Constantine was a pagan. Was all his life. He merged the two religions together to save his own neck. Litteraly. He stole the holidays and traditions of the pagans to ease the threat of civil war; to give the populace a sence that thier gods had not been forgotten. Constantine used Christianity to control the populace or die.

Originally posted by Darfius Because the early Catholic popes (who also murdered, stole, raped, had homosexual sex) turned her from a loyal and true follower of the One God to a pagan goddess.
Kind of like Swaggert dicking around with that whore in California right?
Originally posted by Darfius No, because God favors patriarchal always. Does it mean He thinks women are the lesser gender? Of course not. It means men and women have different God-given talents.
Why do you say that god favors patriarchal societies always? The Jews or Hebrews if you prefer are a matriarchal society and they are and always have been the chosen people of god.

Originally posted by Darfius I meant how are the Jews a matriarchal society? I see no females in the Sanhedrin.
Jews apparently became a matrilineal society during the Roman occupation. I’m not sure that scholars have any idea exactly what year. The problem, apparently, had to do with the rape of Jewish women by the Romans—impregnate enough women in a patrilineal society and pretty soon you have reduced the number of de jure Jews. Judaism is matrilineal today.
No.1, I know that’s not why you bumped this thread, but I had not seen it before, so…

You know the word 'Villain ' was the original word for a person who lived in a village, nothing more. The catholic church found people who lived in villages quite hard to convert, since they still wanted to worship the nature, to which they lived so close. Thus the church gave villain a negative connotation - people not to be trusted, likely to kill you or likely to steal from you, until it had its modern meaning.
