I did significant research on Diocletian at University when I was younger, and found much of interest in the persecution that is not widely known. I can't pull up my research at the moment, but within a couple weeks I could probably get many citations on this. My actual conclusions led me to believe more that Diocletian's son in law Galerius was most responsible for the persecution. -Eternal Critic

:Christianity was never even legal until almost 300 years into its existence. The Romans had a law that no new religions were allowed. The only thing that saved Christianity before Nero was that it was probably viewed as a branch of Judaism in the eyes of Rome. Another interesting point is that the Jews were the only religion that didn't have to worship the Emperor (at least pre diaspora -- I'm not sure afterwards)
: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)
