What are the best movies of all time? One of the best films I’ve watched is The Fall of the Roman Empire (1964) directed by Anthony Mann.

My reply:
That’s pretty fractured Roman history. You can’t learn history via movies, you have to do it the old fashioned way by reading.
[[The Roman Empire was believed to be eternal, but through the corruption of its leaders, peoples and the collapse of Roman culture, the empire was swept away in decadence, dancing and destruction. The greatest empire that existed in the world up until the 1800s was obliterated by its own hand.]]
Duh, it was the Antonine Plague of 165–180 that did in the Roman Empire, not Commodus. The barbarians just finished off a sick old man. Rome collapsed in 476 and Commodus died way before that on New Year’s Eve 192.

What are 5 proofs of the existence of Jesus not using the Bible? - Michael Anderson
My reply:
There is no historical proof of Jesus Christ, which is no surprise since he was made up whole cloth from misinterpreted passages in the Septuagint Bible by the Jehovah Cult to explain how the Romans could have invaded Israel, destroyed their Big Temple, and ended the Jewish priesthood if Jehovah hadn’t predicted it and sent the Romans as his arm of flesh to make them pay for something bad they did. In this case it was for killing his son that he sent 40 years earlier.
That’s why Jesus’ killing was dated to 40 years before the fall of Jerusalem in 70 C.E. By that time anybody alive in 30 C.E. would most likely be dead, and for sure everybody living in Jerusalem at that time.
They didn’t piece together a historical life from eye-witnesses or written records, but took dictation directly from Jehovah from a Ouija Board. After all,. Jehovah was there, not them, so it was an infallible revelation.
The four gospels thang was misinformation, a misdirection play to make the Ouija Board disappear. In an age where most people were illiterate and gospel scrolls cost as much as a car does now, each Christian church just assembled suckers, read from the scrolls, and baptized the converts by the dozen.
Baptized them into what? From day one the Christians (little Christs) believed that he was sitting at Jehovah’s right hand in Heaven waiting to lead an army of angels to judge the world, and that they personally talked to him all the time. and wanted to be on the winner’s side when he came so he would gather them to be him in paradise while he sent Satan’s followers to burn forever in the Lake of Fire. It’s the carrot-stick approach.on supernatural steroids That’s why 2000 years later they’re still mainly unreachable. If the first victims of the hoax couldn’t disprove it, what can we do now? Offer them a better bargain with eternity?
