Thought of the Week

The Roman Emperor Diocletian caused the greatest persecution of Christians, leading to the deaths of hundreds of thousands if not more.
Christianity however, has caused millions of deaths through the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, the extermination of various Native American tribes, etc.

If Diocletian had successfully erased Christianity prior to Constantine's rise to power, would their death's be justifiable if it was known that millions would die over the next two thousand years?
