Dumb Chabad article
No idea caused greater fret to the oppressors, no movement has brought greater upheaval. It was due to this that Constantine chose Christianity over Judaism as the religion of his empire -- despite the wildfire spread of Jewish values throughout the Mediterranean: Christianity could be conformed to accept the status quo, to leave the emperor his godlike power and keep the masses in ignorance. Come to church on Sundays, accept your lot in life and obey the rules we make for you.
Yeah, you know the Church rolling over on it's belly. Too bad it spent the next few hundred years fighting off heretical emperors trying to impose their views on proper Church-state relations on it.
The facts always confound the best arguments.
