Since the religion did exist prior to Constantine...that is his ASSUMPTION....doesn't mean it's true.;)

Considering history itself is nothing more than a bunch of assumptions and educated guesses based on documents and writings that are quite often loosely peiced together, your argument really holds no value.

That's not true. Christianity DID exist before Constantine...and Christianity DID most clearly influence Constantine.

I never said it didn't, I was responding to your comment about him making assumptions.

Then your initial statement in this thread is in error and holds no value.:)

Wow, that makes absolutely no since. I you weren't so quick to type, and had read the rest of the post on the page, you would know that I said everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and everyone should respect each others. You sir, have just made yourself out to be even more ignorant than before. Congratulations.

[edit] Look, I'm certainly not a history buff, nor will I ever be, but I do know that everyone has a right to their own opinion, and you don't have to bash someone elses to state your own. In fact, people who attack others for having different views than their own often are the ones who come out with the shorter stick than the person they attacked. If you have to attack someone else just to make your opinion look better, people are never going to value what you have to say.

According to that logic, neither would yours. Or anyone else's.

Exactly. Thats why none of us really have any place trying to prove each other wrong without hard evidence. We all have our opinions, and we should all respect each others.

[EDIT] No but seriously, I would go with Plato.

I'd kill Richard Gere, freeze him in liquid nitrogen and impale myself with his body. Imagine the look on people's face when they find me :''W...T...F... he got impaled by Richard Gere...''

Allright, I'm doing it.

Good cuz I've always wanted to see someone impailed by a frozen Richard Gere. I'll see your dead Richard Gere impailed body on the news tomorrow!
