This film made me irreparably angry.
Religion of peace.
>>220179613apparently she was politically very close to the governor of Egypt and the bishop of Alexandria, too important figures in the roman east, apparently that pissed off the monophysites which were iconoclasts. My guess thr roman authorities allowed the lynching because they couldn't afford to piss off the faster growing movement in such an important province
Christianity: A Progressive Disease.
>being gaslit by a propaganda film written and directed by a homosexual spanish communist
>>220180982> She was tolerant toward Christians and taught many Christian students, including Synesius, the future bishop of Ptolemais. Ancient sources record that Hypatia was widely beloved by pagans and Christians alike and that she established great influence with the political elite in Alexandria. Toward the end of her life, Hypatia advised Orestes, the Roman prefect of Alexandria, who was in the midst of a political feud with Cyril, the bishop of Alexandria. Rumors spread accusing her of preventing Orestes from reconciling with Cyril and, in March 415 AD, she was murdered by a mob of Christians led by a lector named Peter.it seems to me that her murder was politically motivated, not because of a feud between christians and pagans
>>220181536She wasn't Pagan; she was Neoplatonist.
>>220181921thats paganism, sweatie.

>>220179613Made up bullshit like the pyramids
>>220182130It's being a Christian for people that think Christians are too brown
>>220179613She had nice feet
>>220181536Everyone agrees that her murder was specifically politically motivated, but this was coming out during the "Christians bad, atheist good" time of the late 00's so they had to put that spin on it.
>>220181536I mean , it can easily be both.Political enemies uses religious fanaticism as a weapon to eliminate their enemies since ever.It is literally the reason why most religions ended up turning into such shitholes, the very moment a corrupt guy is part of it, it becomes a very abusable power
