Your grammar is atrocious. That should be:

Thou shalt have whatsoever religion that thou desireth as long it remaineth moderate according to the definition of the majority.



I had a quick look at the wiki entry for the Diocletian persecution. There's an interesting footnote:

Early pagan opponents of the Christians would see their God as a political criminal, executed under a governor of Judea for proclaiming himself "King of the Jews", and note that their holy texts included an allegorical attack on the Roman state that prophesied its imminent destruction (Revelation). These arguments were less effective as time went on, since Christians were visibly apolitical

If only we'd remained apolitical.

Just had a final thought I wish to share.

In this modern day and age, shouldn't we be burning DVDs instead of books?

I am afraid this wouldn't work, as "Burning" means "Copying" when it comes to CDs and DVDs

Really?

...and it doesn't mean copying. It just means "writing data to"
