Is Christianity a Cuckold Religion?

The story of the relationship between adultery, cuckolding and the building of larger than life characters has been a narrative puzzle from the very ancient times. The problem of losing women to strangers or to a king or a god has also been a continuous social question. We examine how Christianity deals with this problem and solves the puzzle.

He would have to wipe her vagina with a white towel after to show everyone if she was indeed a virgin by showing blood. If she wasn't, her and her family would be executed in front of the entire town. All this is illegal so they really don't like visitors roaming around their town.

Now, instead of dominance, we submit to the heavenly identity, the true top. Instead of force, we agree in free will. The virgin sacrifices their earthly potential or space and gains the heavens inside.

    1) Porn culture is also an attempt to solve this problem: everyone has access to all the women, everyone is a king. Except we pay up in other ways, and where everyone is a king no one is (unless he actually sleeps with porn stars). 2) God is both king and foreigner because he unites all clans in a single identity. Hence, Christ is a priest in the order of Malchizedek (a non-Jew) who tears down the dividing wall of hostility between Jew and Gentile. 3) There's a tradition which says that the nations are divided up among the "elohim" at Babel, as if to say confusion of language happens when there is division regarding our common transcendent ideal. I think "elohim" is the same word used in the passage that talks about the "sons of God" taking the "daughters of men" and producing the nephilim. If so, it seems clear that there is an incarnational lense at work, where the transcendent ideal generates a seed that creates hierarchy, set over against other ideals and hierarchies. Christ, who is the seed of God himself enthroned above all division (the king of kings and lord of lords), brings a spirit that creates offspring totally transcending national identity and bringing unity accross nations and values. That is why the eschatological ecclesia/cosmos is populated with many peoples, tribes, and tongues, and why we traditionally call Pentacost the reversal of Babel. 4) This is also why the martyrs are the only ones who can not be called "cuckolds." They "pay up" their own lives to the God whose husbandship is also virginity and purity. It is an uncorrupted union. But they also do this in response to His "paying down" with His own life. The solution is "we love him because he first loved us." And in fact, "He loved us before the foundation of the world." The truly human identity predates all of the division that occurs as a result of the fall. Christ returns us to paradise, the heart of God and the world. 5) For this reason, God's heart also always pushes us to care for those on the margin, because his eschatalogical vision is all encompassing and is not bound to this or that nation. 6) I think all of this is encapsulated beautifully in that passage from Hosea: "In that day, you will no longer call me 'my master' but ' my husband.' Masters devour their subordinates, husbands give themselves up for their subordinates. Forgive my rambling, but I think that is also why it is said, "man is the glory of God, but woman is the glory of man." It's that "flip" that Jonathan talks about: the lower is pushed up and exalted by the higher.

    shotinthedark90 interesting points. This is the first time I encounter a symbolic reasoning for priests and other people of the faith removing sexuality from their lives. The one piece Jonathan seems to not mention is that outsiders raping the women of a clan muddies the identity of the group, but the king (being the clearest representation of the identity of the group) clarifies the identity. Meaning giving your sexuality to god clarifies your identity as very clearly belonging to His clan. Obviously this is all symbolic and kings behaving this way has actually caused massive trauma to individuals, peoples and nations. Not to mention giving yourself up to God has also been crazy problematic. Most humans can not live like Mary lived.

Much in the way Deadpool played with the idea of fourth wall breaks (the actor/character becoming aware of the audience), it seems that the femdom and cuckold genres is a case of porn breaking the 4th wall and telling it's audience "this is what you really are". Jonathan, is Deadpool being pegged on international women's day a modern cultural reference to the disrobing of the king, the inversion of the pyramid, that happens on Halloween and other once yearly festivals?

    It’s absurd to think about it like that, someone saying that is in the same essence as cuckolding is missing the entire point and is thinking far too humanly, with nothing but pride and ego. You show love to your enemies because love is the most powerful thing we have at our disposal, and you would hope to see people change and become better and more than they are, and only love can do that, hating your enemies sure helps no-one. It’s an all too human response to think that if you’re nice to those who hate you all you will be met with is more hatred, it’s easy to get angry at someone, but it does no-one any good even if it is justified. But think about if you were angry at someone and yelling at them cussing them out and then they give you a hug and walk away. Does that mean you win the argument? No. It means that if you have a conscience you’re going to lie awake all night feeling as though you must have been in the wrong. And maybe you’ll see how you could’ve been better and come out the other end a better person for it.

