Is Orthodox Agitation Propaganda against the Ancient Romano-Hellenistic religions any different from Catholic/Protestant Agitation Propaganda? I think you will find that they were one and the same for 600+ years.

Can we go back to the fact that the foundation for monogamy is in secular Roman law, not Christian or Judaic law?

Protestants didn't even come into existence until 500 or so years after the Papists split the Church; and as for the Roman Catholics; they changed a lot over those 500 years. Rome, in the first 1,000 years of Christianity was Orthodox; not the other way around - Orthodoxy was not Catholic or Protestant. Never was; never will be.

Anyways, sh*tposting aside; I'm genuinely curious; which gods do you worship?

No. Because that's backwards. Why would secular law enforce monogamy without some sort of religious origin?

None.

All in all is it thus any wonder that Toyotomi Hideyoshi and the Tokugawa shogunate following him sought out to utterly destroy Christendom in Japan?

No. Because that's backwards. Why would secular law enforce monogamy without some sort of religious backing?

Because:

1. Religions untouched by Roman law are not actually very keen on monogamy

2. Monogamy is a form of social 'leveling', which was very important to the Res Publica

Okay, but Nobunaga had the real right idea - play the Buddhists and the Christians against each other. 8)

You mean Jesuit Christendom? European Christian Monarchs even turned against that.

You've absorbed unscriptural Catholic teachings about marriage and combined them with a brazen totalitarianism to produce something more resembling IngSoc than anything authentically Christian.


Well, I figure it is either that or permitting same-sex marriage. Which would you prefer?

I think that there's a sound theological argument for same-sex marriage, so the latter.

Your idea is bad and you should feel bad.

Memes aside, it really is a bad fucking idea, like all ideas social conservatism has come up with.

the arrogance to think they represent all workers is hilarious, btw.

communists do not speak for me or my interests, and i say this as a working class man myself.

Paganism isn't a proper Religion, though.

Depends on how you define what begins as a proper religion. Christianity was thought to be a form of atheism by the roman polytheists before their faith was found wanting, and a new one focused on familial values, and cohesion overtook them. So sure in a way it was ultimately proven not to be a proper religion if only because it lost out.

historical fact.

He really didn't, he was an individual and had the full right to convert to a religion he believes in.

Though it was probably just political-play as Christianity was a growing force in the Empire.

Caesar was a reformist so long as it suited his political, and social agenda. The man may have been militarily sound, but politically his actions were guided out of obligation, and pragmatism rather than on the pure principle of reform alone.

The only thing he did wrong was waiting until his deathbed to become an actual Christian.It's more or so the reason why Theodosius is treated as the first Christian emperor.

Well at the moment the papists are having a bit of a row over the Pope being a heretic so who knows.

I can at least sympathize with people who think their gods are real, and not metaphors. I recall some of the Asatru claiming Odin was a metaphor, and suffice to say its pretty idiotic.
