Like most people, this author only knows the history of the last has-been 
professor at some public U told him.
Nero did what Hitler and thousands of other leaders have always done 
throughout history, is look for scapegoats when the shit hits the fan.
Christians were easy scapegoats because the Jews hated them, the christians 
themselves were fighting amongst each other and if you think those 
"christians" bear even the remotest resemblence to modern day Catlicks, 
Epistlepale Aliens and prostratestants, then you know nothing.

Nero blamed the christians after the great fire of Rome and when the mob 
started blaming him for it.  Christians were easy.  Yup, those crazy 
fuckers must have been the ones...after all, they're just crazy jews and we 
know those fucking jews have been causing 100's of years of trouble in the 
east; lets blame them.


 Even today in Communist China, Christians are not beaten,

Everyone hates used religion salesmen...

what god wants, want to do with harry ticks.

With the exception of Bush, who has isn't the sharpest nail in the 
pnuematic belt-fed gun, all politicians have to profess undying belief in 
this silly shit, even though, like most intelligent and eduacated people, 
they're really atheists and agnostics and only do profess belief in thunder 
gods, things that go bumb in the night because the great mooing masses of 
sheeple belief in this silly shit.
It's called "political expedience".
You kiss a baby, you promise no new taxes, you pray to christ, you pork 
your secretary late at night and make sure the blinds are shut.

The rest of this boring tripe snipped because my attention span glazed over 
like a crackling sugar coating on a roast pig at 450 degrees for 1 hour.