    There are two reasons why protestants reject the notion that Mary was a virgin for the rest of her life, the first is because there is nothing wrong with sex within marriage and the other is because the bible says so. Catholics and Orthodox try to malign sex even within marriage. As if Mary loses her state of holiness by either being married, having sex and having children within marriage. The mere fact that they think so shows their odd relationship towards sexuality and pregnancy. Also, there is internal biblical evidence that shows that Mary did not remain a virgin because it says that Jesus had brothers and sisters. The common catholic notion that this was the case because Joseph already had children, but that is extra biblical. Love your videos Jonathan. Keep up the good work.

    Hello Mr Pageau! It is good to listen to a fellow French Canadian/Quebecois speaking English with such ease and eloquence! I hadn’t realized such profound insight could be found so close to home. You’ve already opened my eyes on many topics and I am very grateful. Great insight into why religious people give their sexuality to god. This really helps. My partner and I are working on reshaping the hero myth to fit a woman’s life structure. I believe the feminist movement can be translated in large part to “the myths and the stories society tells us do not resonate like they should.” I couldn’t even look at this problem properly a few years ago because I had my own resentment building up on the state of boys and men in this world. My answer to women being frustrated with their experience was very often “yes, but what about men?” It took stumbling onto Dr. Peterson crying on a radio show about that exact subject for me to grow to a new version of myself. I learned to aim to be a good king in my own mind in part because of that radio interview. I had found a guiding principle for how I should be and how men should be. I found that guiding principle to resonate at every level of my being. And it became clear it did not resonate the same way for the women around me. The broad strokes of archetypal guidance for women were Athena’s unreachable parody of male heroism (showing up in Wonder Woman, Captain Marvel and more subtly in Moana and Frozen) or Mary’s quiet helplessness and emotional martyrdom in the face of hardship. The other archetypal options seem to all be some kind of monster. It seems to me the Christ story set a blue print for heroes to come after. They are both a flawed man and a perfect god in the same instance. If they were to align with (destiny, their true self, their rightful place, the True Path, etc), they could be a true personification of Go(o)d. There is a burden and it was set upon you by your father. You can cast it off if you like, but you will not be whole. Luke Skywalker has an immense power at his disposal, but there is a right path. On that path, he can embody the best version of his father and himself. But he must choose. But the female goddess is never truly human. Athena was born from Zeus’ head. She is a male creation. She is impossible to embody since she has a strength women can not even aim at. And the Athena characters never have to make any difficult choices. They are Whole and separate. Mary does not represent the choice women have in mate selection. Her moment of glory was the birth of her son. Her moment of tragedy was the death of her son. She is a worried Penelope waiting, worried and useless. It seems to us that real female strength hasn’t been properly mythologized. There is more to the story of women than rape, love, birth and losing the men in their lives. Thanks for clarifying the past. You’re helping us see where we need to go next. Merci beaucoup

    I think your problem is that your assuming that it’s being mythologized and not that we just live in a reality that operates as such. The only realistic difference in a glory path for men and women is the warrior life of old heroes. Christ came and showed us that a life without any violence is a fulfilled life of glory. Currently women and men in Christianity have the same ideals to strive towards. Love the Lord your God, Sacrifice of self, and loving your neighbor as yourself are all completely achievable regardless of gender.

And I believe that there are mythologies that have come after the Bible that are in direct response to the ideas put forth in the characters of Jesus and Marie. King Arthur Superman Even Wonder Woman in her original version hit some archetypal notes perfectly for what female strength actually is... I think we’ve been clarifying our direction ever since.

