:At the same time though, the admonition of Paul for Christians to follow the law never included worshipping false gods. There is a line that isn't crossed. [[User:Learn together|Learn together]] 17:09, 23 October 2008 (EDT)

::I believe the Jews were excluded for cultural reasons, whereas Christians were not considered a cultural group, but solely religious. And while you say that a line should not be crossed, I'm wondering where you recommend I draw mine? I am not trying target anyone, but i will freely admit I am no longer a Christian. I simply love Roman history and want to see it represented as accurately and high quality as possible. I believe looking at it from multiple views (both Roman and Christian) is significant to the persecution. It was a terrible slaughter and tragedy, but in -some- cases provocation existed, and in others fabricated or assumed, usually by galerius.
