Well, if we are going by Catholic theology, he may be in heaven, If he had all mortal sins forgiven and did reparations for the forgiven mortal and venial sins (I don't have any examples). Although as he was a politician, I doubt he did make reparations.

I know this probably won't help you any, but reading stuff like that always make me feel so bad for catholic clergy, I can't imagine a dedicated priest wouldn't make anything but a great father and husband.

My understanding of Chingis Khan was when it came to religion he intrinsically had no problem with an individuals belief system as long as it didnt have a detrimental impact of the common harmony. If it did then he would kill the usurpers. He or his generals would conquer a city then determine whether or not to kill everyone with maintaining harmony in mind. Sometimes this meant killing everyone. If harmony meant killing all the Christians then so be it or killing or the Muslims then so be it also but harmony was the ultimate goal. I understand that Temujin dabbled in the 3 main religions of his time but held favour with Buddhism. I think under this perspective the world might be a better place
So What are you saying, that we should kill those that harm the Harmony? That is a dangerous thought, as those in Power decide who is the disruptive people. I acknowledge you may have just used it as an example, but just asking if you advocate doing what they did.SanctusEmpire wrote:Constantine as I understand was simply an inept leader who had the fortune of realising that to control his ever converting-to-Christ army he had to become the boss of all Christians.

The only Christians that I know of who fought a war over religion was the Catholic Church. However, you will find that most religious wars have practical, political purposes rather than spiritual ones. Religion is simply an excuse.

Not a fan, for some reason I feel as though if the first testament version of god still did business that way I might just believe. If there's one thing our human existence proves, it's that you can respect vasts amounts of needless destruction and death.

Im sorry!!!! I meant the first book written in the new testament!!! Because every other book that follows seems to be an exaggeration of the one that precedes it.
Jesus said turn the other cheek, But for some reason and some excellent public relations campaigning the crusades were justified. Same thing happens today in the name of oil. I've googled the religion of oil, interesting

Oh my bad but in any sense I was just being humorous.
However I will say this. I am not a big fan of Karl Marx's conflict theory or the more modern neo conflict theory as a whole but I do understand and like how aspects of it seem very spot on with basic human observation. That said I wouldn't say religion is extrinsically tied with oil of the region but simply used as a political/social mechanism used by society in order to justify actions against the people and governments of the region in order to obtain the resource or achieve some sort of end not directly related to their faith.

In the book of Acts, which you argue is the basis for your Church's hierarchy, only deacons and elders are authorized to be used by individual churches. No unifying church government, no pope. Only deacons and only elders to oversee and order the affairs of each individual congregation.