    Hi Jonathan, I just wanted to thank you for this video. I wanted to comment because I've been listening to you for a while now, and you've helped me develop a better understanding of Christian symbolism. I think I would label myself agnostic at the moment, not because I do not believe in God, Christ, or Christianity, but because I also believe that there are objectively, genuinely Good elements of the ancient pagan societies which are often forgotten about. In a similar vein, there's a few instances with Judaism and Christianity that I would describe as contradictory to the overall message, and reading volumes of thought written by Christian theologians like Aquinas has not provided me with satisfactory answers, given that most theologians begin with an assumption of Truth which, whilst reasonable, often leads the argument in a certain direction. For example, the nature of the Trinity and who Christ is, really. The Trinity is comfortable and is a fantastic symbol, but beginning with the assumption it is real makes the arguments for its existence fairly bland. The reason I'm writing this comment is to address the notion of the divine cuckold in Joseph. I cannot at this time accept the assertions you make because of the following reasons: 1. I have always believed that the bond between a man and a woman, a bond forged out of True Love, is the bedrock of everything. It is the Divine Order of things that one man bonds faithfully and exclusively with one woman, and together they produce children that carry us onward. In an ideal world this can be maintained in perfect balance. The marital bond, and therefore sexual matters, are Sacramental in nature and therefore are a Good thing. In an ideal world, every man and every woman participates in this. 2. That this is not how Reality works is quite simply because we do not live in an ideal world, or, as some might put it, because we live in a Fallen world. All that is Evil in this world is a perversion of God's Good. 3. Thus, it cannot be true that God, the Most High, would seek to solve this problem by engaging a corrupt system utilizing it's own corrupt means. God calls men and women to be faithful to their wives, to go forth and multiply even in this Fallen world, and infidelity is a grievous sin. False marriages - those which are not built upon a bedrock of trust and love - are likewise a grievous sin. Otherwise the imagery of the Church as the Bride of Christ would fall flat, having no meaning. Ergo, the notion that Joseph was cuckolded by God, that he married a woman because he was told to, that he never consummated his marriage with her, and that this is all seen as the Good act of a Good God seems to me, to be, irreconcilable with the core tenets of Christianity. I'd say this i the main thorn in my side where Christianity is concerned, and I'm looking for a good answer. In light of this, I will say that any pagans who jump on this out of hate prove the claims of wickedness leveled against them, whilst any Christians who slander me are Christians in name only, lacking sympathy for a fellow believer who is searching for answers to difficult questions. Just because I do not accept the usual explanations does not mean that I renounce Faith.

    Perhaps this will help explain. Joseph was old. He had already been married and already had children. He married again to have someone to look after his children. Mary was an avowed virgin who had devoted herself to God from childhood. Joseph's role was to act as a protector and provider and in return she looked after the household and children. You can see how the arrangement makes sense.

    Maybe my perspective can help you or you can help me understand yours better. I think that the bedrock of everything is not the true love of a man and a woman. I think that the bedrock of everything is LOVE, this being the love of God and the love between a man and a woman is a manifestation of God. God is love. So, marriage and the bond between a man and a woman is just an aspect of life that can be perverted if not done correctly. Now having said that, when God made Mary pregnant He did not make her pregnant in the traditional way (having sex), He did it in a way that is divine and only can be done by Him, which allows her to remain a perpetual virgin. In that manner Joseph didn’t become a traditional cuckold. Joseph was still the rightful husband of Mary, only not having kids with her. And not having kids with Mary doesn’t negate his spot as her husband. I tried to explain my point of view the best I could. Hope it is helpful. God bless you

Christians, on the other hand, find it harder to answer questions about their faith and simply respond by being outraged. Maybe because christianity is super complex compared to paganism.

For instance, if I were to say that I believe in fire-breathing dragons and you were to say that they don't exist....it would not be rational for me to ask you to prove that they don't exist. The burden of proof lies on the one making the claim, not on the one denying that claim.

Without much deeper understanding of the symbolic principals and without a robust structure the sovereign individual is left adrift in a sea of atomized individuals all pulling in different directions and there he is, the one person taking it upon himself to do right when it's not certain what right is.

