The following will
explain, in detail my theory that the Roman Empire continued as a
form of sociological governance through religious law. Religious law,
in governance of the people, is a law that isn’t as easily broken
as a law on paper.
In 312 CE
Constantine had a vision of a sign that would lead him to victory.
Great story right? Yeah they are good at making shit up to control
the populous. Anyway, he had a vision won the battle but the thing is
it wasn’t even the first time he tried that it’s just the one
that succeeded. So they co-opted (as the Romans do) the outlawed
religion for military purposes. In 325 CE they had the Council of
Nicaea, where they unified the doctrine that they controlled. And
finally, in 380 CE it becomes a state religion the beginning of the
persecution of non-Christian faiths.
Clamming that
leaders are divinely related is nothing new. Alexander the Great
claimed divinity of Zeus. The “divine right of kings” was a thing
for a very long time. If you look at history, the Spanish
Inquisition, Galileo, Henry the 8th not being able to rule his own
country fully until he kicked them out.
History must marry
science and kick religion out of it. I do not know how many times
I’ve had to put down a non-fiction history book because it cannot
be fully trusted in content because they for some reason feel the
need to declare a Christian viewpoint, that means it won’t provide
any evidence based to the contrary of their fucking belief. Anyone
who actually lives in the world around them and believes this obvious
fake story is a gullibility test in my opinion. Consider where you
are born and point to somewhere on the map and you are likely to be
that religion. How does that make it the correct one? I do not wish
to argue over the facts that this is a story co-opted by the Romans
to control people that continues to this fucking day. It is a fact
not a debate.
It is a clear system
of control, oppression and sociological direction. It has been for a
very long time, and they don’t have as much power as they used, but
people need to be aware of their affect on history.
