And so they began to persecute the church, which, you know, for some of the reasons, which were just absolutely incredible to me,

that what the early church was accused of, cannibalism, because they would participate in the Eucharist or because you eat the flesh of Christ, drink His blood.

Oh, they must be cannibals.

Orgies because of the holy kiss.

They're accusing the early church of engaging in orgies.

All these different things that they'd created like this straw man and these false narratives about the church so that they could go –

and persecute them.

It's just amazing.

Don't we see that today?

The same kind of make-believe stuff.

Where was that at again?

Yeah, I mean, I think it's interesting when you, Celsus, the Platonic philosopher.

And on the study guide it says he argued that the Christians should be persecuted for not paying rent by sacrificing to the gods of Rome who were vital to Rome's continued prosperity.

And you think about the absurdity of this.

I mean, you see this today.

We say money is the bottom line.

I don't think that is the bottom line.

With wickedness, you do become futile in your thinking.

Christianity alone stands head and shoulders about bringing human flourishment to the world.

Nobody does it like the church.