God has given Man Belief, within and as the human spiritual constitution for this one express purpose and this alone as Jesus is the redemption of God. So for example, one might ask, "do you 'believe' in ghosts?" My response would be "I Believe in Jesus. Now we can discuss our experiences, what we think we know, and how we come to know the existence or non- existence of things in this world or posit transcendental concepts to describe a shared life world, yet through any of this, 'belief' as it is a particular constitution of a sovereign/autonomous consciousness which I am, is Not required for any of these things. " In other words, having an absolute standard of Truth: Jesus, that exists for belief, (which exists in us all, solved the problem for me. Now, Jesus may not be an absolute standard of Truth for everyone, and even as my absolute standard of Truth, I may not have appropriatd All of my 'beliefs' to this standard(I have delusions, or believe certain things that could be considered false beliefs insofaras they are not grounded metaphysically in absolutes, or are pressuppositions, assumptions of provisional necessity etc. But it would be and is my sovereign responsibility to correct my own errors with regard to these, just as it is every individuals responsibility and freedom to do so for and within themselves. I don't know if this correct, decent or even favorable to my own self actualization, but holy shit, this world is an insane asylum without the kind of personal responsibility individual sovereignty allows.

    The idea of the synthesis that you referred to in the latter part of your video, between the highest and the lowest, can also be found in some of Nietzsche's writings; in the first part of Thus Spoke Zarathursra, Zarathustra was descending from a mountaintop, and as he was descending, he looked up towards the sky, and across the sky, he saw an eagle flying with a snake twirled around it's neck as it's ally, and not as it's enemy or prey. This is an echo of the Christian symbol of the crucified god, of the dying god, and of the dead god. It's a merging of the highest values and of the lowest values, and it's an expression of the idea that the way that you protect yourself from dragons and serpents and birds of prey and men of prey is by becoming more and more like them, and turning their weapons on themselves. And, this is the solution to the problem of the external predator, of the adversary, of the barbarian, of the invader, of the conqueror from the strange land, of the monster, of the alien-king, of the dragon. Interestingly enough, if you take this idea all the way to the extreme, all the way to it's natural end, then what you get is the maxim that says that: in order to triumph over the Devil, you must imitate him, and in order to fulfill the mandates of god, you must first fulfill the mandates of the one who stands against him. Heavy stuff. It's profound and uplifting and horrifying and paradoxical all at the same time. What do you think? Did I get anything wrong? (I really hope you see this.)

    Much of what is invisible drives society in harmony. Customs, beliefs, superstitions, the ideal man. The kings may change, but the culture of the particular hierarchies remains relatively unchanged…as long as the new king comes from within the culture. When new rulers/kings come from without…well, that is what we call war and history. These customs, beliefs and superstitions are all seeded from within a particular tradition, and most likely it’s not till recent times that we could even conceive of one really separating the idea of a religion from one’s culture. So, while figures like Zeus are the source of cucking, Christ was a result of to it, and instead of a creed the stems from one point/place and enforces itself in a top down manner, it is one that arises from the bottom to the top. From servants and slaves. Taking over not from within, but from without. Truly an inversion. It’s interesting to think about the concept of the Virgin, for who else could remain one in a king’s domain, except most likely his own daughters and wife(s). The king’s daughter, the princess in the castle; a prize sought out by many a knight. That, which is at the very centre. One would have to be quite a catch to win her, you definitely wouldn’t want to upset her father. Who would dare date a gangster’s daughter? A seed falls on the ground, out from which grows a tree. Beasts of field and birds of sky, live with man in harmony. But the land it does not go on forever, very soon it reaches the sea. No lines, no marks; no signs, no arks. How are we to agree? Many kings have tried to command the waters as their own lands, But none have managed yet to give form to that upon which Christ stands.

