Iesou Chresto -

[Minimalist]

There is a two hour time limit on editing here...just for future reference.

When one of the fundies says something really stupid - happens all the time - I always quote it so they can't go back and change it.

Perhaps, as Suetonius says, they were "Chrestians" who were tossed out of Rome under Claudius? And Pliny describes "Christians" who bear no resemblance to any "jesus" in the early 2d century as goveror of Bithynia-Pontus....coincidentally not so far from Sinope



before 112 AD. It seems more likely that Pliny wrote Chrestians and it was later changed by a helpful scribe.
