[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1686816, member: 26302"]An interesting note about Constantine. Some like to say he was not a "true Christian" since he only converted on his deathbed. But, back then, when you converted to Christianity all of your former sins were wiped clean. You could only do this once, and it was not available otherwise. So, basically Constantine was being pragmatic and saving his one "get out of **** free" card for the best timing. Later on they changed it, offering confessions to cleanse your sins. Just something to think about if anyone tries to talk smack about Constantine and his Christianity. Edit: Pretty irritating when I am physically talking about the afterlife ruled over by Satan to not be able to spell the word out. :([/QUOTE]
