<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2550460, member: 19463&quot;]When I think of Magnus Maximus I think of his role in religion.&nbsp; He was the first Christian ruler to execute other Christians for heresy and witchcraft.&nbsp; He censured Christians for burning a Jewish synagogue so it seems it was safer to be non-Christian than the wrong flavor of Christian.&nbsp; This general attitude has continued since in such matters as the East/West schism, Catholic/Protestant, Sunni/Shiite, Republican/Democrat, Liberal/Conservative or whatever other differences we invent as excuses for hating people not exactly like ourselves.&nbsp; Magnus Maximus did not invent hate but he did serve a role in its development.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
