"So yeah the son of God was on earth, but you just missed him. He was crucified about 50 years ago. Your dad might've met him."

I've always wondered why people were so ready to convert. Like, if I was some ancient Roman and some guy came up to me offering a new god that's even better than the old ones and much easier to worship, I wouldn't just immediately fall for it. It just seems like a scam.

It did take a while, and I'm sure people called it a cult of Jesus or something back then too (Idk if there's evidence for that but there were many cults of Gods/demigods etc. in antiquity)

Periodic reminder that the Roman Empire sucked, for everyone who wasn't a patrician.
