I have always found it so arrogant the way
the modern scholars are quick to assume acient
sources are lying.


I think one the reasons they do it, is that
hate the Bible and always tried to say
it is false and that attitude of saying
ancient sources are false because of the desirer
to undermine the Bible has spilled over
to Ancient history in general.

I think it is deeper than that. Things have changed so much since the introduction of Christianity.

It seems to me life was much more brutal before Christ - think of the Colusseum, or Sparta - and that by trying to humanize some of these barbaric civilizations, like the Aztecs or Ancient Rome, they are saying Christianity has made no difference in the heart of man over the centuries.

The fact of the matter is, where true Christianity has flourished, man gets freer and life is better. So many of the great reforms come through Christianity, such as abolition, and the revisionists work hard to keep the kids from learning that.

To this day most people don't realize that Christianity was mainly responsible for the downfall of Communism in the Soviet Union.
