I seem to recall SB shutting you down last time you floated the death cult idea. Alas, he had his little Scott Pilgrim moment and decided the only he could defeat Umberto was by dropping a nuke.

peasant justification: as usual MM thinks the end determines the means. NO.


Oh, I'm reasonably certain Emperor Constantine didn't go Christian because of a meteorite. Rather, he figured it was easier to propagandize for his dictatorship through an authoritarian single church with single supreme infallible God instead of a mess of temples devoted to individual gods in the bickering trailer park of the Olympian pantheon. Christianity was popular at the time, so hey, if Paris would later be worth a Mass. Put a spin on the crucifixion (an act of Caesar's unquestionable Roman authority) and shift the blame onto the chosen people.

Public Relations genius.

Or as the man this thread is devoted to would put it:
