On December 25, 274, Aurelian, after unifying the Roman Empire, instituted Roman monotheism under the god Sol.The other gods were relegated to mere saints focused on practical causes, such as the saint of marriage (Eros) and the saint of metalworkers (Hephaestus).Later, the only thing Flavius Constantinus and Flavius Theodosius did was replace the god Sol (Sol was the god's name) with Jesus, who had been created by their family during the time of Flavius Vespasianus and Flavius Titus.And, over time, the names of the saints were changed from pagan names to Catholic names.Why did the name Flavius become more important than the name Caesar after the Christianization of the Empire? Because Jesus was created in the Roman court during the era of Flavius Vespasianus and Flavius Titus, and later made the official religion by Flavius Constantinus and Flavius Theodosius (who were secretly descendants of Vespasianus' family)

>>18244313>Because Jesus was created in the Roman courtYou were mostly right up until that point.
>>18244313I don’t think you understand how pagan religions actually worked.The cult of Sol Invictus was not monotheistic nor exclusive, Aurelian still worshiped traditional Roman gods alongside Sol Invictus (and Sol Invictus himself is just a syncretization of the Roman sun god Sol with the Syrian sun god Elagabal), he never sought to displace traditional Roman religious practices like Christianity did. The various mystery cults like Mithraism also heavily syncretized with Greco-Roman paganism as people still worshiped traditional gods alongside their gods of their mystery cult (and oftentimes equated traditional gods with theirs. For example, Mithras was equated with Sol). Historically, religious syncretism was the norm and outside of the Abrahamic religions, it is still arguably the norm. Look at modern Japan for example, according to several surveys Japan is both 70% Buddhist and 70% Shinto at the same time because historically Buddhism tended to syncretize with local religions and nobody ever saw any contradictions in that. Similarly in India, many other religions such as Buddhism, Sikhism, and Jainism heavily syncretize with Hindu traditions. “Paganism” itself is just a broad term for all non-Abrahamic religions, so by that definition, religions such as Zoroastrianism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Jainism, Taoism, Shinto, etc are also all technically “pagan.”The Abrahamic religions with their insistence on “orthodoxy” and “heresy” are actually a historic anomaly. The idea that people can only belong to one religious tradition is an Abrahamic invention that never would have existed otherwise.
Fuck, circumcsion is so evil
