Did you understand what I wrote in the OP? I can take on board your point about modern Christianity inventing its own persecutions right now, and the lack of credibility of their worldview. The OP is about the history of this "poor persecuted Christian" worldview, which has given rise to the present worldview, and which has recently been exposed as devoid of historical reality.Whether they did this two thousand years ago is also of no account to the credibility of their worldview.
There are many forms of credibility (or its antithesis) and one of them is historical. Are you arguing that we can learn nothing from history?
No, you have the penchant for leaping to general conclusions. I have been much more specific.
I say there is nothing useful to learn from whether or not your two thousand (give or take) year old conspiracy theory existed. Christianity was and remains a steaming pile. Governments were, and remain, steaming piles.
You bring nothing new or useful.
