I keep seeing new posts here and eagerly click the thread to learn the latest recruiting news. Silly me.
It’s a dead period after signing day. Won’t be much news other than maybe some transfer stuff in the coming weeks.I keep seeing new posts here and eagerly click the thread to learn the latest recruiting news. Silly me.

Sorry, I should’ve elaborated. Not complaining about time I’m wasting, but rather that I keep seeing updates here, get excited that there’s news, only to open the thread and see some ongoing argument about religion.Indeed. Thirty seconds of your life you'll never get back. Shame
Nope, just a bunch of people talking about how "some" Christians say mean things, and hurt their feelings, all the while non-Christians espousing the details of a religion and a bible they claim not to agree with, but are simultaneously experts on . . . lolI keep seeing new posts here and eagerly click the thread to learn the latest recruiting news.

Wake Forest got rid of the Baptists long ago so they could hire an imam with radical jihadist beliefs, just sayingExcuse me. We have a Baptist heritage. Point stands.
Emperor Constantine moved it to overshadow the holiday of the birth of the god Mithra.I always wondered why we don't celebrate his birth in his actual birth month. Instead someone chose December 25th instead.
I wouldn’t say “to overshadow.” Mithra, the god of the unconquerable sun, was likely Constantine’s personal favorite god. It is why Sunday is the first day of the week.Emperor Constantine moved it to overshadow the holiday of the birth of the god Mithra.
Sunday yes. But Constantine was also the first Roman emperor to convert to Christianity. Not trying to argue, I’m no expert by any means. Just passing along something I learned recently in a study of early Christian church history.I wouldn’t say “to overshadow.” Mithra, the god of the unconquerable sun, was likely Constantine’s personal favorite god.

There is a big debate over whether he converted or just allowed Christianity to practice freely because his mother was a devout Christian!Sunday yes.

My area of research is the Late Bronze and Iron Age Near East but I have to teach enough Roman crap that I could participate. I’d be happy to include earlier stuff though if you just want to do ancient history in general!A crossover college football recruiting and Ancient Roman History thread is the second best present I received today.
Do you guys want to start a Classics thread over in the Pit?
I could see that. Perhaps the holiday was moved to appease those in his family and to celebrate both at the same time.There is a big debate over whether he converted or just allowed Christianity to practice freely because his mother was a devout Christian!
Christian educational goals of a certain kind. There are many forms of Christianity. I doubt that a "genuine Christian" at Liberty would view someone at, say, Sewanee as a "genuine Christian." To each his or her own. Tolerate others and don't be so dogmatic.Most liberals at a Baptist-affiliated school hate Christians. The criticism of Liberty is not because of it’s genuine pursuit of Christian and educational goals. You are such a pathetic victim.
Liberty does not tolerate others which is the problem.Christian educational goals of a certain kind. There are many forms of Christianity.

I have no idea what this comment means.You guys need to be somewhere else where there is any relevancy
