I assume this is fine for the rules since punching Nazis is kinda the whole gist of 196. Also there's no real rules to follow ๐คทโโ๏ธ

I was surprised to learn that Constantine is seen by many thought leaders in the protestant christian communities as a corruptor. Opinions of Constantine makes a fascinating litmus to start separating those who see religion as a source of power from those who see it as a calling to better the world. Not that most lay christians have a clue who he is, or his role in standardizing christianity to the Roman system of government, let alone the structural implications of the move
A theologian I spoke to pointed out that even Martin Luther didn't revert the changes Constantine wrought, like the holy day being on the sabbath instead of Sunday to commemorate Easter every week. I guess roughly 1200 years of habits are hard to break, when Constantine only had a few hundred years to contend with, and there were so many sects of a very different Christianity even then (Nestorians, Syriacs, Copts etc).
That gnostic shits really cool too and the beliefs were so fucking varied. Even had the "our God is evil for making a physical world in universe made for spirituality" types.
