Truth is, If the Roman state wanted to exterminate a group, they could and did. Really any state could do the same. The Romans and Persians exterminated the ManicheansThe Japanese exterminated their own Christian tumor. Christians had taken over whole entire provinces in Japan, lords and all, yet all were put to thr sword and recanted their "faith" or died.The Christians themselves exterminated various sects of hereseys such as the bogomils, Cathars, etc, not to mention the native religions of Europe, which were wiped out without a trace for the new semitic dogma."Muh persecution" is just another artifact of Christianity's Jewish heritage. A victim complex which justifies their own genocidal and schizotypical behavior. Like jews, the most the christians suffered pogrom type massacres after they pissed off the local peasantry. The Christians were protected by the state more often that not. For if not, the local people would have killed them all 4x over for trying to replace their native European faiths for some bizarre semitic death cult.

>>17279528>In the meantime the spread of Christianity throughout the empire proceeded at a steady pace. Wherever the representatives of Mithras arrived, there a Christian community immediately sprang up. By the end of the second century, there were already at least four bishop’s sees in Britannia, sixteen in Gaul, sixteen in Spain, and one in practically every big city in North Africa and the Middle East. In 261 Christianity was recognized as lawful religion by the mithraic Gallienus and was proclaimed the official religion of the empire by the mithraic Constantine at the beginning of the fourth century, although it was still in a minority in Roman society. It was then gradually enforced upon the population of the empire, with a series of measures that culminated at the end of the fourth century with the abolition of the pagan religions and the mass “conversion” of the Roman senate.>The final situation regarding the ruling class of the Western Empire was the following: the ancient nobility of pagan origin had virtually disappeared and the new great nobility, that identified itself with the senatorial class of the landowners, was made up by former members of the Sol Invictus Mitras. On the religious level, paganism had been eliminated and Christianity had become the religion of all the inhabitants of the Empire; it was controlled by ecclesiastical hierarchies, coming entirely from the senatorial class, endowed with immense landed properties and quasi-royal powers within their sees. The priestly families had become the absolute master of that same Empire that had destroyed Israel and the Temple of Jerusalem. All its high offices, both civil and religious, and all its wealth were in their hands, and supreme power had been entrusted in perpetuity, by divine right, to the most illustrious of the priestly tribes, the “Gens Flavia” (starting from Constantine all Roman emperors bore the name of Flavius), in all likelihood descendants of Josephus Flavius.
