Why don't modern Christians honor Christian rulers like

>>3368078
Catholics are not Christians.

No Constantinian empire, no need to be Constantinian.

>>3368078
Secularism, liberalism, and nationalism supplanting medieval Christian ideals.

>>3368078
>Constantine
Arian heretic

>>3368080
this :D

>>3368078
Because modern Christians ignore any history not spelled out in a 2000 year old revisionist work that they have never read. If they weren't read cherry picked selections by their priest/minister, they wouldn't know anything of that either.

>>3368080
Are you trying to say that modern Christians are generally Catholic or that Constantine and Charlemagne were "Catholic" (as opposed to what, Syriac Christianity?)

>>3368078
because the west is undergoing a cultural revolution perpetrated by leftists in education, government, and media. Look no further than the iconoclastic destruction of monuments, religion, history, and even biology itself

>>3368078
Because the concept of love has shifted from a firm paternalistic hand to being a pussy.

>>3368078
WWI

Most Christians are laughably ignorant about the history of their religion

What about Donald?

>>3368078
Modern 'Christians' don't believe in their religion.

Because, while its commonly toted that there is something like 1.6 billion christians on the planet, the actual number is much, much smaller. I am not trying to start a war over which denomination or sect is correct, but the fact of the matter is, that most "christians" nowadays are christian only in name. This is a plague in all groups. The vast majority of christians only go to church when it conveniences them (i.e. only christmas and easter), they only pray as a absolute last resort, they pick and choose what they want from the bible. Choosing only the "love your neighbor" bit, but anything that doesn't align with their own personal worldview, they choose to remain blissfully ignorant about. Again, this problem is rampant throughout all forms of christianity, whether it be catholic, orthodox, or protestant. So to answer your question, they don't honor them because they 1. dont know about them, or 2. dont care about them because what they taught, and stood for does not align with their own "personal christianity"

This is true. Even if you count only those people who hold to, say, the creeds of the first four ecumenical councils, the number of genuine Christians in the world shrinks drastically. Christianity is a doctrine, not just a life. When most of your followers can't tell you whether Jesus is God or whether they are sinners or whether Jesus was fully God and Man, died, descended into Hell, rose again and ascended to the right hand of the Father, that 1.6 billion number becomes fairly meaningless.

I'd argue the same goes for that OTHER fastest-growing religion: Islam. It has slightly less strict theological demands of its average follower (according to most sects: obviously Wahhabis and various Kharijite sects are stricter about theology), but I'm pretty sure if you look closely then the vast majority of Muslims are rank unbelievers.

This. This guy knows.

>>3369047
Broad statement as there are a few billion Christians in the world and no muppet on the internet can claim they think a certain way.

>>3368078
Because they were violent, and in the case of Constantine, paranoid maniacs who killed their own family members in their lust for power. They are not Christian and more like opportunists.

A minute of the population isn't historically illiterate tbqh

>>3368078

Good. The less christians are like muslims, the better.

>>3368078
Constantine was barely a christian even by contemporary standards and hardly a role model besides. He still worshipped pagan gods on the side (and was buried with pagan artifacts as well as christian ones), wasn't baptized until he died so that he could be a dick but still technically have all his sins cleansed upon his death, and killed his own wife and step-son.

He didn't really 'get' Christianity, in other words.

>>3368078
Constantine is literally a saint nigga.

>>3368080
Stop being retarded

>>3370435
and I'm sure the modern Christians who honor Constantine and Charlemagne are equally offended by OP's broad statement.
