—“Studying what a religion DOES to a people really matters….it is clear from the MOMENT that Constantine transitioned the Roman Empire from a loose paganism based around an imperial cult supported by a “market of local gods” that Rome was forever changed…i.e. a Classically Egyptian and Greek city that basically gave birth to astronomy (Ptolemies) like Alexandria went from being a center of learning (it had the world’s truly great library) to being a city that argued about asinine theological differences as a way to lie and deceive in the service of monopoly (Abrahamicists are monopolists; Indo-Aryan Europeans are for markets) rather than the market of ideas that is REALLY the truth.:—Nick Dahlheim
