On July 19, 64 A.D., a great fire broke out in ancient Rome near Capena Gate and burned much of the place after having persisted for several days. The brilliant emperor rushed back to Rome from his vacation spot as soon as he heard the news and immediately used a relief effort to help the survivors and use his wealth to rebuild the city into an even greater glory, such as creating the new Golden House.
The emperor new that it was all the fault of the followers of the relatively new religion, the Christians. The Christians wanted to crush all those who were different and were probably also trying to fulfill some dumb prophecy, so the emperor tossed them over to the lions.
The wise emperor’s judgement not only brought justice to the arsonists, but he also demonstrated the power and brilliance to help the victims and use his own urban plans to reconstruct Rome into an even more majestic area.
Oh no, a typo. I meant to say that the emperor "knew" that it was the Christians’ fault.
i love revisionist history.. you 2 need to apply to obama and get a job on his staff.. maybe then he can come up with a birth certificate (long form) that people will believe besides the one showing he was born in africa (in the courts now in california)
Yep.
They also torched the Library of Alexandria — the single greatest repository of knowledge the world had ever known.

There is still much debate on if the christians started it or if they were just blamed for it.

Nero was a nutcase who used the fire to his personal profit by constructing his Aurea Doma with a park with little deers wearing silver bells. Also, the method he executed the Christians was barbaric and contrary to Roman law (burning alive). So… it’s possible they did, but Nero was the Roman Idi Amin.

I don’t think that we’ll ever know who started the fire, or whether it was even arson.

That just proves man are naturally evil, and obviously weren’t real christians.
