The prosecution in this instance is simply the charge against Constantine and his successors of the fraudulent misrepresentation of ancient history. My understanding is that there does not yet exist any firm scholarly consensus of opinion concerning the nature of Julian's invectives. Julian IMO was a barrister for the above prosecution who was then censored by subsequent generations of the christian regime - specifically Cyril of Alexandria. Best wishes, Pete Quote:

If you had not descended on the alt.surfing newsgroup where I was obliviously minding my own business, and made some scathing evangelical diatribe, I would not indeed have followed all this though to the above conclusion. --end-- In other words, he made up the story out of malice and spite towards myself (I don't post "evangelical diatribes", as posters here know). And, when the obvious falsity is pointed out, demands "prove me wrong." All the best, Roger Pearse |

Whether MM has done his own research, or merely cribbed mine without acknowledgement is for others to determine. All the best, Roger Pearse |

In response to Roger and J-D
I quote an ancient historian. Is Momigliano also a crank? I dont think so. Quote:

Other threads relevant to the emperor Julian ....
Are political issues important to textual criticism in the case of Julians Galilaeans Did Emperor Julian "LIE" when he said FICTION (of wicked men)? |

Where abouts in your "realisation" did my insistent references to carbon dating fit? We have Nag Hammadi with a C14 date of 348 CE (See Fox) and we have gJudas with a C14 date of 290 CE (both + or - 60 years). Everywhere I have written I have accepted the principles of Popperian falsifiability and it will be up to you to demonstrate this is not the case. The argument is simple and emminently falsifiable via a variety of evidential pathways, with C14 squarely the first discriminator. Surely the position of Last Thursdayism is being accepted by those who believe without any evidence that there were christians on the planet because the literature published under Constantine said that there were, and that this belief was supported by the emperors who followed bullneck.