    That's one of the most interesting perspectives on ancient history and on the history of religion/theology I've heard. I think you're definitely on the right track there to be honest. I've come from the Jewish perspective of thinking that Christianity was just an invalid follow up to the Torah because of its internal inconsistency, but coming from the perspective of evolutionary psychology and of theology and social theory it seems much more viable. I've often thought of Christianity as being the thing that "saved" the Roman empire and perpetuated it up until the last two hundred years or so when the so called Enlightenment came along with experimental thought/empiricism and "killed god". I've also come the the conclusion that in doing so we've thrown the baby out with the bathwater. So what if there isn't an actual being that generates existence from will, that you can pray to and will hear you; it's damn useful to have the structure there to give society something to frame around and to interact within. We need something new and old to stabilize the world now, especially the west, as we've now come so far with technology that we've become a new species for all intents and purposes. We've gone beyond our ability to adapt effectively to the point that people are falling apart and scrambling for anything, any ideology, any cause, any lifestyle that will give them their niche, their specific adaptive role, but there's very little cohesion so simple things like having friends, finding a mate, raising children, which used to come fairly easily are just not happening anymore for a great many people. I think a new way to practice and view an old religion may be just what's needed and Christianity seems like a pretty good candidate, as much as I appreciate the legalistic clarity and impeccable logic of the Talmud and dislike the sanctimoniousness of the Christian church as I've known it, I think it has a great deal of personal utility when understood well enough and doesn't restrict the freedom of the individual as much as Judaism. Hope that wasn't too much to read through. I tried to condense my thoughts into a paragraph.

    Christianity is a “nurturing” follow up to the Torah. This is where Moses screwed up - Moses did not understand or identify with women. 1) Moses tells you to stone adulterous women in Deuteronomy. 2) Numbers 30 tells you that fathers completely own their daughter and husbands completely own their wife. 3) In the Midianite war of Numbers 31, Moses tells Israel to slay all the women who have had sex with men. This goes back to Genesis 34 when Simeon and Levi slay the inhabitants of Shechem for the son of the King supposedly defiling Dinah. Moses views women as something that gets inherently defiled and unclean easily, like his forefather Levi. And Levi was actually never blessed by Jacob, but cursed in Genesis 49. Compare this to the fact that Jesus is well received amongst women in the Gospels and the fact that the patriarchal Pharisees hate Jesus.

What did Rebekah see in Jacob? Rebekah did not see Mosaic Law (in which Moses doesn’t know how to respect women), Rebekah saw Jesus in Jacob. Judah said of Tamar in Genesis 38 “she is more in the right than I am.” You will never find that humbleness in Moses or the Mosaic Law.

Which in turn attacked their own rank , wanting to be above all nobles as kings in centralized states by using the merchant class - which then attacked them in the set pattern and then got attacked by the peasant/soldier class that was then attacked by the lowest of the low journalists,actors and artists that got controlled by the lowest of the lowest of the low on the outsiders/killers-deniers of Christ - that are now worshiped by evangelicals .Which brings us to modern day .

Oikophilia can be a problem just as much as oikophobia (right hand sin x left hand sin?), and perhaps it is destined to be, unless people realise His Kingdom is not of this world - and that it is infinitely more important to belong to His Kingdom than to any other.

    No one, so far as I can see, has made reference to conceptio per aurem, the understanding that Mary conceived via her ear, not her womb, by hearing the word spoken to her at the Annunciation. Athanasius of Alexandria: “Come and gaze upon this marvellous feat: the woman conceives through the hearing of her ears!” Ephrem of Syria : “Like the Burning Bush on Horeb (Mount Sinai) which carried God in the heart of the flames, so Mary brought Christ into her virginity: through her ear the Divine Word of the Father entered and dwelt secretly in her womb.” Many icons, Eastern and Western, that allude to this. Seems relevant.

    Glad to see this covered. Good job, I think, though I disagree in some ways. Cuckolding can also be a psychological attempt to deal with the fear of betrayal, I think, precisely by directly experiencing it, or consciously confronting that fear. It seems also to be a desire to regain a brotherhood by which we once again entertain equally a community of women. Cuckolding was also an at once political and personal issue binding President Bill Clinton in relation to David Koresh. Koresh apparently had his senior guy, Steve Sneider’s wife - (something which the FBI negotiator Max chided Sneider about, along with the communal bases of the group) - while Bill Clinton - (“the most powerful man in the world” who those FBI agents were obeying in the name of the good, and even of God) - was notorious for his sexual escapades, in which one husband presumably committed suicide. This is the very character of the common worship of power, in spite of its moral contradictions, which Abraham recognized of the Egyptians. It is significant, I think, in that cuckolding of Sarah by Pharaoh, that plagues came upon the Egyptians and they repented so that Abraham came out with great wealth and herds and flocks. What if that cuckolding of the poor by the powerful, becomes therefore the means by which the seeming justice of the powerful is shown in its hypocrisy, since such a concealed injustice is never brought into the open because of its apparent shame? It seems to me that this is part of the idea that Joseph thought to put Mary away privily, not willing to make her a public example; and yet, it was God’s intent to make the very excesses of power known, so that they - rather than Christ, who despised the shame - are shown to be the truly shameful, since they publicly manipulate the truth to fit their own purposes of power and control while arguing a freedom and justice for all.

