martyrs.

That's why you are approximately wrong all the time.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
