Was Christianity started to control the masses and dictate poltical agendas

[Ruckus123]

It was sorta easy, you don't need many gods or wars anymore. Only one God, then Islam came and now you have two. But it was pretty unifying easy system that had got influencial is most likely why it got to where it is today

Actually that's total ignorant bullshit. Christians were warring against each-other from the get go, as the Roman writer Ammianus put it: "No wild beasts are so hostile to mankind as are most of the Christians in their savagery toward one another."
The different branches of Christianity were in open war with each other, since most of them vied to be the only official one, and dismissed their rivals as heresies. Whenever one of them had been in power, Christians belonging to any other faction were persecuted just as much as pagans were.

No i wasn't saying war ended. Christianity like all religions came through the sword. I am saying the reason it gained popularity was because the poverty struck people had more of a purpose in it which they didnt in the roman world and that it just is easier as a system having one god than severals, its unifying to say the least. Of course political clashes and wars based on religious beliefs or ideologies was gonna be a thing.

That's a creative reimagining of early christian history and conversion.

Well most credit is due to the roman emporer Constantine. But let me hear your historical scholarship on this : ). I just know this through internet. But if you are going it was just wars.

Wars is a human evolution thing, since the 2 tribes went their own way it was over and humanity as always been at war even more when human civilization started. Religion can among other things be justified as an eternal war based on differences among humans, that is true. While political ideologies is temporeral ones. Religions i guess was the way of setting things straight in society like you cannot do this or that, thats not what we deem worthy of humans as in human dignity etc.

I could go on but yeah.

It was Theodosius that gave christendom the power to prosecute a war.  Christianity's rise in rome was nothing more or less than a political prop.   It ended up serving the exact same purpose as the previous state cult.  It wasn;t out of a lack of purpose in paganism nor was it any easier (or more difficult) to be a christian than a pagan...and the line between christianity and paganism was still more than a little bit blurry in 4th century rome.

Early christianity exploited the poor and a building social apathy. They aped the hellenic cults popular at the time while serving as an outlet for frustration against the ruling order of the day - even as they depended on those very same patricians for favor, funding, and influence. In turn, patricians rebranded themselves as qausi-populists, in part, by appeal to the superstition of the rabble and attempts at pious theater.

Sound familiar?

I don't care what you want .Your not the judge and i'm on trail . And i don't have to prove i had a reason for something i never did . I never abused you . So i have nothing to justify in that regard . But i will be coinsidering reporting you libeli . 
Clearly are or would not be complaining 
Sympathy no . Crying yes 
I have already been truthful . You just can't handle the truth . So that's not it.

 Nearly everybody has made the same mistakes, 
Nope speak for yourself . More libel 
Again i have nothing to be caught on . More libel 
So let's recap . Lies,Slander,Character assassination, And Libel . But please keep adding to the list .

Incidentally "libel" is a word you borrowed from another post. A lack of originality.

The rest of your comments are more or less just a twist on what I write, once again parroting comes into action.

As for your criminal history, you seem to be in the clear where you live, but that will all change with more uniform laws in the country.

I haven't ask you to do a song and dance for me, all I want you to do for your own sanity, is to admit to your behavior, to be accountable for what you write, and so far you think you can be as abusive as want and get away with it.
You don't want to be accountable with the truth - and that is your whole problem.

Which can only lead to the conclusion that you have a criminal mind or the lights are on with you but no one is home.

And? 
If the description fits why not use it?

The rest of your comments are more or less just a twist on what I write, once again parroting comes into action.

Nope i twisted nothing i refuted it .And who again who cares were i got the description if it's true ? Which it is . 

As for your criminal history, you seem to be in the clear where you live, but that will all change with more uniform laws in the country.

I have made it clear that i live in Ottawa. And the laws here are fine . But thanks for confirming all i have said . This will go on the list of personal attacks .

I haven't ask you to do a song and dance for me,

Good because I would not even if you had 

all I want you to do for your own sanity, is to admit to your behavior,

More than sane thank you . And i will admit  to nothing that isn't so . And my behaviour has been totally justified . And i have nothing i need to admit to the likes of you . 

to be accountable for what you write,

I'm accountable for justly calling you  on your bullshit and nothing else.

and so far you think you can be as abusive as want and get away with it.

Nope can't get away with something I have never done .You have never been abused .You have been fairly and justly called out and nothing else . 

You don't want to be accountable with the truth - and that is your whole problem.

Accountable for justly calling you out yup . Accountable for your slander against me nope . And that is the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth no matter how much you lie to contrary . 

Which can only lead to the conclusion that you have a criminal mind or the lights are on with you but no one is home.

Which can only lead to the conclusion your a liar or your not very bright . Oh and thanks again for providing so much evidence of personnel attacks .

Of course only atheists should read it as xhristards' heads would explode as they learn how fully they have been swindled by these Byzantine scumbags.
