Christianity in Rome

         Today after finishing our quiz in Western Civ class we read to ourselves a little bit about how Christianity both spread and affected Rome. In the early days of Christianity, it had been put down by the Romans and any followers of it were accused of "acts against the gods" and either crucified, murdered, tortured, or the worst of all, thrown into the Roman Coliseum and either feed to animals or killed by gladiators. Either way the Christians had a hard life trying desperately to convert the Romans, but eventually they would take Rome as its leading religion.
