All Christian, All Historic, All the Time
One expects to find crackpot conspiracy theories concerning Christianity to use Constantine as its whipping boy. Until a decade ago, one did not expect such drivel to appear sympathetically in what is supposed to...
Like clockwork each Christmas and Easter, the major news publications run sum drivel or other about why orthodox Christian beliefs are wrong. I expect it and would be shocked if it did not occur....
