>try to destroy Christianity
>lose everything and have a nice day after being put on house arrest and witnessing literally every plan you came up with crumble
Huh.
Can you imagine how crazy it must have been to be a Christian between 300 to 324? To go from suffering the most extreme persecution ever to basically being the favored religion? It’s even possible that someone lived and witnessed the Diocletian persecution all the way to 380 when it finally triumphed completely over Rome.

Diocletian didn’t kill himself or go under house arrest. He retired with an army under his command, even coming out of retirement to temporarily stop the quickly spiralling Tetrarchy and acknowledging Constantine and Maxentius as legitimate
Damn that thread where people were demonstrating that Constantine was the worst Roman Emperor really pissed you off on huh lol
NTA, and I don't like Constantine, but that is not even close to being true. There are so many terrible Roman Emperors Constantine isn't even close.
At the very least he united the Empire for the length of his reign and it was somewhat stable.
>the most extreme persecution ever
The victim complex knows no bounds.
What was the most extreme persecution ever? I cannot think of a single example and my knowledge of history is quite extensive.
>muslims
Ottomans and Umayyads were invaders. Not sure what distorted r*ddit narrative you've been reading.
>pagans
Pagan Anglo-Saxons attacked Romano-Britannia, then converted to Christianity. Vikings and Magyars were the scourge of Europe, then converted to Christianity. Saxons who had raided the Roman empire for centuries, converted, Romuva, converted, all these belligerent barbarian hordes, converted.
What other religious group could you be referring to? Call it.
>Romuva, converted
Lmao, mf forgot about the Northern Crusade that began the baltics half-millenia of slavery to Germans, Russians and Swedes. The conversion of the Baltics was anything but voluntary.
Also, how Diocletian treated his Christians was essentially how Christians treated any non-Christian group under their rule. Pogroms, lack of rights and freedoms, and above all forced conversions.
>forced
The conversion of Kings and nobles was often voluntary, and then they forcibly converted everyone else. See the northern crusade, and the Pagan reactions in Poland, Saxony, for examples of this.
Exactly. The Church often used diplomatic pressures and incentives to convert the people at the top. This created resentment among the people and pagan nobility that eventually forces the monarch to forcefully convert the country.
>What was the most extreme persecution ever
Literally all those made by christcucks. Charlemagne against the Saxons, King Olaf against his own people, cathars, etc.
You christcucks are too dishonest to admit it.
Claims of Christian persecution have long been debunked by scholars.
Christiantiy itself is the persecution of the human (Gentile) soul and teaching it to minors is child abuse.
>What was the most extreme persecution ever?
I think there's more extreme persecution just in the bible, I mean its not like the Christians were enslaved for example.
>destroy/deface roman artifacts, statues, and monuments
>harass priests and mock native religion
>"why is everyone persecuting me?!"
>Christian victim complex, dun nuffin
kek, like clockwork.
This all happened in your mind I'm guessing?
Early Christians were exactly like stereotypical israelites, subversive, iconoclastic, and had a massive persecution complex and chip on their shoulder towards the rest of the world.
They still are all dat doe
He didn't kill himself or was put in house arrest. You illiterate Christurd liar.
>when it finally triumphed completely over Rome.
That was the day God told Satan, you are allowed to do whatever you want to test my righteous ones.
>In the end Satan's greatest trick was giving Christians temporal power and seeing how fast it would corrupt them
Devilish
>not letting people who follow an actively treasonous religion serve in the army is "the most extreme persecution ever"
Christians are something else