    One of the possible benefits of monastic celibacy was an independence of conscience. Often critics of power would have their families lives' threatened by the powerful. Even these critics were willing to die for their conscience, they often would not be willing allow their families perish. With celibate monks this threat was eliminated. Some of the moral advancements first formulated within monastic orders ( say the first criticisms of slavery, even concerning enslaved non-Christians, that emanated from certain Catholic orders) perhaps may have gotten better momentum absent the threat of familial violence.

    I’m trying to look at it from a perspective that says God used the barbaric tradition of child sacrifice as a way to supplant that tradition when he told Abraham to sacrifice Isaac. The sacrifice became animal instead of human. I think Jonathan is saying something similar is happening with Mary being impregnated by God. In this case, it’s what has been called ‘droit de seigneur’ in medieval times. The similarity is, of course, the claim that something is achieved while not being achieved, i.e. that is, Mary conceives even though no sex took place, Abraham makes his sacrifice by intention while no (human) sacrifice took place. In both cases, an old evil tradition is supplanted by a less savage one. I’m just not sure whether this is a coincidence or something that could be proved within the inner logic of the scriptures.

    This one was hard to follow, but as far as I could tell, the argument is Christianity keeps the social order together by aiming for a higher ideal, the highest ideal actually, instead of becoming slaves to our animal instincts. With the rise in cuckolding today, we see the societal results: rampant divorce, declining marriage rates, broken families, rise of the power of the state - all factors that do not bode well for the survival of our civilization. I wonder how much of this is the result of the decline/demonization of traditional masculinity...

    Protestants believe Mary was a virgin when Jesus was conceived, but then after that she consummated her marriage with Joseph normally. That makes Joseph not a cuckold at all, and doubly so. And doesn’t subtract from Mary’s purity, since sex in marriage is not sinful at all, but actually what is to be expected from the couple in God’s purpose. On the contrary, Mary staying a perpetual virgin adds to the angle that Joseph was “played” by God and lost his wife to God.

