A simple challenge for atheists

[SteveII]

So you are saying that if it weren't for the Roman Empire, Christianity would have died out? That is an interesting analysis since it persecuted the church for the first 300 years.

Um, no, all that "throwing the christians to the lions" shit was mostly made up, stories of brave christians not breaking their faith under torture that were adopted as part of the religious cultural consciousness of the time, but were fictional no less. You can read all about it here, but something tells me you won't.

I could post 10 links on articles criticizing her premise and conclusions by scholars. For the sake of argument, for the first 300 years, the Roman Empire did not foster the growth of Christianity. So, the question remains, why does Christianity survive til today when so many other religions cease to exist?

I never got an answer from you as were the ancient Egyptians irrational.
