<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gentlemaninpa, post: 3000133, member: 93355&quot;]Perhaps . None of us were alive back then, and neither were any historians living today. but judging but all of Neros other actions I wouldnt put it past him</p><p><br /></p><p>logically speaking, the Christians were never persecuted before this. It would make no sense They knew who they were dealing with-&nbsp; First off ,setting a fire and killing people isnt the christian way- and there were many christians who have ben reported to have died in the fire.</p><p><br /></p><p>i know that Christians in this day and age might, but keep in mind that 2000 years ago, Saint Peter and Paul were both alive and guiding early Christians. Saint Peter walked with Jesus- the last thing he would do is something like that.</p><p><br /></p><p>And the&nbsp; last thing that they would want to do was get on Rome&#039;s bad side, especially when there was just recently&nbsp; a jewish revolt that Rome brutally oppressed.</p><p><br /></p><p>It makes no sense for christians to do this, and judging by the narcissistic and&nbsp; meglomaniacal actions of Nero, it makes all the sense in the world for him to do it.</p><p><br /></p><p>and historically speaking, its a well known fact that he burned Christians alive merely to light his palace.-&nbsp; it makes sense that he would want a large palace if he was&nbsp; willing to light human beings on fire while alive just to illuminate it at night.</p><p><br /></p><p>its also a well known fact that only nero accused the christians- no one else.He wasnt even there when the fire happened. How could he know they did it? It all seemed too suspicious to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>later on Rome hated his guts so much that he killed himself( by his servant helping him) and they tried to erase his existance from history( including getting rid of alot of his coinage)</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://theconversation.com/mythbusting-ancient-rome-the-emperor-nero-65797" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://theconversation.com/mythbusting-ancient-rome-the-emperor-nero-65797" rel="nofollow">https://theconversation.com/mythbusting-ancient-rome-the-emperor-nero-65797</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
