Socrates expressed the golden rule long before Christianity.
....
prof.Bart Ehrman (who some Xtians like to cite) recently stated it long predates Jesus...He also teaches that Xtian claims of persecution are exaggerated and that he doesn't support Xtian
claims of Biblical miracles...so we can see how
selectively xtian apologists cite Ehrman..LoL.
Ehrman tells how Xtians campaigned for religious
freedom leading up to Constantine , and that late 4th
century Xtian Emperor Theodosius outlawed freedom
of religion - making Xtianity the state enforced faith
combined with persecution of non-Xtians ...