    Only idiots or ignoramuses unironically believe in the virgin birth myth. 1. The "real" Jesus was totally based but Christianity was always cucked. 2. The real-life man on whom the figure of Jesus Christ was based (Yeshua ha-Nasi?) was a Hellenistic Jew who would despise Christianity (but he would love Christians and pity them more than anything because he was a chill dude). 3. His father Joseph was most likely of an ancient Judaic royal-aristocratic line and his sexually conceived first born son Yesous would have been an heir to his title. But the Jerusalemite Jewish religious establishment, both Saducees and, especially Pharisees, hated him and his followers. They wanted to be rid of that uppity Hellenistic Jew known as subversive Hellenistic Jew known as Jesus and to neutralize his followers. [The Feast of Hannukah celebrates the slaughter of Greeks and Hellenizers by the Macabees.] They started vicious rumors including that his mother was a "whore" and that his paternity was unknown. [The Talmud actually accuses Mary the mother of Jesus of being a whore.] Because, oy vey! That uppity subversive Hellenizer must not be of royal lineage! 4. There is an ancient joke that if a man appears to be of mysterious paternity, of cuckoldry is otherwise suspected, that his mother was a virgin. That joke has been funny 3000 years on! But it was in that vein that the claim of Jesus being born to a virgin was most likely originated. A latter follower of Jesus (could very likely have been Saint Paul) twisted the virgin birth meme from a joke about his mother being of ill repute into propaganda transmogrifying Jesus from a rogue phil-Hellenic philosopher into some sort of weird pagan deity. [Even though the idea of virgin birth is absurd on its face. Were Jesus conceived parthenogenically, at best he would have been female. Parthenogenesis HAS been observed occurring in nature, but never in humans, and I am unsure if it has ever been observed in mammals, but given the operation of mammalian reproduction, the offspring would necessarily be female for want of a Y-chromosome with SRY gene. "But Jesus was the Son of God!" So then, God must have a Y-haplogroup... These same Christians will accuse atheists of strawman with the man-in-the-clouds meme "God is purely a magical disembodied spirit!"] 5. Likewise, Herod's Shoah could never have occurred. It was a contrived excuse to get Joseph to drag his family to Egypt. While we may never know why Joseph decided to move his family to Egypt (or conversely why Joseph decided to move his family from Egypt to Palestine, settling in Nazareth/Galilee if Jesus was originally born in Egypt), it would be there where Joseph, Mary, and the Young Jesus, dwelling amongst the Hellenistic Jews of Alexandria would be exposed to Greek language, culture, and thought. It explains why the Gospels posit Jesus quoting from the Septuagint. 6. The Jerusalemite religious authorities assassinated the troublesome Alexandrine Jew but were unable to entirely stamp out his radically reformist movement (not necessarily a novel religion). A nascent Jesus movement enjoyed some measure of success in Hellenizing the local Jews. This created a sort of "via media" or middle path between Hellenic philosophy and normative Judaism. 7. Along came Saul the Jew. Originally a devout Pharisee hellbent on persecuting these early "Hebrew Christians" but he had a suspiciously convenient Heel-Face Turn and decided to champion the new religion. It is obvious that he realized that this middle path movement could be weaponized against the goyim. If Jesus could Hellenize Jews, then (((Paul))) could Judaize goyim. Motivated by revenge, Saul/Paul created the Christian religion to subvert, weaken, and destroy the Roman Empire from within. 8. And the rest is history...

Grey also represents the wisdom of years and the ability to grapple with problems not with force but with wisdom or practical experienced ways. so someone more wise who is being maligned by someone less so is being cuckolded, maybe do to less power of arms, may become grey because he has to put up with the cuckolding.

We stopped reacting the pattern of the Blessed Virgin Mary, so we are falling back to the pattern of cuckold... Just an endnote, obviously the modern cuckold is not to a king or an invasor (well...sometimes it is...), but is notorious that women in general are having multiple sexual partners to hypergamy her choices, and when the most "prestigious" (ie, the "king") has a children with her and leaves, she will settle down to a more stable pattern to raise that children...or be a single mother...which is certainly a bigger problem...

    Christianity, TRUE Christianity, is like no other "religion" on the earth. First off, it's not a religion. It's the TRUTH. The point of religions is that they are attempting to work their way into heaven. You CANNOT work your way into Heaven. The ONLY thing you can do to enter Heaven is to come to the knowledge of the Truth(The Gospel), Believe it, and Trust Jesus Christ as your Savior. Once you have done that, you are Saved. It's a done deal. You are going to Heaven. Now how you live and what good works you perform AFTER being Saved determines your Blessings ON earth for the remainder of their life AND their rewards in Heaven. Some Christians will get to Heaven and have nothing to show for their works and they will receive no rewards. A Saved person can live a life of sin after getting Saved and God will shorten their lives and their lives will be made miserable because they aren't living how God wants them to, which grieves The Holy Spirit. But they ARE going to Heaven. TRUE Christianity is like no other "religion" because they exist to give. NOT TAKE. Any so-called "church" or "ministry" out there demanding money from you is NOT of God. God Loves a cheerful giver, and if the ministry is true and doing what it's supposed to, God will make sure it gets what it needs. NO OTHER religion exists to give as does Christianity. Saving people from the penalty of sin and giving are the two FARTHEST things from being a cuck. Anybody who doesn't recognize this is a fool.

    I think Christianity did hurt Rome. The Romans used paganism in conquests to maintain territories and they couldn't square that circle of one God and I think that undermined their civilization over time.

    Then why did it take until 1453 for the Roman Empire to finally end?
