agree. The sincerity of his so called conversion has been greatly exagerrated. It had much more to do with politics than religion. The cult of Christianity had become so numerous by his time that continued persecution was no longer practical.

This is Alternate history, I exagerate as much as i want!:mad:

And this isn't exagerating much, by this time Constantine was thoughrly christian
 
You certainly have the right to, and I like the idea... partly perhaps because I think I helped inspire it, if you're meaning this to be a rewrite of the Constantine Crusade TL like I think you are... however, I'd caution you not to write all of your timeline ideas at once, because IIRC you have quite a few out there (not sure if all are still going though...). That said, I'm interested to see where the reprise goes. :)

Well alot of my TL's have turned into Byzantine wanks really fast. (Not the ressurection of the western empire, but thats an exception). say goodbye to ASB :D
 
Did you even read my earlier response? Constantine WAS a christian well before the Persian campaign, and had IOTL plans to put Hannibalus on the Armenian throne....

Do some reasearch :mad:
 
So you dont belive in the human nature of Christ?

Wouldn't that make you a Docetist? (The human body of Christ and the Crucifixion are illusions)
or a Monophytist? (Christ only has Divine Nature)

To my understanding, Gnostics dont believe Chirst was divine, but a messanger from the Supreme God to lead the people of the world through the realms of the Demiurge and Archons.

Gnosticism is Polytheist.

Then again who am I to force you to be a certain Religion?
Believe what you want.....

Some say more that it was to continue to confer and better unify the Christian camps around his successors...though I can see this as a more political ploy to interfeare in Persian politics with a excuse.
 
Whatever he was OTL, having him be a committed Christian and pushing that (beyond what he did OTL) makes a reasonable point of departure, in my opinion.

I mean, Christianity doesn't have nearly as much influence as in this timeline. If we can accept the idea that it might even approach 95%, surely Constantine being a more devout Christian - some minor changes that don't mean anything except to him personally (except how that changes what he does) could probably cause that - is within the realm of an acceptable AH tweak.

You could say rather that by this time the Christian church was thoroughly Constantine's, integrated into the Roman buerocracy.
