Since its beginnings, Christianity has been a scandal for Jews and foolishness for pagans (1 Cor 1, 23). Jews could not accept a Messiah who died a disgraceful death on a cross while Greeks saw the new religion as an irrational myth. Meanwhile, Romans persecuted Christians for political reasons because they were considered a threat to the Caesar’s power.
However, once Christianity became a state religion, its followers starting persecuting other religions as supposed idolatry.
The contemporary dispute with Christianity is of a moral nature. On one hand, it concerns the cruelty of God who gives the world salvation through the suffering and death of his innocent son; on the other – the command of “love thy neighbor” which is the fundamental ethical principle of Christianity .
