1. What did you do after systematically ridding yourself of all

2. The man in charge said it was the right way.
People tend to believe those with power if they themselves do not have it. (insert monarch/dictator/regime here)
3. I see it as a way for people to feel good about themselves (via delusion) and show themselves to others with an image of "I care" and emotional, at least to their own eyes. Some people think of science as just too cold and rational.

In Greco-Roman religion, the afterlife was pretty shit. If you were just a regular person, who lived a fairly standard life like everyone else, then you just went to the Fields of Asphodel. They are just fields were souls wonder round not really doing anything or getting anything except when a loved one gives you an offering. Pretty boring, empty stuff.

You could only get to Elysium (A place where you get basically whatever your heart desires) if you lived a great and noble life, worthy of reward.

Whereas in Christianity, as long as you accept Jesus Christ as your lord and saviour, and live a """""pure and holy""""" life, then you basically get Elysium (or that's just what the missionaries told them).


It's fairly obvious why they switched when you think about it.

Same as I did before.

>2. Why did the Romans become Christian? How could you do that? Was religion back then just socialising and getting drunk? They must have had fuck all to do.
It was enforced by the state.

>3. Is religion these days just pious and / or pseudo intellectual posturing?
It's LARPing.

Constantine's empire might have been divided by schism between pagans and christians. It was easier to just pick one and keep stuff unified.
