Okay.

All right, let's start podcasting.

Well, what else do you think was discussed at the first council of Nisea in 325 a day?

Besides the canonized fact that the father of the son

and the Holy Spirit are one and the same. I thought that that was a basis of the

schism between the Eastern Orthodox and the Catholics.

So they thought, no, no, no, no, these are three separate entities.

That's what I thought.

Do you think they were so desperate not to be deemed polytheists they just

sort of contorted theirself into that position hmm well it's interesting do you

know that dostoevsky book, The Brothers, Kara Mazzov?

There's a character in that book who is writing a paper, and I'm sure that Dosteevsky was not the first person then come up with this but

there's a character in that book who's writing like a paper about how the Romans just adopted Christianity to fit their state religion, not the other way around.

Like they basically... state religion, not the other way around.

Like they basically, they adopted Christianity

and therefore like Roman paganism

didn't really quite die away until the Protestant Reformation.

Is that why the Roman Catholic Church has like all the saints that are basically?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's like sort of a vestigial organ of the Roman Empire. Yeah, yeah, it's like well. It's in the name I guess. Yeah, it's like it's they adopted Christianity to serve their ends rather than like

Like who even knows what Christianity was like before

constant before crust before Christ?
