He came over to your side yesterday and is changing the state over to your ideology. They're still going to do imperialism and slavery and everything, and nothing will fundamentally change, but it'll still be your ideology, totally.

They've been feeding you to lions for centuries because of your refusal to acknowledge the state's authority. Now they'll stop, unless you deviate from the state-approved version in any way, in which case they'll burn you at the stake. The state-approved version involves acknowledging the state's authority.

He seems oddly keen on having everyone go around flashing a symbol of the cruel and humiliating way the state brutally executed your founder.

You don't get a say in what the state-approved version will look like, but he'll preside over ever meeting deciding that. There won't be any more communes.
Your network of communes began as a doomsday cult eagerly waiting for the apocalypse to happen where the empire you live under would be destroyed, but that didn't happen so you've all just been kinda hanging out in secret meetings trying to support each other and survive :doomer:
The fundamental difference between you and me is I have studied Roman history. He wasn't assassinated, he was executed because he was causing a ruckus. The Romans killed troublemakers all the time. Why were early Christians pacifists? Why did the apostles get money from Judea and move it to the rest of the empire? Why were Christians happy the temple, the greatest image of Judea, was destroyed? Why does no surviving apocrypha have a more militaristic Jesus? Why would the Jews in Rome have trouble with others who wanted to free Judea? There is simply too great of evidence for Jesus to have not been a violent revolutionary, and none for him to have been.
