yeah ...... reality sometimes gets in the way of a good yarn huh!

Check out your history, leave aside all the Gody stuff and have a read about Emperor Constantine I - not the wiki web and all that mallarchy I mean a proper history book....things with paper and ink and stuff. You'd be amazed at what them darn Romans did for Christianity, for example the lads from the Legio III Gallica who saved Christianity from dying out altogether!

Gipper, seriously, if you forget all the Religion and dogma and just read the contemporary accounts and histories you'd be surprised at how interesting the early history of Christianity is. To give you a flavour of it the story pretty well starts with a Centurian and his detail on duty at the Citadel on what is now Temple Mount in Jerusalem; a guard commander of the III Gallica saved some schmuck called Saul of Tarsus from having his head ripped off by a very pissed off bunch of temple goers, they grabbed the daft mother from this croud and fought their way back to the Citadel to save this idiots life....

Check out Saul because he has another biblical name and is a pretty important chappie for them Christian folk!

........and as they say Gipper, the rest is history!
