#Rome
The seat of power for the Christianity.
Now let’s see this city in a slightly different light. #Thread

#Rome is a city engineered to display the ruins and destruction of the polytheist Romans and the victory and glory of the Christians.
The stark contrasts are not mere a product of time, they are a statement.

This is the #Pantheon
‘Temple of all Gods’. It predates Christ. The polytheist Romans worshipped Gods of forces of nature here. The central occulus- a hole in the ceiling- is the entry of all forces of nature inside. #Rome

The official line of a guide: “in 7th century, #Pantheon turned into the Church of St Mary’.
As if one day, the building decided to get baptized.
#Rome is full of Babri-Ram Janm Bhoomi style stories involving Christian destruction and take over of polytheist temples.

Furthermore, they have actual tombs of a king and a queen inside the #Pantheon.
I have a feeling that was a deliberate step to willfully desecrate the place that the polytheist Romans believed sacred. #Rome

There once was a temple of #Hercules in #Rome. The area was turned into a cattle market in early days of Christianity- obviously intentionally.
Later, the temple, in the words of the guide ‘Made way for a church of St Mary’.
#Rome

What do you hear of the Roman emperor #Nero?
Lazy,
Vain,
Stupid,
Crazy,
Nero played fiddle while #Rome burned....
Why? Because winners write history.
Why was Rome burning? Because Christians under Pope’s order were burning it down.

#Nero was the last stand of polytheist Romans against Christian theocracy. He stood against Christian invasion for solid 7 years.
Before Nero, Pope conspired assasinations of 4 Roman Caesars within a year.
Nero tired and frustrated them, so they ridiculed him later. #Rome

The Two stories that ring familiar:
The guides joke about ‘Romans used urine to wash themselves because they thought it was cleansing.- ha ha ha!’
The frequent ‘Cow piss’ insult that the monotheists use against the Indians.

Second: Nero committed suicide after losing because he was coward and couldn’t face judgment by the Pope.
Savarkar?

Hygiene, superstition and valor(or lack thereof) are the standard derisive points against polytheist ancient faiths used by invading monotheist Abrahmics- while they love their camel excreta, virgin birth, crucification...#Rome

Someone stabs Nero to death in defeat: ‘Coward Nero committed suicide by asking a slave to kill him.”

Someone crucifies Jesus after capture: ‘God’s son sacrificed own life to purge evil and take your sins away with him.’

Coming back to all the ancient polytheist Roman temples being taken over, desecrated, turned into tombs and ruins or churches by the victorious Christian forces is what you would expect- that’s exactly what people do.

Islamic invaders did exactly the same in India. Took over the Hindu temples, looted, desecrated them, took over and made their own marks- tombs, prayer halls, mosques- in them.

It is interesting to see is that the Italian locals have converted to Christianity so strong over the centuries, even they don’t seem to mind the desecration and hostile takeover of the temples of their ancient gods.
They’ve fully submitted to Christianity in rule and power.

Those who rule the land, have unquestioned control over the places of worship- and vice versa.

Similarly, the Babri Masjid in India!

Know who holds the power based on who can take control of the place of worship.

Only if polytheists with any strength were left in India!
